Since posting this my wife's SP3 finished its Win10 upgrade and had the exact problems I'd had. I noted that Device Manager was showing 3 monitors, with Hardware IDs matching the externals. I downloaded monitor drivers (Dell in my case), to no obvious advantage other than the driver install...

As much as I think the industrial design of the dock is excellent compared to any other ultrabook dock, the drivers/software/whatever that sends signals to the display has been inconsistent for me. In order of preference, I suggest: Fully Shutdown Everything Shut windows down with the command...

No, the only sdcard that had been in there was unlabelled, and I did have a look at its volume details. However, if you have a labelled USB store showing up there, it's a good sign that's the sort of thing it's about. Good enough to satisfy me to ignore the setting. Thanks for the input.

I've got an SP3 I5 256. No, I don't have anything plugged in, but I did note all those Toshiba products when I searched for it! Since I did a clean reinstall last week I'm pretty sure that the only storage I've attached at all was a (Sandisk) microSD card -which is now out. I could see a sort...

Just browsing the settings>privacy area, and I see under 'Other Devices' that there is a setting for 'Let Apps use my TransMemory' -which is enabled by default. I don't seem to be able to find any reference to this anywhere -does anyone know what it does?

I upgraded in-place, and my dasiychained monitors just would not work via displayport after that, though weirdly I could use a mdp→HDMI convertor to drive one with no problems. Tried latest intel drivers etc, and different user accounts, but only a clean install got it sorted for me. Still have...

Mine is just over a year old, and in the last two weeks has split near the connector due to using it 'undetached', that is folded back with the keys facing outward - as you refer to as the 'official' way. I confidently say it is due to this, as the way is it split makes it obvious where the...

Aha - you found that snippet too huh? Still didn't work for me!

I went through this yesterday with no success. Formatted FAT32, built with the MS Media Creation Tool, and checked there was no SD card installed (thanks GreyFox7!). Still didn't work. This morning I've also just tested with an OpenSuse Linux LiveUSB that I have used with it previously on 8.1...

Thanks, but no SD card in there... I managed enough of a reset to make the monitors work off the dock, so my immediate issue is fixed now. Would rather know I had the usb boot option for the future though.

....and fixed after a clean reinstall. Seems like overkill though.

I want to do a full reset (to see if I can make my external monitors work again), and have created media OK, but my SP3 won't boot off the USB created. I've tried both Power+VolDown and the Shift-Restart>UseADevice methods, but it always boots to the installed system. Any suggestions?

Good to hear others having luck. Even with latest Intel drivers, no improvement. Doing a clean install now...

I have the same problem (see thread here). The first time I docked post-upgrade I go one monitor. After a reboot I got no monitors. In the Screen resolution dialog no monitors are detected, and if I WIN+P to 'Extend' it just sits doing nothing. Joe, do you have any luck plugging your miniDP...

Yes, it used to work very reliably for me in 8.1, but now in 10 I can only do it sometimes. I haven't found a pattern. Does it work for you the same with desktop and modern apps? I have found that if I fullscreen a modern app like kindle, which hides the taskbar (which works very nicely as...

I know the theory is that you drag to the left or right side of the screen. For me it is very flaky - I can only get it to work about 20% of the time in tablet /touch mode . It always works with the keyboard shortcut of win+leftarrow though. It also seems to behave differently with desktop vs...

Aha - that makes sense: my other issue post W10 is that my external monitors no longer work. o_O Sounds like there's some chance that if I can get them working, the continuum will fix too. Thanks for the feedback

Oh balls. I know others have had issues with different dell revisions with Win 8.1, and had been counting myself lucky until now. Look forward to your update!

I'm very happy with the automatic continuum behaviour when attaching /detaching the type cover, or flipping it behind for quick tablet use. Very well executed. However when I put it in the surface dock, it remains in tablet mode unless I attach the type cover (which I don't want to use as I...

My update to W10 appeared to have gone well until I got home and put my SP3 in the dock. It had previously been working fine with my 2x Dell 2414 monitors daisychained. On first connecting after the upgrade, only the first monitor worked. I tried a reboot, and after that it will not display...
