Most probably, the heat is not from charging, but rather from the CPU. Often when plugging in the SP3, processes start (after a while) that use relatively high CPU load and for that reason also consume lots of power. These processes would drain the battery when not plugged in. Processes I have...

After I got the firmware update of 1/15/2015 for five times and each time it was installed successfully according to the update history, it didn't happen anymore since 3/10/2015. On 3/13/2015 I received the firmware update dated 3/10/2015. Since then, I again received this update for another...

I seem to have exactly the same issue as the OP - actually I was just about to write a similar post because the update reappeared yesterday after a break of a couple of weeks. In the update history, each of the updates are marked as successful. After I first recognized the repeated update, I...

:-) It is however more severe, that powercfg doesn't speak correct XML. If you look at the various screenshots of powercfg in this thread from posters with German language setup, you will see, that all the powercfg reports are in English anyway, even on Windows system setup for German (Besides...

IMO, the surface 3 pro is not very suitable for classical chess progams. These programs are typically designed, to use really all CPU cycles available to find the best move (in general, the more they use of the CPU, the stronger they will play. There is also a strong competition between the...

The sleepstudy problem is a bug for the German language adaption of powercfg. With me it typically works, when I give a longer duration. powercfg /sleepstudy /duration 20 Later it often works with the default duration as well. The bug can easily be seen in the xml output of sleepstudy...

I also get this error, but not at all times. It hast to do with the German language. If you change to English, the error will go away. For me, it tyspically works, when I give a longer duration: powercfg /sleepstudy /duration 7 The problem can be seen, when looking at the xml output, which is...

Thanks! Seems, I oversee something. I have no problem, to access the URL you have given. However, I see no means, to add this URL manually to the tracking protection lists. (I tried to look carefully at your screen shot.) All I see, is the "get tracking protection list online", where I cannot...

Google was the Standard search engine, when I read your post ... I made Bing the standard and deleted Google as a search Engine, just to check. No difference. To be sure, I rebooted and checked IE add-ons. The only item under search engines is Bing. Under tracking protection, I still don't see...

Is there a trick to enable Google blocking? I don't see it here. I can find easylist and privacy choice, but not Google Blocking. I am sitting in Europe. Isn't this choice availabe everywhere?

There seems to be a solution, unfortunately it is not really documented: http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/help-with-freeze-on-boot.13741/page-2#post-109851 I see the same issue since I have the SP3 (December 2014). Maybe it is related to exactly the same symptoms I see (not always) when...

I see the same. Perhaps 30% of all tries, my sp3 was hanging at the black screen with the "surface" displaying on the screen only (and the animated dots, that dance around would not appear). It never happened after waking up from hibernation, neither from complete shutdown, only when rebooting...

Nuspied, no, I only tried miracast/WIDI projection - video and audio together. Doing this, until a few days ago, the direct-WIFI interfaced second screen would disconnect after 20 to 40 minutes.

Nipponham, I am not sure, whether your question is targeted at the OP "rxotic" only, or also at my post concerning a similar problem with Netgear PTV3000. I have my PTV3000 connected to a Yamaha RX-A820 A/V receiver (capable of 7.1 sound). And the good news from my side: now it is working with...

hmm - I wrote, that I think, that the Sp3 is not well suited. I believe, I know very well why. I tried to explain why. you asked a question. I again tried to answer - I hope in a polite way (it is not my native language, as you certainly have recognized). I have in no way complained about the...

Slightly off topic .... Not sure I understand your question. One is coding that way to make the program as strong playing as possible. Users like to compare different chess programs, by letting them play vs. each other. A program using 100% CPU will be able to analyze more positions in the same...

Here, I do not see any improvement in WiFi performance. As a small benchmark, I copied a 10 GByte file (CIFS on a computer connected by LAN) once from a nearby location in the same room of the router and once through the ceiling. Result: 12.5 MByte/s and 4.8 MByte/s, no difference after firmware...

As a computer chess programmer, I think that the SP3 is not very well suited for computer chess. Typically computer chess engines will use all CPU resources they can get and will try to keep them working all the time (even when it's your move). This is at least true, when set to max strength or...

Found this message by search. Unfortunately, I see the same issue with a Netgear ptv 3000 Adapter. With a Dell vostro and a Lenovo Thinkpad, I get 5.1 surround, with Sp3 only stereo. In the configuration of the audio device, I cannot select 5.1. Using a cable adapter and connecting by Hdmi to...
