    The time is now

    I got the firmware update on my SP2 but not on my wife's SP2. I wonder if it has been pulled? Edit: I see that it is available for manual download now on the Microsoft website.

    Power Cover Charging Quirks

    I had run the battery down on my power cover to about 20% . I attached the charger to charge it up overnight and left the computer running because I had read here that the battery might not charge up fully while shut down. Well, the power cover did not charge at all last night. I had to...

    I have a type 2 cover (and a power cover on its way) and with the exception of an occasionally disappearing micro SD drive, I have none of those issues.

    Windows 8.1 Update 1 fixes the "slow Wi-Fi when bluetooth devices connected" problem

    I have Update 1 installed and just tested and my speed on 2.4Ghz is still about half with bluetooth turned on. I am quite sure this is a hardware/driver issue. Update 1 did not update any drivers that I could see.

    Cannot Update Some SP2 Drivers

    Same issue for me. I just posted the solution in this thread: http://www.surfaceforums.net/forum/microsoft-surface-pro-2/8291-regret-factory-reset-sp2.html Basically after the reset you update the firmware first then any missing drivers manually before allowing Windows update to run.

    I did a factory reset and had similar issues with drivers and firmware not being updated properly by Windows update and ending up with yellow triangles on devices in device manager. A bit of searching showed that what needed to be done is to download the February firmware update and then update...

    Any way to scroll using the pen?

    Yes. You can just flick the pen either up or down in the window you are wanting to scroll. You should start the downward (or upward) movement before touching the screen only brushing the screen with the pen tip. This motion will start the screen scrolling. To stop it just tap it with the...
