I have been intensely using two Surface Book 2 15" devices for about 5 years now. No bulge. No troubles. Lived around the world with both.

If your keyboard is detached, can it be re-attached in reverse? Some Surface models allow this.

Thanks for the clarification. Windows will indeed revert to the next window in the same application (Excel, Word, etc.) instead of switching to the last window you used. That is by design. However, try repeatedly using the ALT+TAB combination with your left hand, which will switch through...

Applications such as Excel, Word, Powerpoint, and many graphics or photo editing utilities operate in a multiple window environment, with each window keeping the overall application open. If two Excel spreadsheets are open, for example, closing one will not simply close the other. However, to...

I have successfully used this trick. It works because the Surface battery protection circuitry gets confused whether it needs to charge, or shut down. Because of this, it refuses a charge, except for a tiny trickle, which is necessary to operate that very circuitry. After several hours, the...

Howdy, Rango. Your video shows that the Surface is sometimes reading the position of the tip. Pull the nib (the tip of the pen) straight out with your fingers, then push it back in. Try writing with any other app, such as "paint" if you still cannot get it working.

I purchased two Surface Book 2 15” 1TB devices in 2016 for use as my production geophysical workstation, and a backup. The SB2s are brilliant and reliable machines, and worth every gold coin. I have Macs too. I like Apples AND oranges. Still no touch screen on them, though, and far less...

I think @GreyFox7 is diagnosing the likely error well. It could be that you are using heavy action with your hands while typing, perhaps heavier than most people type. Nevertheless, Microsoft should design the keyboard to handle any stress, if this is indeed the problem.. If you replace the...

Glad you got it sorted. Nice monitor!

If the monitor is made to be Display 1, you should be able to fill its screen. You can choose which display shows the task bar.

I think the display cable should connect your SP3 to the monitor, not to the dock. Or maybe I'm confused ...

Indeed, the ability to adjust when and if the hibernate mode starts is missing from Windows 11.

Okay, then I think it is time for a "Reset my PC", "Keep my files" option. Seems you have a driver configuration a bit off.

Make sure that SP7 has clean ports. If a connection is dirty or has some kind of obstructing debris, the SP7 may not detect that the lid is opening.

Which Surface device are you referring to?

The Surface Pro 3 will certainly be running with Windows 11, not 8 or 10. And the machine is much more clumsy for watching Youtube videos. I recommend an Amazon Fire, Galaxy Tab, or Apple iPad. Your original question included a query about reliability. The Surface Pro 3 requires more...

I suppose you saw this already: http://www.surfaceforums.net/threads/gps-on-the-surface-book.18297/

My fix was to clean the port and blade connectors. That includes blowing air across the ports. If you are using any protective skin or decals, make sure there is no interference with the tight fit along the hinge.

Okay. Try holding in a key (Windows Key) while connecting the Type Cover. If that doesn't work, try a cold boot, with the type cover attached, and hold in the Windows Key. Just trying to help.

Should be possible. This sounds like directly contacting a real person at the monitor's manufacturing company is what you should do. Does the monitor work while connected directly the SP6 without a docking station?
