By "plugged in", do you mean being in the docking station with the keyboard attached, or outside the docking station and the cord plugged into the SP2 with the keyboard attached?

Thanks for the comments.... perhaps I will do the latest firmware and see what happens. I know it will also do all previous firmware updates as well when doing the most recent one. Seems like only some had big problems anyway.... might get the nerve to do that today.

I've had my SP2 since early Feb of this year and really like it. All is working well in the Windows 8.1 mode whether in or out of the docking station and whether in tablet or laptop mode. Where issues have popped up recently is when I go into my companies Virtual Machine mode via Windows 7...

Yup, the March FW update reappeared on my update page this AM. Since I didn't install the Feb FW update, and I have no plans on getting the Power Cover, I will not be installing the March FW update, why risk it? I do hope MS will get their act together on these FW updates though. I know some...

I agree....they seem like a bit of a mystery to me. But, if one of these firmware updates were to come out with something that would be advantageous, I would likely wait to see how it went with others, and then give it a try. But, if the disclosed updates weren't any improvement that I thought...

Yes.....congrats! I have had my 256/8 for about 6 weeks now and, knock on wood, no real problems. I have avoided the Firmware updates, but done all the other updates and combined with the docking station it is working as advertised. In fact, just came back from my local office and 3 other...

I checked and there are NO firmware updates listed in my history. Also, I have downloaded and installed every other type of update (like the Defender updates) that have come along, just avoiding the FW updates. If my computer is working fine, and a percentage of people are having issues when...

Actually, I need to correct something. When I looked this AM it shows the Feb FW available, not the March. I could have sworn it was the March FW available previously. This is very odd that I keep getting different FW's being available. Will still refrain from installing the Feb FW at this...

According to something I read on the MS website, it said that if you install a later firmware update it will install any prior firmware updates that had not been installed. So, whether you install the Feb one separately or not, it will apparently get installed before the computer installs the...

I'm with you. I haven't done any firmware updates yet! Until I start to hear there are no issues, I'm not installing them. As far as I can tell, my SP2 is working just fine....why risk it?

Take a deeeeeeep breath.....deeeeeeeeeeep. Biggest mystery in a long time....just stating a fact.

Well, I started the thread yesterday about the 3/11/14 Firmware Update being gone on my available updates page....well....this afternoon it suddenly reappeared! Anyone else, who hadn't done the update, now notice that it is back? I wonder if they fixed anything? I will be holding off loading...

Well....this is why I was giving appropriate time for others to test out the new Firmware. Sounds like some are perfectly fine and others are having issues. I never did install the Feb firmware update as my SP2 was working beautifully. I did, however, install the other updates that recently...

Has anyone noticed that the March Firmware Update disappeared? I installed the other updates early yesterday (Wed), but the March Firmware Update didn't appear until late yesterday (so after installing the other updates). I did NOT install it as I was waiting to hear if there were any issues...

Well....at least that answered my question about skipping past Firmware updates. When I read the info at the above link, it was clear that if you had skipped a previous Firmware update, but downloaded another later, you would get any previously skipped firmware updates. I guess this makes...

Well....I have a Type Cover, the one with the actual keys. I know I wasn't dreaming that one day it was making clicking noise as I typed. It surprised the heck out of me, but I couldn't figure out why it had suddenly started. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! : )

Quite odd.....no matter what I do, mute on, mute off....still can't get the clicking noise. Jrap, I agree, I normally don't like such sounds either, but as I stated in my original post, for some reason hearing the clicking sounds had me typing better....weird. I didn't even know there could be...

Thanks for the info. What is odd is I never went to these locations to change the typing sound and yet it wasn't originally on, and then it was on, and then it was off again. When I went to the locations you both mentioned, it said the sound was on....but....as I type now the only sound is the...

Well....so this morning I start to type on my Type Cover and it is making a "clicking" sound each time I type a key. At first this annoyed me, but then I realized I was actually typing better for some reason and started to like hearing the sound. Well, I must have hit a button again because...

I would definitely recommend the SP2. I have had my SP2 for almost 4 weeks now and so far it has worked as advertised. My company was requiring a computer update because of the XP situation, and so I had to get a new work computer. So, the main focus of this is for work. They required a...
