    Anyone else notice unstable connection to USB devices?

    I got a good powered USB Hub and the USB CD/DVD player/burner is working stable, when connected directly to the Surface Pro 4. But when I use the Surface Hub, it does not work. When connected to the Surface Hub, the powered USB Hub lights up and when connection the CD player, the CD Player...

    Anyone else notice unstable connection to USB devices?

    I found one of my old USB Hubs, but it was not working, broken USB Hub. Since I had not tried since the "Anniversary Update", I tried without the SP4 Hub and my portable CD/DVD player worked fine when plugged directly into the SP4. Then I tried with the SP4 Hub and still have connection issues...

    Anyone else notice unstable connection to USB devices?

    I've had my SP4 since shortly after initial product launch. And since day 1, devices connected either via the SP4 USB port or even the dock USB ports, have always been unstable. The connection works and then disconnects and comes back again, back and forth. But pretty much to a point of the...

    Help! Type cover key fell off!

    Even if no store is in your area. Call Support, they will more than likely allow an in warranty exchange. I've done it with a MS Ergo Keyboard just a couple years back. Turn around was very fast. They sent me a good one and let me keep the bad one.

    What's the best browser to use with Surface devices?

    Chrome works exceptionally well on the SP4, as long as you do not make it the default browser. The moment you make Chrome the default browser, that's when it crashes a lot. But if you use Chrome and don't set it as Windows "default" browser, it runs well and does not crash much.

    Screen doesn't turn on after sleep?

    For anyone not having success with Win + P. Try pressing the power button, so the keyboard lights up and then press Control + Alt + Del . This seems to help if there is ever a case where Win + P fails.

    Skinning your SP4

    I got the black leather from Stickerboy. It totally changes the complexion and feel of the device. Easier to hold, no longer so afraid it will slip. And it makes things feel sturdier.

    Article: Four Ways to Improve SP4 Battery Life

    I like that CPU limiting option. Most of us probably purchased more CPU than we really need anyway. At least for now. Maybe at the device matures, more of us will need 100% more often. And maybe MS will have their "computer science" problem figured out by then.

    What's the best browser to use with Surface devices?

    I use Edge with my SP4. Chrome was crashing way too much. And I have done total wipes and reinstalls of Chrome more times than I remember, with no change in the frequent crashing. I don't trust Edge's security of passwords very much. Unlike Chrome and Fire Fox, there is not master encryption...

    Downloading Amazon Prime video

    Does not matter. Amazon has it for some platforms and needs to support Windows. Anyone who is a good enough customer with Amazon can probably get some small perk if they express displeasure via phone. I have seen Amazon do it for so much. But nobody has to take my word for it. I just know I...

    How do you mobile users carry around your SPs and SBs?

    I make sure to turn mine off when I put it in a leather sleeve. To avoid any possible heat building up. But I only use the sleeve when I am in situations where I am concerned it could be dropped or in travel.
