Don't know if this helps but I had strange Sp3 to External monitor experience that may be related. Post Win10 install my twin Dell monitors worked properly, albeit with Win10 scaling issues. I subsequently installed the HD5000 drivers and switched to them. This gave me custom resolutions that I...

With regard to you not being able to install the Intel 154004 drivers, I use slightly different variation on the install routine that was described on the previous page. Terminology is more correct wrt dialogs and points specifically to the actual .inf file. Doing it this way may allow you to...

Yeah I reckon this could be it. When I did my pre-sales research to set up my 2x Dell 2414 monitors, I read getting the latest Rev A03 would make the daisy chain to the surface dock process more reliable. For me it has worked flawlessly apart form the annoying scaling issues.

Right got it sorted and this may be useful for others. I turned Bitlocker off and let it decrypt my C drive. Fortunately it ran quickly and completed the task in under 20 minutes. I then did a brand new Acronis TI, full backup of the my 75GBs used space on my C drive. Instead of using 205Gb...

Has anyone turned bitlocker off on their SP3. If so how long does it take to decrypt the HDD? I think my large backup sizes might be due to Acronis True image not playing well with Bitlocker. But I have read somewhere it can take days to decrypt a HDD. I dont want to run the risk of things...

My i5 256GB is has 71GB use on the C drive. I want to back up my data (not image) to a NAS drive I have. When using the default incremental scheme the resulting back up is 205GB or pretty much three times the used space. Then a subsequent incremental is another 180GB. So after two backups...

My mistake. My boot mojo has returned. Must have been caused by something else. Skype metro was pretty dud anyway.

Looks like MUI Skype is dead. It gave me a notification that they are disabling it on Windows based devices in a few days if not already. Had to install the desktop version. Now the bios boot process on my SP3 takes over 2 minutes instead of 5 seconds. Great :-(

Hi Skyz. Whats the benefit of installing them? I am on the stock drivers and Win 8.1. I am bummed by the scaling issues with 2 Daisy chained 1920 x 1080 Dell Ultra sharps that look Ultra Blurry. Will these new drivers improve scaling issues or is this a problem with the OS and SP3?

Unfortunately I doubt that will fix it. I also have the arc mouse and the cursor still disappears in Chrome. Some clever guy suggested installing the Restart Chrome extension. It provides a convenient work around and brings the cursor back for a while.

Check your MUI version is set to automatically sync and that it is to the same account. To do this swype in from the right side of the screen, settings, options and make sure the settings there are correct and you should be good to go.

Me too. Granted I have the same problem on the iPad. A setting that mapped the lower 25% of the adjacent "cvbnm," keys to the spacebar would probably fix this annoyance.

I just got Microsoft Arc Touch Surface Edition an have been using it since yesterday. Takes a bit of getting used to. Scroll wheel being flat is harder than a raised wheel to find but once in use the haptic feedback is good. Only issue so far is it stopped working once. Bent it flat and back...

I assume it is the i5 x 256GB you are after which is also what I have. Microsoft have it online for $1572 although I dunno if that includes shipping. Better still Hardley Normal have it for $1548 which is where and what I paid for mine. I bought a bit of other gear too, but only paid $147 for...

I agree if you are interested in working out which Microsoft division is responsible for the problem or sorting out how to fix it. It is disingenuous to discount a list of usage criticisms on the a basis they are fault of someone else or are not unique to the specific device. Especially in the...

Thanks for the explanations and descriptions of how to address them (in you full reply above). They pretty much answer some questions I had WRT to using external monitors that I posted in another thread. I will wait and see how things improve for me when Window 10 shows up. Several people...

You are quoting the wrong guy. I said nothing:( Redguard mentioned the poor inbuilt support for PDF markup. I was simply replying to your post where you asserted I can annotate pdfs on the native windows pdf reader without an issue. But I totally agree, they should make the Same pen dock...

Yes I found exporting PDFs to OneNote to be a pain as well. My naivety had me going for this inbuilt annotation application app to sign PDFs as well. You did not look very hard. Try annotating with blue or red ink if you want to see an issue with that.

The worlds most popular web browser not working particularly well on the Surface Pro 3 is right up there with the color doesn't match my nails? That IS something I would be interested in knowing about pre purchase if I was a heavy user of Chrome. If something Microsoft market as being "The...

Newby in an Old thread. Just wondering if I should wait for the Win10 update in the hope it will fix my issue. Two external 1920 x 1080 monitors connected to docking station. Size slider is set to mid or recommended settings. Scaling or size of the various windows is fine across the screens and...
