I'd be curious to know this too.

Could you elaborate on what you are looking for? I have a Garmin and the MapMyRide.com site shows my stats for speed and cadence.

Hardware either works or it doesn't work. You can't break a piece of hardware that would then make a Toolbar disappear. Therefore, it is a software issue. Software includes Windows 10 and Office. This may be extreme, but I guarantee, if you reset Windows and reinstall Office it will be better.

Yes, it is the pen that calculates whether it is touching the screen and then sends that info to the Surface. Resetting the pen battery will usually fix it.

Because MS itself states that power cords are eligible based on a purchase date prior to mid 2015. The trouble is that they are only approving original cords purchased with the Surface, which is crap. If someone purchased a power supply separately, and it is defective then it should apply. I'm...

My SP3 I5 with 4GB RAM runs Photoshop CC perfectly. I was editing a 30+ layer, 320MB PSD file yesterday with no hiccups.

My opinion? At first glance the pivot feature doesn't outway the inefficiency of space.

Personally, I would go for the Surface Pro just for the better keyboard, accurate pen and kickstand.

Actually, he said he would try Turning it Off and back On again. To a non technical user this could mean pressing the power button (screen off) and then again (screen on). Which certainly is not a reboot. Turning off random backround services is not recommended either.

Wow, a Refresh (forcing to reinstall all software) seems excessive for a background service that wouldn't shut down. Just Restart the machine. Dont turn it off and on, go to Power -> Restart.

Writing to your SSD in general eventually kills SSDs, so should we not use our SPs? Hibernation is no worse than simply using your drive normally. It's an old wives tale that writing to the same file on an SSD will shorten it's life. SSDs detect bad blocks over their life and relocate them...

Try disabling the service running Cortana?

I suppose you are right. Although it could be argued that, unlike Apple, MS built its brand on making software that runs on any hardware, so any comparison is not really equal. If MS made desktops and laptops (at competitive prices) I would have had a lot more MS products.

Been with Microsoft since DOS 2.01 and Flight Sim 1.0. I have many (3 desktops and 2 servers) with Windows, plus a SP3. I used to own an IPAQ PDA (2003) and my last windows phone was a Touch Pro, after that debacle I switched to Android.

You do realize that using a Microsoft account does not actually store anything on the cloud by default. It simply uses Microsoft to authenticate logging into your pc.

Connected devices are one of the main culprits for waking up a Windows machine. If you have anything bluetooth/usb (pen, mouse etc) they could be waking it up. A mouse especially will keep it awake. Other than that it could be software related.

Did you try a hard reset with the power cord attached? Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.

Can I ask why you aren't just running those "work activities" under Win7 Compatibility mode in Win10? Seems like a huge resource hog (and very inefficient) to run a VM of Windows when you already have Windows.

But does Thunderbird support ActiveSync?

Couple things. 1) You are talking about the "Mail" App. Outlook, which is a part of Microsoft Office doesn't have this issue. 2) This bug has been reported. If you go to the Microsoft Feedback site it is mentioned there many times.
