    My first "true" Surface Pro hardware issue

    Well... full disclosure here, I've already contacted Surface Support and I'm doing the advanced replacement bit already, so this isn't really bagging on the device...just sharing experience. A few days ago, I went to turn down the volume on my SP3 during a meeting a bit (not completely...but...

    New iphone owner - how do you integrate with the Surface Pro 3

    Frank, I don't know if anyone responded to you or not on this, but I too despise iTunes, especially in Windows. I don't have it installed on any of my Windows machines (although I do have Macs available to me should I need to use it). In any case, there are very few things that you will...

    New iphone owner - how do you integrate with the Surface Pro 3

    I won't bang on you because at this point it's nothing but a urine spouting contest between major OS's at this point IMHO. There are a ton of scanning apps that are all pretty good on iOS. I use an app called TurboScan and you can easily send scans to the OneDrive app from within the app. When...

    Pen Double Press with External Monitor on the Left

    Well...frankly I get this hosed up behavior no matter how many external monitors are hooked up or what configuration they're in. I've managed to just work around it and drag the mouse around from screen to screen to get what I want.

    Seriously.... necessary to create partition or not?

    Solved The tablet that can replace your laptop - It is not a lie!

    Well, since we're in the photo posting mood (although this ain't the best quality here). I'd say this is laptop-replacin' territory :-D

    Solved The tablet that can replace your laptop - It is not a lie!

    Yes. It has replaced my laptop...but it hasn't replaced my tablet! How's that for ironic? When the SP3 has cellular data, dependable sleep/hibernation/wake functions, and truly all day battery life... Then it will do both for me.

    Airport Extreme Workaround

    Also take note that 2.4Ghz building penetration is higher than that of 5Ghz, so while the 5Ghz may have more unoccupied channels and even better throughput in ideal situations, signal loss may actually mean that the 2.4Ghz connection might win out. In any case, I think it should be an accepted...

    What's the VPN client you are using?

    September Patch Tuesday - No WiFi Fix for SP3

    Thanks for the report Mocho. For me personally, as I've stated before, I've never had any speed issues at all and the "lost" wireless adapter isn't an every time thing. I can go days without it happening at all, and I can even go through several sleep/wake cycles in a day and then...

    Airport Extreme Workaround

    I used to have a 5th Gen Airport Extreme in my house and from day one I always had the SSID for the 5Ghz radio named differently (mainly because I like to actually KNOW which radio I'm connected to) and I still have had the same issues as tons of other folks with not being able to automatically...

    September Patch Tuesday - No WiFi Fix for SP3

    Against my better judgment, I'm going to give the thing a complete restore in the next day or two. I really hate doing so, because of the time involved, but I just have to see if it will "fix" it. If it doesn't...this thing is getting replaced.

    After Patch - The Microsoft Office Document Cache Encountered a Problem

    Ok. I had this too (and I've had it before as well...as have countless other folks apparently). Now for me, I moved my OneDrive local folder to my SD Card the other week. Now, mind you, this was working perfectly without any issues for at least a week and a half until the latest update. When I...

    Note taking on the SP3 is like a dream, but I keep bumping the windows button!

    I think the only way to disable the Windows button also kills the Power and Volume buttons...so kind of a bummer. I'm kinda holding out hope that MS will offer a way to toggle the button for folks that are having issues with it, but who knows if that will actually happen or not.

    Something's wrong w/ my system Time after update

    Hmmm... very strange. I didn't have that issue at all after the update. Cosmic rays? :) Did it not boot up before or after it actually started the firmware update?

    Should I install the new Intel Graphics drivers or wait for Windows to send it in an update?

    I don't know personally, but I think they've taken a few months in the past on the older generations. I guess my question would be, "what issue are you trying to solve?" I mean, don't get me wrong... The reported gains seem fairly impressive, but I'm not a gamer personally and I've never once...

    September Patch Tuesday - No WiFi Fix for SP3

    It's a pointless debate, no adequate method of determining propensity of issues can truly be found on any forum. I've not once said personally that "everyone" is having these issues, but I take complete issue with the inference of that meaning that "no one" does. Although I've had my occassional...

    September Patch Tuesday - No WiFi Fix for SP3

    Hyper-V is Microsoft's Hypervisor technology. In it's most basic form, it allows your PC to execute multiple (or a single) virtual PCs/Servers on top of your physical hardware. Hyper-V, ESXi, Xen, RHEV, and others, are all variations on accomplishing this. As for this particular thread, I...

    [Update] Will your Hardware/Software issues be resolved today? Perhaps

    Well...it "looks" like everything went well except for one thing... I moved my OneDrive local folder to my 128GB SD card last week (I've got it setup for BitLocker and to automatically unlock on sign in), and although I hadn't had any issues before, for some reason after the update, I started...
