I too installed the latest Intel drivers (153621) and, although they work well, they do not stop these new white flashes during boot.

I use the Logitech M557 with great pleasure. Why? True 5-button mouse (scrollwheel tilts left and right and also pushes down (middle button); the tilt buttons (XButton1 and XButton2) and middle button (MButton) are easily remappable with AutoHotkey). There is also a Windows button below the...

In my use of the script sample, all of the hotkey definitions are placed early in the script (above any middle-button hotkeys) and all of hte middle-button actions I am actually doing also are triggered by hotkeys within this script. I don't know if in general this will drive other programs...

See the link http://ahkscript.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7589 for an AutoHotkey script that allows the state of the two barrel buttons to be detected when the pen is tapped against the Surface. This allows the barrel buttons be programmed to suit, within limits. (Windows still, somewhere...

Yes, I get two full-screen flashes, mid-intensity grey, one at the start of boot (more or less) and one just before the desktop and the user logon screen is shown. Microsoft had done such a nice job before -- deep black, no flash, good looking. Shame their testing now lets this through.

I changed the option to USB -> SSD, hit enter, went to Exit Setup, hit Enter, and accepted the change. Now, when I stick a USB drive into the USB port (Macrium Reflect or MemTest 6 in my case ) and either (a) restart or (b) boot from a shutdown by pressing the power button, the USB stick is...

The thread at http://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/2os33j/to_all_sp3_owners_who_still_cant_get_surface_hub/ has the answer. In spite of the fact that my Surface was fully updated, software and firmware, according to Windows Update, there must be secret hidden updates that are only applied...

The pen has been repaired many time. The Surface machine itself sees the pen; it works as a mouse and draws in OneNote. The button on the top summons OneNote. But the Surface App refuses to connect to the pen, showing instead the message described in the original post.

The Microsoft Store has a "Surface" app that is supposed to allow customization of the pen -- the pressure sensitivity and the top button in particular. On my fully up-to-date Surface Pro 3 (i5 256G), the Surface app fails to connect to the pen, and instead shows a message on each of the...

At some time over the past few months the right mouse button stopped working on the start screen and on its tiles. The right mouse button does not work regardless of the method used to trigger it: right mouse button on a bluetooth mouse; right button click on the keyboard's track pad; long...

I believe MS is aware of this issue, because I posted a while ago in the MS forum thread and was recently asked by a forum moderator (MS via private message but within the forum thread) for the serial number of my Surface Pro 3.

Thanks for the bump of this topic and the pointer above to #26. Those pictures sold me, and Walmart now has my order.

I believe the DiskFresh program must be run in read-write mode to have an effect on the subsequent speed of reads from the SSD for three reasons. First, the DiskFresh documentation that I find online http://www.fact-reviews.com/info/diskfresh.aspx without doing an install (likely not official...

This is a status update to report that I have found a so-far accptable solution. (The third-party tool mentioned above is not what I was after because it is a GUI-mode keyboard simulator script.) First, I finally discovered that if I disable one particular one of the three "HID-compliant...

I'd like to be able to turn bluetooth off and on programatically, using the command line or a non-gui program. Something that turns airplane-mode off and on programatically would be fine as well. A lot of googling has shown little joy, but much of that googling shows older information. On my...
