    Solved Windows Mail client not opening with Win 10

    Is anyone else having problems using Windows Mail client with Win 10 preview? For the last couple days, I haven't been able to open the Windows mail client. When I open it, it starts then immediately minimizes to the task bar. Once that happens, I can't open it at all. Each time I try to...

    I'm running VMWare Workstation 10 and have no problems. I also have a W7 VM that has no problems.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    A few other folks have mentioned this as well. I have auto updates enabled and I haven't had any problems (fingers crossed). Are other folks having this issue or do you have auto updates turned on?

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Frank, @ctitanic , has a pinned thread at the beginning of this forum that has a link explaining how to download and create a recovery disk/image. Very useful. I used it to crate a recovery USB image in case I need it.

    Anyone planning on trying Windows 10 Preview tomorrow?

    Threw caution to the wind and went all in. Installed on SP3 and so far it's ok. I'll be playing with it and hope I don't have any problems tomorrow when I take it out to meetings. Not to sure about the return of the Start menu. I've gotten used to not using it.

    Screen Protector - Yes or No?

    I take notes every day. I haven't noticed any difference at all. I would highly recommend that you let the Best Buy (or whomever you buy from) folks put it on. It can be tricky.

    Screen Protector - Yes or No?

    I've never used a screen protector on any device and haven't had a problem. Until a month or so ago. My HTC 8X suddenly has a 3/8" scratch down the middle. Don't know how/where/why/when it happened but I have it. Arrghhh!! I figured if it could happen to my 8x then why not my SP3? So I...

    I still have some love for my iPad

    Here's the thing, without trying something, you will never know how to do it. I don't think anyone expects a new user to know how to hi-lite a word. This isn't something that you would normally do as a brand new user. Pinch to zoom, yes. Scroll up/down with finger, yes. Swipe left/right, yes...

    I still have some love for my iPad

    Lol!! For me, the whole Windows ecosystem is the best. So, yup, I am all in with Windows. Windows Surface, Windows 8.1 gaming desktop, and Windows HTC 8x phone. Office 2013 on all devices so I can access any Note, Doc, Excel, etc from any device. OneDrive is on all devices to storing and...

    Screen protectors for SP3?

    I haven't used a screen protector on any of my Surfaces or my phones. Then a couple weeks ago, I noticed a large scratch on my HTX 8x. Nothing major but definitely noticeable. I figured that if this could happen to my phone regardless of how careful I have been, it could happen to my SP3. I...

    DecalGirl Installed and Impressions

    I had one of these on my SPro2 and my RT still has one. They work great to protect the Surface on front and back . They didn't have anything for the sides but it looks like they do now which is nice as I will probably use them vs the other skin option. I went with DecalGirl because they have...

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    Ok, took the plunge and used Goodbytes tool. And.... now I can barely see #5. I watched some movies and they look good. I did a before and after of ctitanic's 4k video and I can definitely see an improvement in the black level. There's a real dark scene at 1:00 where before the fix, it was...

    SP3 display: poor black levels, and possible fix

    AAARRGGHHH!!! I torn by doing or not doing this. I can't see 13 on the test but I also don't want to mess up my good streak with my SP3. Gonna take the plunge as Mitch recommends. Let's see if this makes a difference.

    Well, the party's over :-(

    I had my doubts....:) . Glad to see you converted!! The SP3 is a big step up from the SP1/2. Love the re-unboxing concept. Just wait till the 44th day at BestBuy then you will get a new box and your dream can be fulfilled.

    My day with SP3

    This is my exact day. Running from meeting to meeting starting at 8-9am. In between meetings, I find a coffee shop/bakery/anything that has Wifi. I never have problems connecting to any of these Wifi hot spots. While at the Wifi location, I do email, review quotes, do some ppt, and browse...

    My "Keep or Return" Debate - Another Guy's Thoughts

    I use my i7 with similar use cases as the OP and I have no heat issues. I think I've heard the fan a few times if ever. Does it get hot once in a while, sure, but then so did my i5. I've been using my i7 today, with no heat or fan. Been web browsing and downloaded 4 movies totaling ~20GB.

    Surface 3 pro USB port problem

    I didn't think folks used external players any more. Usually you rip movies and copy to disk or stream. You also create ISO's of your software programs. Just curious, how many folks out there still using an external DVD player?

    Surface Pro 5

    That looks really cool. I like the concept but not to sure about carrying it rolled up. Still, to be able to go from laptop to larger tablet is awesome. But (there's always a but), I wonder how practical it would be to open a 17" tablet in a meeting.
