Moved to new Win10 on SP3 forum...

Moved to new S3 Win10 forum.

Yep rumors only. @seerex, if you can wait, I would, at least to see what the specs will be on the SP4. You may not be impressed with them, and then you wait until release day and buy yourself an SP3 at a tidy discount.

Adding the EZ tracking protection list to IE serves the same function as installing the awesome AdBlock Plus extension. But @ctitanic discovered that if you did in desktop IE, then it also somehow on the backside did the same thing to Metro IE. So even though you couldn't install AdBlock in...

These features may return in future updates, there is a lot of noise about the swiping being gone, on Microsoft's own forum as well.

Just for other reading this thread as well... the easiest way to back to where you were, is to get the free version of Macrium and make an image first, before you upgrade! :)

Hmm, yes I've heard that Linux's touch interface and Pen input and handwriting recognition is much better than Microsoft's....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::p

You could do like Lee suggested and just port your home number to the one cell phone. Or keep the home number, but forward it to your cell phone. Or integrate it with Google voice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Voice https://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html

Firmware updates for the SP3 come down the pipe with Windows Updates. If you're not sure what you've received/installed, you can go to Windows Updates and then click on Advanced Options > View your update history.

Hi Paul, welcome. Is there anything interesting in the event logs?

First you have to make hidden folders visible. Double-click on your user folder, then click on the File tab, then "Change folder and search options", then the "View" tab. In the "Advanced Settings" area, about halfway down, change the setting to "Show hidden...". Now look in your user folder...

Probably the issue. And besides, there's really no meaningful troubleshooting to try, until the cable/connection method is eliminated as the problem. The Internet is stuffed to bursting with things that "work fine on 95% other devices, but not on this one...." :D

Just do a clean install of 8, then upgrade to 10 from there. You'll get your 4 rows back.

You tried using a brand new USB thumb drive?

So IE doesn't work either?

I also love Chrome and use it heavily on my workstation at work. But on my SP3 I love to do 2-finger scrolling with the touchpad, and Chrome scrolls terribly. IE and Edge are buttery smooth. As well, Chrome makes my SP3 run hot and hits my battery when I'm not plugged in. So IE or Edge only...

Is it a used USB thumb drive? Not saying this will fix your problem, but I hosed my SP3 months and finally just ended up downloading the SP3 bootable image from Microsoft. I couldn't make it work until I ran out and bought a new thumb drive. Just a thought.

If you're using the Pen, then a long-press with the Pen should do the same as right-click.

Awesome! Me too.

I think it's only a temporary thing. They are in the middle of converting the consumer OD over to the backend of the business OD, and as such there are bugs and issues to work out.
