This one has been out, what ... ? two months and no new release in sight. I just discovered that Paperport from Nuance will not run in Windows 10 even in compatability mode for Windows 8. Grrrrrr. Funny how some programs run fine and others .... guess what ... they tell you to buy the new...

I have the Surface Pro I and would NOT trade it even up for a SP3. My SPI has had NO factory defects and NO problems at all. Yes the battery life is fairly short but I only leave home for short periods anyway ( being retired ). I take it everywhere I go when there is a chance I might have to...

Cortana may be better on a Windows Phone but in Windows 10 on a desktop it sssssuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkkkkkssssssss. Absolutely worthless right now unless you are desperate to hear a joke 7th graders tell.

I did have AdBlock installed but I didn't have those tracking lists in IE 11 ---- but I do now. Thanks.

Mostly Firefox, but sometimes I run Internet Exploder. Dumped Chrome.

Hmmm, I haven't gotten any warnings here today either but I did the last two days. Strange. Perhaps the site owners caught whatever was triggering my Avast Premium.

Yesterday and again today, my virus program has been sounding an alarm and popping up a message that it has blocked a file from the Surface web pages. 3 times since I logged in that darn thing has gone off. I suspect someone may have hacked into the pages and planted a virus or two or three...

Any clips showing Cortana working well are FAKED. At this point it is < worthless >. Remains to be seen whether or not they will ever make it actually work. But, considering how poorly programs like Dragon Naturally Speaking are, I doubt it.

I < had > dropped the issue. I only posted in response to OTHERS who posted in the subject. :) I totally agree there is nothing to be gained by further posts, unless someone figures out how to make it work.

Well, I disagree. The tv goes into the waiting for mirror device screen and when I click on Project/ Dual Screen the tv responds and goes into mirror mode and the Surface screen appears --- nice and steady --- for a couple of seconds. Therefore the Surface MUST be sending a compatible signal or...

I have no intention of buying any kind of dongle / adapter. My Surface Pro is able to display the screen on the tv for a second or two which proves it DOES NOT NEED AN ADAPTER. If it needed an adapter it would never be able to show on the tv screen at all. Period. Since it can, and does...

Ahh, the Internet is a rough and tumble place. We stray from the original subject in a stream of conciousness parade of issues. :( Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa

Yep, I downloaded a utility from Intel that checks your system for drivers for Intel equipment and downloads and installs the latest drivers. Jumped through all those hoops. Latest video drivers, latest adapter drivers etc. etc. etc. I < suspect > it may be because Sony hasn't whitelisted...

Miracasting. That's the whole idea is to get away from cables. Also to not have to purchase a Microsoft adapter. Shouldn't be needed. I can get the screen of the Surface to mirror to the TV for a second or two and then the tv screen goes blank. It seems to think it < is > mirroring the Surface...

Well, this morning I got an update to Defender in W10. That is the only update I got. Mysteriously it fixed the broken Internet!!! After the update my connection went to 65Mpbs down and 20 Mbps up just like it should be and has been under W8.1. Yesterday evening it was 1-5 Mbps down and .4 Mbps...

The Windows Insider Release ISO is < not > the same as beta. I can probably get the betas from Technet, but I haven't been there since W8 came out. Betas are released for brave souls who are willing to take a chance that BAD THINGS MAY HAPPEN between public releases. I have done everything...

No, I didn't see that because it was labeled for SP3 and I have the SP1. And I'm installing W10 on a spare SSD in my desktop not on my Surface until it gets a lot closer to final release. However it has good instructions for dual booting. I've done that on several OS's but this time, this early...

So I would have to slow down my mouses pointer to try to get control of the touch panel,eh? Nah, I < like > a fast mouse pointer. The speed for me isn't the problem. It the fact it jumps all over the place. Just touch the touchpad the the cursor is liable to go clear across the screen. It is...

Title says it all. Wondering how / where to find out what the latest beta release is.

Everything I can find in Control Panel is about Touch for the < SCREEN > not the touchpad. There is an icon for Keyboard but it does not address the touchpad.
