    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Another thing I'm noticing is that the gamma settings under advanced seem to have a hard time sticking. I'll be working along, the screen will flicker and my gamma settings are back to default.

    I believe what you are experiencing is a classic case of projection. You are not experiencing fan issues along with some others in this forum's tiny and statistically insignificant sample and so you project your experience as "normal" while all others as "abnormal". It is clear that others...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Well, glad to hear at least 2 other users are having significant fan usage after being told repeatedly "something must be wrong with my computer". My fan runs close to constantly and goes full jet engine anytime I try holding it in tablet mode. Fan basically never runs in 8.1 unless I'm...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Don't know what it is about these builds. The longer I use them the more they seem to slow down. My entire system us crawling this morning. Chrome was initially very fast with this build and updates. Now it is slower than ever.

    Windows 10 coding question guys. Right now when automating emails from my Access Database using Visual Basic. I'm using the following to create a new instance of Outlook 2007 (i.e., 12): Set objOutlook = New Outlook.Application Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem) Does anyone...

    Don't see how including an app for the world's most popular game is going to hurt MS here. :-)

    One man's junkware (Candy Crush) is another man's raison d'etre. :) CC is my absolute favorite colossal waste of time and mental stimulation whilst on the can.

    Getting weird Word 2007 error every time I open a mailmerge document: Any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it? Do not have this issue under 8.1. The Word document does have some code behind it it compiles properly with no errors. **UPDATE: Ok, figured it out. Was some innocuous...

    Seems like Application Frame Host and ShellExperienceHost are really grinding when my fan blows.

    I get basically zero fan in W8.1.

    Didn't think it was possible but my fan is blowing even harder now after last update. I'm starting to wonder if John Deere has the fan license on these bad boys?

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    My fan now plays the Star Spangled Banner when in full leaf-blower mode after the update. Considering MS is an international company, I find this somewhat jingoistic.

    I just got something which installed automatically when I restarted. No idea what it did.

    Wait a minute. Aren't test pilots supposed to get a sexy girlfriend and cool flight suit? Leggy blonde and size 48L please. Thanks.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Hmmm, doubt the fan issue is hardware related as the fan doesn't run under 8.1. It gets going pretty good under W10 even when there are no apparent processes churning the CPU. Who knows? This was a completely clean W10 install. Maybe W10 taxes some defective hardware that W8.1 doesn't...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    The one operational thing which confounds me on W10 is the constant fan. In W8.1 my fan rarely blows. In W10 it blows pretty much constantly and in general runs hotter (especially in tablet mode which is pretty much the exact opposite of what a user wants). I wonder if this is something MS is...

    One thing I don't get about Project Spartan. Compare Spartan side by side with Chrome and the Spartan font-smoothing is weak at best. Here I am on my super high res screen and fonts are pixelated. How MS? How is this possible you put out your new flagship browser and don't even bother...

    No one seems to be making much noise about the new update. After running it, Chrome is now lightning fast with no mouse issues. Apps also load very quickly and the boot time is faster.

    Just got a W10 update. After install Chrome seems much happier.
