    Pen to digitizer sensivity

    Have you downloaded the Surface app from the MS store? I has a setting to adjust pen sensitivity.

    What if Microsoft had waited?

    If the first group to test it are the canaries, then we must be pigeons.

    Screen wakeup

    I have those settings too and it never does go to sleep while plugged in until I want to have it sleep. But whether I use Start Menu/Power/Sleep or push the power button or close the type cover (have those set to go to sleep for both plugged in and on battery) it often pops back on again after a...

    Really slow SSD access

    Yes, I get this too. But I didn't think it was specifically a SSD access problem per se. I had thought it might be an issue with searching for places to save involving OneDrive and/or waking up my several USB hub attached HDs (I practically never do work involving saving files when I have it...

    Screen wakeup

    After about the 4th or 5th time I pushed power button to put it into sleep it wouldn't wake without forcing shutdown by holding power button for > 20 seconds and then re-booting. So it seems unchecking Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power in USB Root Hub (xHCI) doesn't fix that.

    Screen wakeup

    I only occasionally had the problem you describe (sometimes hard to get it to wake with one push of power button) but I also have a problem when it's plugged into a USB hub with several HDs and stuff, if I push the power button which is set to have it sleep, it's sleep for a minute and then come...

    Solved Restart loop

    Also remove the mSD card. That has caused it to get stuck during resets for me and others.

    Best reading program?

    Drawboard PDF seems to be most people's favorite, but it's $9.99. For free Foxit is good. If you're fine importing PDFs into OneNote, OneNote has many useful features you're not likely to find in any PDF reader such as storage of the files on OneDrive so they can be accessed by other devices...

    Best reading program?

    The answer to this may depend on what file format your books or text are in; pdf? epub? mobi?

    Surface Pro 4 Signature Type Cover - New

    I looked at one at a MS store last weekend. The outer side was soft and beautiful but I felt the type side looks and feels like cardboard. That plus no finger print reader makes it a no go for me.:(

    Thinking of upgrading my SP3 to SP4 - a few questions...

    It would be nice to hope MS would learn and make sure all the bugs were worked out before they released a product, but no... I expect the same or perhaps new bugs, but what I meant was you should spend your money to get significant hardware upgrades and as @hughlle said other than a larger...

    Thinking of upgrading my SP3 to SP4 - a few questions...

    In my experience with 2 SP3s it was yes to all 4 issues at times in the past, but not so much now. Updates have fixed some things, but broke others. I did several resets with my last SP3 and I'm convinced that sometimes Windows gets everything installed right and it works, and sometimes not...

    Pen intermittently not working?

    Hope I never have to go through this, but thanks for the clear instructions and good photos.

    Do you have a mSD card in the slot? (if so remove it and try again)

    Survey from Microsoft Consumer Panel

    The key point is what is the actual url when you hover the mouse cursor over the link "Click her to ..." and what is the real return address on the email's properties, not the from field. BTW, are you in Finland?

    Travelling to USA from UK with SP4

    The Surface transformer should say on in Input 100-240V 1A 50-60Hz. You just need a plug adapter to convert the 3 pin plug used in the UK to the 2 pin plugs we use on this side of the pond. And don't worry about no MS store where you're going, Best Buy and Staples also sell Surfaces and...

    Automatic Repair BSOD Loop Cannot Boot From USB

    On that YouTube page after the video you posted, there's a video showing a fix for that problem by pressing F11 repeatedly right after power button to enter Windows Recovery. Did you try that? Also, this is for Surface Pro so I'm not 100% sure it's the same for Surface RT or 2 but the USB has to...

    Mirror display to Amazon FireTV stick

    I would have answered that it works on mine, but I just tried it and it didn't work. Connect from the Notification bar didn't see it, In Settings/Devices it was listed (because it worked before) so I removed it to re-install and it wont re-install. I wonder did a Windows Update screw with it?
