The problem is by default files moved to your OneDrive folder are stored locally and kept sync'd with the versions online. This way they can be accessed even if you have no internet connection. But they take up space on you SSD. You can right click on any OneDrive folder and pick Choose OneDrive...

Are your USB drives formatted as fat32?

I groan when they want me to run my PowerPoint presentation on another computer because I know the fonts and animation run right on my machine and I've seen many presentations that don't work right when run on other, sometimes older computers. That's why I got a mDP-to-VGA adapter. One tip, you...

Yeah, the keyboard needs some driver loaded during UEFI so it can be used on BIOS settings. If the firmware screws that up I don't think anything can in-do a firmware change.

Glad that was it and not something more difficult. Windows has quirks such as "Play key sounds as I type" is under Settings/Devices/Typing whereas "Toggle Keys" which plays a tone when you switch on Cap Lock is under Ease of Access. And starting with Win8 and now 10 most settings are now in...

If your running Win10 go to Settings/Ease of Access/Keyboard and then turn "Hear a tone when you press Cap Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock" off.

I agree with @bluegrass . Resting may fix your problems, or tell you it's your hardware and not the software. At an MS store they may reset it with Win10 off their USB drive (they did that for me when they gave me a new (refurbed) SP3 when firmware update killed the keyboard). Was a little...

That didn't work for me. If you notice, when the guy in the video boots to the UEFI (what he calls BIOS) he uses the keyboard to arrow down to Exit and hits Enter. Well in my case the keyboard wouldn't work there either. That's one reason why I believe my problem was with the firmware and not...

I've had no (apparent) problems with the 8/1/16 firmware update, other than it "Successfully installed" twice.

For me Win10 AU gave me back the top button. I'm using the SP4 pen on my SP3 and I've not been able to get the Surface app to have the options for setting the function on the top button (had it once briefly with SP3 pen drivers but then it disappeared with SP4 pen drivers) despite repeated...

This article How to install Microsoft Edge browser extensions seems to imply they should be available in Asia.

I was before Win10 was released, but not since. I preferred stable to surprises.

No popup bug. My upgrade went fine and everything is working as advertised.

Foxit Reader is a great PDF reader that has full features for writing, typing, signing and even applying stamps to pdf files.

Just upgraded to Win10 AU and am glad for your link to re-install Journal. I don't actually use it (use OneNote), but like having it.

Mine seemed stuck at 23% so I yanked the mSD card out (that caused it getting stuck during resetting OS). Several seconds later it rebooted and continued with the update. Coincidence? Now I've got 2 empty Pictures, Video and Music folder. Had this before with resetting with mSD card out (those...

I had this problem, my keyboard worked on other Surfaces, their keyboards wouldn't work on mine. I did a restore and it didn't help (I think it was a firmware update malfunction). Took it to a Microsoft store (since I had the extended warrantee) and they tried my keyboard on other Surfaces and...

Yes, it was posted by @jnjroach and it works great! How to lessen the Edge crashes and make your browsing smoother. Using the HOST File method of Ad Blocking with a slight change to the Registry and now Edge works very fast with no Display Crashes on HTML5 Video Ads (like this site)...

Yes, I do.

I'm not an IT guy (and maybe they can chime in with a "how to") but I think copying over a system backup is just asking for trouble. I'd reinstall all programs. That said, if you didn't know, in Settings/Accounts/Sync Your Settings you can have a lot of settings and customizations automatically...
