Ok. So I started up this morning by pressing the power button and the surface logo appeared and all my apps were still open so it seems it can hibernate fine, it just doesn't like it from the menu... odd as other people say its fine for them, but it's easy enough to avoid I guess.

I thought it was meant to switch from Connected standby to hibernation after 4 hours or so, that is what I read...

VLC Metro doesn't have very good reviews on the store. I was going to install it as I like it on my other devices but it sounds like it needs more work.

4-5 hours mostly doing mainly web browsing, OneNote stuff, YouTube so not brilliant but it could be worse I guess.

Hmm, so the fact that both times I tried to use it froze my SP3 means I may have a problem? I'm loath to try it out again in case I can't get the Pro back afterwards, so I'm not really sure what to do to test it out. I'll see what happens in the morning after it's been asleep all night to see if...

Thank you. Well I tried it once more before taking it off the menu and it froze again and wouldn't startup and I had to use the volume up to turn it on, so I definitely won't be trying it again and it is now removed, so it does seem to be what caused the issue. I usually shut all my programs...

I've removed hibernate from my menu options now I won't be using that again. On a side note I've had no trouble waking it after it's been off overnight. I get the surface screen appear so I assume it's hibernated - maybe it's shutdown... how do I tell the difference? The only issue I have is if...

Thank you so much that worked :) I'm not sure why it happened, whether there's an issue with my hibernate or if it doesn't like using it from the menu or what. Very odd. Thank you so much guys

hi well I saw a few of you had hibernate on your power off menu so I looked up on google how to do it and used the group user window to add out to my menu. All good so far. Hibernate appears and I try it out. The screen goes black and now I can no longer get my surface to turn on. I've pressed...

I believe swipe the charm bar on from the right of the screen, choose settings, choose change PC settings at the bottom, choose PC and devices, choose mouse and touchpad and look under touchpad and turn Reverse scrolling direction on. I think that is what you are looking for, though haven't...

My windows button is hit and miss for waking the device, I just use the power button now.

So, looking at task manager today, I noticed that a lot of memory was being used and it was down to mainly one process called runtime broker. Does anyone know why this process is using so much memory? Is this normal? Many thanks, sorry I'm a bit of a windows newbie as I've used apple products...

Well unfortunately I think I'm outside the 14 days as I didn't notice the yellow line until I read about it here. I don't usually sell my tech on so that's not an issue for me either. I can't afford to upgrade often so usually run machines into the ground, so unless it's more than cosmetic I...

Mine is about the same as that picture but I worry that if I return mine i'll end up with one much worse or with other issues. So far mine is pretty good apart from that. No WiFi issues, no dead pixels, it has a little light bleed, interestingly enough near the yellow line maybe a coincidence...

Ouch it hurts my eyes to have it that bright... mine is usually 25 to 40 percent depending on what I'm doing.

Yes I have indexing checked.. On further investigation it seems writing in Metro and try searching straight away doesn't work for me. Exit and restart metro doesn't work still. Sync exit restart still doesn't work. Open desktop OneNote and sync and close, now open metro and search works in...

Well I can only get it to work in the desktop version, it doesn't work in the metro one for me :( not sure why.

Oh dear I just ordered a 128gb San Disk card and it's been shipped :( I hope I don't have those issues as it was pretty expensive.

thanks guys, I just wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with my surface. I guess I'm just too used to devices with GPS. Thank you so much for your replies you guys are awesome :)

The current location is about a suburb away from where I actually am, so it's not a huge issue I guess, but my phone always picks up my actual suburb correctly. Maps will sometimes get it almost spot on, but AccuWeather and Facebook are often out by a suburb or two.
