Glad the SP4 is working out for you, especially with the small amount of disk space and memory. You obviously work off of an external USB disk drive. Just in case you're not aware of it, there are many clouds out there. Apple pushes their clouds, Microsoft offers OneDrive, which I use and there...

To prove if it's the pen, go to the Microsoft store or a friend that has a Surface and use the pen on another Surface in the same manner that you're having problems with.

I'm a tech and run into users having all kind of apps running that they aren't using but once and they leave them open & call me because their computer is running slow. For the life of me I don't understand why people don't close an app when they are finished using it. It's very easy to restart...

I've had one of these bags for almost 2 years now that I use for my SP3. I think it looks great and is good quality. I love my bag and am glad I invested a little more than normal for a good bag. Outback Solo Case for MacBook, iPad Pro, Surface Pro 4 – WaterField Designs

Sometimes it feels like everything about us is squirreled away all over the Internet to be dug up by those who like to & are good at mining. It's a crazy world of computers we live in today. Nothing surprises me any more when it comes to computers. I've seen just about all of the changes and...

If you don't want to reset, I'd take your Surface in to a Microsoft store with your extensive list of problems & demonstrate each one to their tech. You should make an appointment to show a tech your problems before you go to the store. If neither of those appeals to you, I'd just return it for...

Ditto on the Anniversary update.

If you're mean by "user", your profile, I'm not surprised since that "user" folder of your profile is open. If you have a lot of data in your document, picture, are video folders, you can move them to a micro SD module but I would unplug the module while your running the update. With such a...

None here. I imagine there will always be a small percentage that have a problem crop up with almost any update.

"No_Ax". I think you hit the nail on the head. Millions of users have installed the Anniversary update without issues. There will always be a small number of people that due to something unique on their computer, will have issues. Installing a new app, upgrading an app or an OS, installing new...

I've upgraded a couple new laptops without a hitch. It takes right at an hour to upgrade via the link below. Laptops would not update via the Settings\Update & Security. I think the only ones that will update via this method are Surfaces...

I did get mine upgraded. First thing I did was change to the easier on the eyes "Black Screen" in the Personalization setup. Since I had previously done the registry hack for a black theme, when I went to turn on the black theme it was already on. In addition to having an official black theme I...

I did manage to force a power down using both the power button and the volume down button. After getting it powered back on it says it is at 32% and not to shut off the computer. So many it will finish this time.

I have gone through the manual upgrade process this afternoon and it seemed to install OK but my Surface Pro 3 has been sitting for about 20 minutes now with the "circle the wagons" icon spinning near the bottom of the screen. I tried to force a power off with the top power button, but no luck...

Your first statement you made that after turning on your computer and you swipe the screen and than you get an error message about Office 365. The first thing that happens after turning on any Surface I've ever setup is that it asks for me to log in. Are you starting from a powered off position?

I don't use my pen in Excel but if I were you I would go ahead and do your free update to Office365/ Office 2016 so you have the latest and see if that helps.

I don't think that is surprising. After an upgrade there is a lot of things going on. I should be ok after the dust settles. Of course you immediately went to and ran updates didn't you. Sometimes all the updates aren't installed and you need to run updates after the upgrade.

I'm from Missouri, the Showme state. I would just download it and try it yourself. You can always uninstall it if it doesn't run well. I'd listen to other peoples opinions, but I would aways see for myself if something worked to my liking.

I noticed that you set your Edge settings\theme to dark. That is the only way to fly as far as I'm concerned. As I setup new computers for my clients, I always make that change in Edge for them. On my own computers, I did the registry hack so I could use dark in other places. I also always setup...

You must be using your system for some pretty serious business. If not, in my opinion you're being overly cautious & protective of your system and not allowing yourself to enjoy computing. Backing up important data is the most important thing anybody who creates data on a computer should do. I...
