You do know you can stop Windows Update if you are running Win 10 Pro? Simple. This works for me. Press Windows key + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit Enter. Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update Locate the Configure Automatic Updates policy on...

IMO Microsoft fan boys are happy to accept mediocrity - as evidenced by comments on the site and this subject - of both the products that Microsoft markets and the service (or lack thereof ) that Microsoft provides. Well I for one am not. That is why I am moving to a different platform. eg: If...

I am sorry to hear you dropped your SP3 and cracked the screen. What a bummer. Hope the Microsoft Complete comes thru. I remember dropping my Samsung Galaxy S3 a few weeks after buying it and breaking the screen. With no insurance of any description it cost me $250 to have it repaired. So I feel...

I do not have any HP printers any more. Got rid of them a long while a go. I now use Epson Printers. So, no HP printers, no HP app and no, I do not have a clue what you are talking about. It might work for you but it certainly is not going to work for me. Perhaps it might help if you were a bit...

Well I am a normod. I know nothing about computers or computing. I have two Win 7 computers which I have not upgraded to Win 10 because they have Win Media Centre installed which I use regularly. This feature is not on Win 10 so why should I DOWNGRADE to Win 10. Also I have not...

Looks great @sharpcolorado :D

I agree with you. In fact I have been saying this for months on another forum. Apparently the mods did not like my continued criticism of the programmers/software engineers at Microsoft and banned me from the forum. So if you are on a Windows specific forum and you do not agree with what...

According to my calendar Week 45 started 1st November 2015.

I do not have an Sp4 so can not speak about that device. But with my Sp3 Bitlocker was enabled out of the box. As I know nothing about bitlocker and as I am not interested in encrypting my Sp3 I turned it off as soon as I had finished setting it up.

@Carolv(op) Perhaps try this. Go to Microsoft.com on your browser. Sign in with your user name and password. When you are signed in click on you name (top right of page) and then click on "View Account". You should then be able to edit your user name and password. I hope this helps you. If not...

Was that an intended (pun) @ sharpcolorado. I had a good laugh.

The writer of that article is obviously an Apple fan boy. Or on Apple's payroll. A very biased article imho. I just can not see how the iPad Pro can be a better buy than a Surface Pro 4.

Release in Australia is 12:00pm on 12th November 2015 which is to coincide with the opening of the new Microsoft Store in Sydney Australia which is the first store to be opened outside of North America/Canada I believe.

Given all the problems with this machine my only advice is to return your SB to the place of purchase for either a full refund or exchange. I would suggest a full refund. Then wait until late January or February next year to purchase an other machine. By then, hopefully, Microsoft MAY have...

Well, my SP3, keyboard and dock are still under warranty until the end of 2016 so no I will not be updating anything. Will leave things as they are until the warranty runs out. As they say "if it ain't broke why fix it."

The reason companies fight each other for the lowest price point is because that is what consumers want. They want to purchase goods, products etc at the cheapest possible price. Most people are not interested in the top of the line product. They just want something cheap and when it breaks down...

I am not an expert here. Far from it. I think the first thing you need to do is some thorough research. I have watched the launch of this product with Panos Panay as well as reading forums and reviews. It does appear that this device is Not a gaming machine. It is good for light casual gaming...

Not me. Far too expensive. Here in Australia the 950 has a price of A$1099 and the 950XL is listed as A$1199. I can not see Microsoft selling to many with those exorbitant prices.

Well it would appear to me Mr Roach that you are more Grumpy than I am. You are also a pain in the neck with your attitude. I would certainly hate to work with (or for) you with that sort of attitude problem you have. How you became an Administrator on this site is beyond me.

Well Mr Roach I am sorry if I offended you. My apologies. But I think you are getting a bit pedantic when you say JN Roach is nowhere near your name. Geez I only left off one letter (j). I would have thought that was no big deal. Obviously I was wrong. Sorry
