    I thought SB used the base battery first?

    It does, but not exclusively. The base battery will drain down to some partial level first, then the clipboard battery will join in. "Currently", my base is at 67% capacity, and my clipboard is at 97%. I'm not sure what the turnover point is, and I suspect it's a sharing of the load at that point.

    Solved Touchpad SO finicky

    That's it. I checked it out on Edge, and find scrolling much smoother and controllable. I might switch everything to Edge until Mozilla gets Firefox straightened out. Thanks again.

    Solved Touchpad SO finicky

    I'm using Firefox. Just reading around, it seems a lot of people have the same "zooming" problem.

    Solved Touchpad SO finicky

    Even with matching settings, I still get unpredictable pinch/zooming. Can that be set to a lower sensitivity somewhere?

    Solved Touchpad SO finicky

    Thanks. I'm running the same on a WB i5/8/256. The scrolling seems to have a delay before moving, especially the upon first touch. I'm guessing that's the nature of the device, though. The real problem seems to be that the two-finger scrolling switches into pinch-to-zoom all too easily, and...

    Solved Touchpad SO finicky

    Yes, the same frustrating problem. I go from no response to zooming past the target in the blink of an eye.

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    ABswl13, No. It seems that I can't open it from the modern ui either, though I can from tablet mode on the desktop, as can you. The only suggestion I can offer is to pin 2016 to your taskbar, which should save you a click. Or you can just tap the icon on the taskbar and skip the pen top, if...

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    Yes, it opens up under Tablet mode, and also with the clipboard detached. I have OneNote 2016 installed on my taskbar, along with things like Firefox, Word, etc. As far as I can tell, that's the only place it resides in my computer, that it's not a link to another location. If you can find...

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    OK, now I understand. My app opens up directly, and I could only speculate why yours doesn't. Wish I had an answer. Perhaps it has something to do with the location of your app, or whether it was open when you first assigned it? Neither seems likely, but who knows?

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    Yes, it is possible to get OneNote 2016 to open from the pen button. I have it set up that way now. I downloaded the "Surface app", which has a pen setup option available. Within the "pen" window, choose which clicking option you want, e.g. one click, etc. Choose "launch a desktop app', then...

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    Thanks. That's essentially what I did, and it freed up the frozen buttons. Upon opening the Surface - Pen - settings, my selected button function was gone, and I had to reestablish a connection with my OneNote acct, but now all is well. I think I'll wait til I hear that connecting to...

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    Search doesn't work, either, but I think it was "OSPPREARM.EXE", the only one that came up for me. Any idea how to uninstall the Surface app when I can't open the Tiles or do a search? I can't find the utility in file mgr.

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    Also, after the Surface update, I can no longer open up the settings, either from the right. Something's not right with the update, it seems.

    Finally, Pen Customization!!!

    Ok... I installed the Surface app update, found that OneNote 2016 won't open, and now my windows button (keyboard or screen) won't open. Reboot, etc. were no help. Any ideas? Resolved! Holding down the power button for 45 seconds, rebooting un-froze the buttons. Resyncing with OneNote...

    Any Plans for Office Lens for Surface Book?

    Office lens allows you to take oblique pictures of documents and whiteboards and automatically squares them up and cleans them up. Also sends them right to your One Note.

    Any Plans for Office Lens for Surface Book?

    Office Lens is very useful, but I have to pull out my iphone and use that to capture a shot for my surface book. It would be much smoother to enable the app for SB itself. Any plans in the works?

    Can we scale RDP session on Surface Book? Mine goes 100%

    I've been using Team Viewer since SB's release with no problems.

    Firmware Update 2 Dec

    I updated my SB i5/8/256 a few days ago and now I'm getting screen lockups upon wakeup. This issue had disappeared with the previous update, but resumed with the most recent one. Also, whenever I undock the tablet and redock, I get a popup window of my SD drive, which needs to be closed. Has...

    SB Car Charger

    I had the same question, but figured that any charger that worked for SP3 or SP4 would also work for SB. I know it's true of brick chargers and docks. Remember that SB charges on 12 v, so USB port charging (5 v) won't work.

    After last update touchpad doesn't work?

    I had a similar problem. Couldn't find a setting to change, and a reboot didn't help. What did seem to clear it up was using the scroll buttons. Once I did, the touchpad was fine.
