Pardon me - but why is it "locked down" - is it a work PC on a network?

What precisely do you mean by "reversing the plug"? Also - does this only happen in your RV, or does it happen everywhere? I know that the electricity outlets in RV's can sometimes be 'finicky' if not properly grounded etc. Have you tested your outlets using a multi-meter checking for the...

I have to recant my comments about Lenovo - We recently purchased a Lenovo Carbon refurbished machine from Amazon.de and wow -that thing is an ultra-light beast of a machine. I am truly impressed - however - Lenovo still has some "not-so-good" PCs out there, but don't they all.

That's great news! Glad to hear it! Enjoy.

Let me ask a stupid set of questions here - 1) Which model of Surface Book are you using 2) Which version of Windows are you running? 3) Have you installed and ran the adobe cleaning tool? 4) Does this happen on ANY Other machine? 5) Have you ran it using the Compatibility Assistant? 6)...

Afy - I got my 15-inch, 1TB about 3-4 months ago, and I absolutely LOVE it. I also have the Surface Pro 4, i7 - and I use them both daily. I am really enjoying the 8th Gen Processor and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX-1060. I have installed Microsofts' Forza 7 Racing Game, maxed out the Graphics to...

Hello RIDDO - Welcome to the Microsoft Surface Forms - and Welcome to the Mircosoft Family! Much like you, I have used both and I prefer Windows and Microsoft Software and Machines. Congrats also on your new i7 Beast of a machine - I opted to 'treat' myself this time around to the maxed out...

I "treated" myself and have NO Regrets. As others have mentioned you can always opt for a USB Drive or depending on your internet bandwidth, you can of course "Cloud" larger files and folders - keeping your machine nice and neat. I partitioned my 1TB SSD as I tinker with Windows constantly which...

I have had this issue as well. I found that by default - OneDrive automatically takes over your "Pictures" folder as it assumes most people will want to save their Photos automatically. You might want to check to see if your OneDrive Application is set to "Automatically Save" photos and videos...

I am with JnRoach - I ALWAYS use the "Desktop Mode" and permanently disable the "Tablet Mode". Have you checked the registry? Use Win+R, then type in "Regedit" to enter editing the Registry The .reg files below will modify the DWORD in the registry key below...

You are NOT alone with it being "ages, since playing on the PC" - Once I got my SB2, I HAD to see just how good the NVIDIA 1060 was, so I did a little research and found that Forza 7 plays nicely with the SB2. Since I have installed Forza 7, my wife has been semi-widowed and my "to-do" list has...

Something I may have missed in your post - are you playing your game on the SB2 15-inch screen, or using perhaps an external monitor? Additionally, have you installed any aftermarket "Game-Mode" Software to experiment with? See the link below for some ideas on this..... I have the same specs...

I could not agree with GreyFox7 more. - There are so many choices out there regarding a Stylus - As for myself, I usually like to select a stylus that has more than one purpose. I ran across a stylus the other day that had a Pen, laser-pointer, phone holder & flashlight combo. Go-Go-Gadget...

I cannot of course speak for any other devices and the Surface Pen - But again - I have two very expensive Kitchen Magnets. Sure I can use them to click on items, scroll, select etc - But the FULL Functionality is lost. Whenever I hold down the Top Pen Button in an attempt to get the Pen to...

PLEASE BEWARE!!!!!!!!! In regards to your question - I have basically ruined 2 Surface Pens in an attempt(s) to "pair" them with a device they are not intended for. I put my Surface Pen into "pair" mode and tried to pair it with my Samsung Note 8. It would tell me its paired, but never worked...

Something to think about - It might or might not be part of the isses(s). Let me know what you think if time permits. Here's how much the Meltdown and Spectre fix hurt my Surface Book performance

I just did the Crystal Mark Test again after installing SSD Tweaker and playing around with it - Nothing good to report. I have been reading that a LOT of people are pretty upset about this whole slow SSD Performance Issue.

Just a quick question - Have you by chance reloaded the Windows 10 Pro Operating System on any of the machines? I would venture to say that it sounds as though you have a bit of corruption going on. Granted your issues are over a few month period - AND it took an outlandish time to complete an...

Here are some pics / a video. Please pardon the hasty pictures and video I made - I was kind of in a rush. These outdated Lenvo ThinkVision Monitors only had a 1920x1080 Max Resolution, but I have no doubt if I had a better set of monitors, my Surface Book 2 would have handled it I was able to...

I will get you some pictures / video this week - I was only able to adjust the resolutions of course to the max the Samsung Curve allows - As mentioned I used an aftermarket docking station and the USB-C out and all 3-4 monitors ran perfectly all day (8+Hours) with zero performance issues (No...
