    Solved I've Lost My On-Screen Keyboard

    Hit the Control+Windows+O button combination - OR - Go to Ease of Access Settings (Win+U) and check your Keyboard Settings there. Or hit Win+R and type in "OSK" (No Quotes) and hit enter. I realize this doesn't fix the lack of an Automatic Appearance - But take a look at the attached picture...

    momentarily freezing up with external mouse

    Have you attempted to use your Logitech Mouse with a different machine to see if it's possibly the mouse (Drivers, Software, Hardware) that might be causing this issue? Have you rebooted the machine after disconnecting it from your DOCK to see if the random freezing still continues? Have you...

    Power Button Not Following Power Settings

    Try this - Reset the Power Settings to Default - Then test your button / lid. Then go back and adjust each one under Change Advanced Power Settings. I have found that sometimes, Windows, especially after an update - will need a little coaxing to work correctly, and restoring the Default Power...

    SB2/Surface Dock - Max External Monitors Supported

    I have ran 4 including the built in screen. 3 without the built in screen. Works like a charm, but you will need an USB-C / HDMI adapter, and an aftermarket Docking station that utilizes a USB 3 slot. This one should work for you, but you will need a DVI - HDMI Adapter as well with this docking...

    Using 2 laptops

    I have tested and used all of the major brand names of Anti-Virus software. If you can avoid it, don't use the major brand names such as NortoN, or the murderous McAffe (LOL) - What they do is examine and monitor many of the computers processes and service, taking a machine running at 100MPh...

    SP4 will not connect to a specific wifi network

    Keep in mind that older routers (espeically 2.4Ghz only) are prone to interference from other devices (Home Phones, remotes, gaming devices etc). Perhaps manually changing the routers signal channel, or ensuring nothing is set up really close to the router might help. Since you can connect, but...

    SB2 low FPS during light gaming when connected to AC

    FT121 - Let me ask what might be a redundant question here - Are you using an external monitor, or the Surface Screen?

    Charging Challenge

    Something odd that happened to me with my Surface Pro 4 & Charger. I had the charger hooked up to the SP4 and everything was fine. I then decided to charge my nearly dead Note 8 using the SP4 USB port. When I did this, the charging icon would disappear / reappear in a constant cycle. I tried a...

    About to get SB2 13"-worried about coil whine!

    Your fine, and you are correct - I should have specified, I definitely see your point(s). I haven't had a chance to review the 13.5-inch model, but the 15-Inch is extremely quiet. I don't know if Microsoft will attempt to fix the 13.5-inch by patching it to adjust power levels, or perhaps a...

    New introduction and a OneDrive question

    Welcome Welcome to the Microsoft Surface Forums Camin. OneDrive can be slightly confusing - I recently assisted a small business that in order to save money, had purchased laptops with smaller Solid State Hard Drives. Upon linking OneDrive to their laptops - the OneDrive started downloading...

    About to get SB2 13"-worried about coil whine!

    My apologies as I can definitely see the gravity of specifying which actual model I am citing - especially in the event of someone contemplating investing a large stack hard earned Benjamin's. Honestly Wyand32 - I appreciate the correction as I would hate to steer someone in the wrong direction.

    Need a Hi Res Surface compatible monitor

    I see - I am sure you are aware that you can adjust the text size, per monitor within Windows 10. This adjustment can be done for just about everything within the Windows Display. Additionally when a second monitor is hooked up, you can adjust the text size for each monitor - I had to do this...

    Need a Hi Res Surface compatible monitor

    I see no-one touched your post and I can imagine why as there are just so many choices out there. I know that ASUS puts out a really good 4k monitor for gaming which is supposed to be super for high def and ultra settings. Of course a web check will render literally thousands of suggestions, but...
