I have never encountered this issue - however, sometimes uninstalling / re-installing the Surface Pro 4 drivers will take care of a vast array of issues. Use the link below to download the latest drivers and uninstall then reboot, the reinstall, then reboot. I hope this helps you even though its...

I was an strong advocate for the Surface Pro 4 until about 15 days ago. I go to turn my machine on and the "Surface Logo" is flickering. Grrreat!!!!!!! So once I am logged into Windows 10, its flickering even worse. I hook it up to an external monitor and there is NO FLICKERING!!! Woot-Woot...

One thing you may want to check to see if your Video Card might be failing is - Hook it up via HDMI and if it fails after 5+ minutes of use on an external monitor / TV - You might own a failing video card. This is whats happened with mine, and I am currently working through a replacement with...

In regards to my previous posting about my SP4, warranty, Microsoft Support, and it failing at slightly less than a year old. I won't be buying anything Microsoft puts out again. I won't go into my licensing for MS - I will however definately never buy a Surface Pro or anything Microsoft has to...

After 1 year and 11 days past the warranty - My SP4 has horrible flickering issues. Additionally, whenever I hook up an HDMI cable the picture fails after about 5 minutes of use. So - I call Microsoft Support and they are more than happy to point out it has passed the warranty date. However...

You can keep Norton - and welcome yourself to the Rhelm of Slow running PC's - I won't drag out my resume, but I have been repairing, working on PC's both for the government and the private sector for 25+ years. Norton kills computers, end of discussion. Don't believe me. just do a search for...

Hello DoubleFelix - Do you by chance have the "Surface" application downloaded? Have you by chance attempted to adjust the sensitivity from there? I agree with SharpUser that each program may have it's own sensitivity / pen setting built in - BUT in the chance that is does not have one built in...

You can use MS Word - There is so much functionality within Word - Most folks don't realize it's versatility. However if you are wanting something more "Artsy" - I use Sketchbook Pro - You can download a trial version. I went ahead and paid for a 5 year subscription as I use my SP4 for drawing...

Same here - NO issues with MS Edge and the MS Surface (this) Forum. Loads right up. As a fail safe you can always do a reset of your IE / Edge from the IE settings in the Control Panel. Another thing you might try is using a program like CCleaner to clean out your cookies, typed pages, etc. I...

The good thing about almost all computers released in the last decade is that they are auto-voltage / multi-voltage. The best bet is to ALWAYS examine the device specification's to ensure it is multi-voltage / auto-voltage, prior to plugging it in. I have used my SP4 in my automobile with a...

As other's have mentioned - it depends on which browser you are utilizing. Facebook, while used in a browser, does not have an auto-correct feature built in - this feature, as previously stated, is built into your browser. Take a look at this link and also at the picture I have enclosed. Hope...

I agree with Sharpuser on this one - The Urban Armor Case or the OtterBox Case will fit your needs perfectly - Granted they cost a little more - they are WELL worth the money considering the price of a SP4. Additionally - given that your line of work might be a little tough on a Surface - the...

Been using it for almost 48 hours with very little power drain while in sleep mode - SP4 boots up wthin seconds. Better later then never I guess. Only a year+ late. Way to go Microsoft.

Understanding that if you paid a price for something, you want it to work as it should. Have you attempted to turn the icon off / on to see if this clears the issue up? Check here ( Fix: Battery Icon Missing From Windows 10/8/7 Taskbar ) to find instructions on how to turn on / off the icon...

I was able to find a little bit about the January 18th, 2017 Firmware update. Here is the link........ Microsoft Surface Pro 4 update history | Surface firmware updates Most interesting for me is............... Microsoft Driver update for Surface Integration Service Device Surface Integration...

Otterbox sells a pretty sweet case for the SP4 - I bought one for around $200 and I love it - As always Otterbox sells a very robust case. I use them on all my phones and now my SP4 - No regrets.

I could sit here and shoot holes in Phil's thought process - but I cannot seem to find a reason to completely disagree with it. If after a fresh reinstall / driver update my machine continued to "freeze up" whatsoever - I would comply with Phil's final recommendation and get it replaced...

Yeah, those are slow results for sure. Have you checked your hard drive disk drivers? Tried perhaps uninstalling / reinstalling them? Stupid question here - but have you checked the benchmark results online with other M3s? If so, what did you find out? Considering non-SSDs run at a max of 95Mbs...

Above all make sure your format your USB drive to Fat32 when using Rufus to rip your Windows 10 .iso or the Surface Pro 4 won't recognize it at all. Anyhow - the best of luck to you and please let me know if you need any assistance at all as I have successfully reloaded my SP4 numerous times.

I have to agree with Philtastic - Reloading your system might be in order at this point. Its a simple process and I'd be glad to assist you with it. You can simply back up your data using any type of solution you prefer, reload Windows - then see if your issue(s) persist. It could be a hardware...
