Do you think it would be possible to execute this script when I press the button onto the top of the pen? That would make it really convenient!

Thanks for posting this. I will give it a try. I wish Microsoft would issue a fix for the palm rejection problems so we don't have to hack around the problem.

I know what you mean. A lot of times it's Windows Modules Installer Worker running an automatic update. Disable automatic updates to prevent this. Other times, Microsoft's anti virus runs when the tablet is idle - not much we can do about this. I did run a program for a while that would ding...

Yes. This backup method is "deprecated", but still works great. Follow this guide: http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-tip-use-system-image-backup

Windows 8.1 has a built in bit for bit backup utility that you can use to back up your Surface. Back it up to a USB hard drive or NAS, get a replacement from Microsoft, and reapply the backup on your replacement Surface.

Did Microsoft accept this as a hardware warranty issue? Are they sending you an advanced replacement Surface?

I think it's easy to use one 27in 4k monitor in place of 2 24in monitors - expecially if you use 150% scaling. I'm glad you're happy with the 4k Dell.

I'm having the same problems with my surface and Onenote 2013. Removing the pen battery sometimes fixes it for a while. Let me know if the calibration mentioned above works for you.

A co-worker purchased the 24" 4K Dell. It doesn't have a collage mode, so you'd still have to run at 50Hz SST. He also has the 27" 4K Dell and prefers it over the 24", because the 24" is cramped vertically due to being 16x9 instead of 16x10. The 16x9 27" 4K Dell is similar in height to a...

You might be able to. I guess the only way to know for sure is to try it... : ). The 4K's are really nice because of DPI scaling not being an issue, maybe you should get a couple of 4K's.

The main reason I purchased the 27" 4K monitor was for the DPI scaling to be the same between the Surface's screen and the monitor's screen. Windows chooses 150% DPI scaling for this monitor which is the same DPI scaling that the Surface's screen uses. No more scaling issues when docking /...

It is possible to drive two 4K monitors plus the Surface's screen by using the dock's mini display port and the Surface's mini display port at the same time. The Surface can't drive a 4K monitor at 60Hz, but it can at 50Hz with a custom resolution. Everything was pretty smooth, even at 50Hz...

The sound output device automatically switches when connected to the dock and vice-versa. The dock won't solve your multi-monitor scaling issues - you'll need to buy a high-DPI external monitor to completely alleviate scaling problems. I have a 27" Dell P2715Q 4K monitor attached to the...

I just bought the dock and received it today. My decision was based on the following: An extra charger for my desk costs $80 retail, so if you're going to get an extra charger anyway, the dock only cost $120 more. I got mine on Amazon for $165. Cables hanging off the Surface's connectors put...

I noticed this behavior after installing f.lux (screen tone program). It turns out that f.lux polls the screen every second or so and by doing so caused a frame to skip. F.lux has a "Safe Mode" option that doesn't do this. After turning that on, I haven't had any dropped frames. Look for...

Looking good. Let us know what display settings you end up using.

Try restoring the window so it's not maximized, then change the channel back and forth. Sometimes this gets it working for me. You can maximize the program after it starts working. An alternative is to install HDHomeRun VIEW (their new beta player) or HDHomeRun QuickTV. The downside is that...

Interesting, I was just thinking about 3d printing my own pen holder and ran across this thread. If I do end up making one, I'll post it here.

I just installed the update. No issues so far. Update - here's the official changelog: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/install-update-activate/pro-3-update-history January 2015 updates The following updates will be listed as “System Firmware Update – 1/15/2015” when you view...

With the new January 15 firmware update there is an option in the wi-fi driver settings to specify 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz bands to connect to. See this blog link for more info: http://blogs.msmvps.com/connectedhome/2015/01/15/specify-2-4-or-5-ghz-wifi-bands-on-surface-pro-3/ Specify 2.4 or 5 GHz WiFi...
