    72Mbps, or Windows cannot detect network proxy settings

    First off, it's all my fault. My 5 Ghz band was working fine. Brand new Asus AC87-R router, 500+ Mbps. 2.5Ghz band only gets 72Mbps, but it's not an issue: 5Ghz is ROCKIN' And then I did it. I got suckered into buying minecraft for my 8 y/o. After an hour or so, he asked me to help him...

    Cant get my monitors just right.....

    I strongly suspect you won't be able to do what you're looking to do while using the SP3's screen. If you disable the SP3 screen it should cause the other two screens to go primary / extend. Ultimately in Windows it's Either mirror OR extend.

    Chrome Fixed on SP3?

    Where would you like to start? IE's massive list of exploits and vulnerabilities, or 3rd party privacy and safety addons that are supported by chrome? That's not to say I don't LIKE IE, especially the modern version. . . but the first rule of security is to avoid vulnerable software.... I...

    So long SP3 friends...

    More often than not the SP3 forum reminds me more of the macrumors forum than anything else. The ONLY difference is, people aren't ostricized, shunned, and bad mouthed for not liking the Surface as they would be if they made a single negative comment about a mac. What REALLY blows my mind is...

    My SP3 froze in a meeting

    I have spent enough time in IT to know the truth of this one: The single biggest cause of Operating system failure, REGARDLESS of the Operating system, is PEBKAC. I've never had any issues with gratuitous crashes on ANY operating system. This is not to say that I've never had any ISSUES, but...

    Turn Screen Off Without Sleeping?

    Link works now, thak you so much :) edit: Same system.dll error. Could it be a conflict between this and BatteryBar? [which I know I should uninstall, but was waiting to test drive yours before doing so]

    Turn Screen Off Without Sleeping?

    ou can try my software (beta release): http://www.nvgpupro.com/powermonitor/PowerMonitor_Setup.exe Wow, I'm really sorry I missed this. I guess I just assumed since this was the Surface pro 3 forum, the O/P was trying to do this with a surface pro 3, which has connected standby and does not...

    So...has the SP3 replaced your laptop?

    It gets "warm" at first. My "warm" is probably the equivalent to your "crazy hot". . . about 90c. After 15-20 minutes the CPU gradually settles into a comfortable throttle and it'll cool down to around 72c-ish. No noticable degradation in performance noticed while playing. And because this...

    4k and life span

    My work used to issue us Dells. I absolutely *HATED* them, would never buy one of their stripped down pieces of junk with overly marked up upgrade options. I do have to grudgingly admit though. . they both still RAN at the end of 7-8 years [both were used hand me downs] As for 4k, I haven't...

    Touch elements stop responding

    Now that you mention it, I think I've had it happen about 2-3 times in the last month [wow, it's been a month already??] I haven't had any issues since the first July firmware update [8th?]. I blamed this one (along with several other minor issues) on my type cover.

    White Horizontal Lines - Netflix

    I have issues with Netflix where it'll flash random huge white chunks in the video. Happens most often right after starting a video, but will occasionally pop one here and there. It's very inconsistent, and has persisted through a full reset. The strange thing is, it doesn't happen while...

    July 16 WiFi Firmware Update

    With Hyper-V disabled I don't get the limited issue. With it enabled, I get it every single time. 72/144 2.5/5Ghz. I wonder if it has something to do with the router chipsets, or if MS pushed several different patches to test several different possible fixes? The only other thing I can think...

    Best Solution To Connect Two 2560X1440 Displays To A Surface 3

    Maybe not, but it WOULD be the simplest, most efficient way to achieve your desired result. Every time you add another component to your setup [adapters, etc] you're adding another potential failure point and a dozen or so possible headaches due to hardware and adapter. . . personality quirks...

    SP2 Owners: Satisfied or Regret Upgrade to SP3

    Given that the windows activation key is embeded in the hardware, this SHOULD work. It may, however be less work than just reinstalling. . . depending on how tech savvy you are. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2421302,00.asp

    July 16 WiFi Firmware Update

    . . . http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC66R/ Works great with my desktop and both of our notebooks, and everyone's phone. . . heck, my desktop gets 544Mbps from the EXACT SAME LOCATION, and it's rockin' the incredibly mediocre intel 7260. Of course, i have SETTINGS I can tweak with that...

    This is somewhat frustrating. Ok, I had slow speeds on battery before, and even plugged in it was hit and miss. . but now I can only get 72Mbps and every time I wake the thing up...limited conn

    SP2 Owners: Satisfied or Regret Upgrade to SP3

    Completely subjective based on need. In my case, great decision as the larger screen makes the thing actually USABLE as a stand alone notebook. Heck, the stand alone makes the upgrade worth it for me. Coming from the SP2, I don't want to go back. However, if you're mostly docking it to...
