    Screen stays black after update...

    The plot thickens: Windows Update KB3035131 (Windows 8.1 for this post) I also have Startisback, which apparently gets blocked by the security update since it modifies explorer.exe. The update for SIB supposedly fixes it

    Screen stays black after update...

    I was just able to fix it!!!! No wiping necessary. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2316102/windows-stuck-black-screen-cursor-login.html So follow what Conquerz says and get into Control Panel to uninstall updates. I did not find KB3035131 but I did find KB3035132 and uninstalled that...

    Screen stays black after update...

    Same thing happened with me, did some Windows updates and then now it is a black screen after boot. Explorer.exe isn’t working for me and it just stays black. Unbelievable. I have multiple W8.1 systems and my Spro3 is the only one that gives me such a hard time with getting into the damn...

    IE 11 is hands down the best browser for SP3

    Anyone running Gmail on IE11 have issues with "touch enabled" not showing up? Is there a way to uninstall IE11 and reinstall?

    Surface Pro 2 - i5, 4GB, 128SSD in excellent condition with original boxes

    Upgraded to a Pro 3 and looking to sell an excellent condition Surface Pro 2, i5, 4GB, 128SSD with purple Type Cover 2. The Pro 2 itself has VERY few signs of wear, maybe a touch here and there at the corners, but as shown in the pictures, this has seen little use "outside". It was mostly used...

    SP2 to SP3, would imaging work?

    Very happy to report that the imaging was successful! Windows did a great job at porting everything over. The only thing that needed a manual installation was the ethernet adapter, windows capacitive button, and something else. All my programs work perfectly except for one that needed...

    SP2 to SP3, would imaging work?

    I finally caved and ordered a SP3 and currently have a SP2. Instead of dealing with installing all my programs over, I was thinking I could just image the SP2 drive into the SP3 since the hardware is pretty similar. Only thing different is the Ntrig pen I believe. Am I missing any other...

    THE SURFACE PRO 2 GAMING THREAD PICTURES and VIDEOS

    Not sure what causes this.. happens only on some maps in SC2 with my SP2 128/4. Ram usage seems to be around 75% and even when using low textures it still happens. Tried enabling v-sync, didn't solve the problem.

    IE11 with no other options-- My biggest gripe

    Interface-wise, it seems to work the best on the SP2. But it's the consistency and amount of quirks that is very annoying, where I find Chrome and Firefox to be very consistent (reliable!). IE is inconsistent with opening with my previous tabs open or a new session, behavior on websites (yahoo...

    IE11 with no other options-- My biggest gripe

    So far looks like Aurora is a winner! Doesn't feel as responsible and smooth as IE11 but probably the closest to being a capable W8 browser. Only catch with Aurora is that Gmail doesn't detect it as a touch-screen browser, so the option for a touch interface isn't there. Canary doesnt seem to...

    IE11 with no other options-- My biggest gripe

    I noticed that I started using my SP2 less not because of the whole firmware update, but because IE11 has been seemingly become more and more inconsistent with many websites. The one thing I don't understand is that aside from a few half-ass addons, Firefox and Chrome are completely unusable...

    Latest Firmware - Battery Weirdness!

    Count me in for battery weirdness as well along with closing the lid problems. Battery is at 10% and won't charge above that (shows plugged in but not charging). Strangely, the battery doesnt seem to be going below 10% either and shows no remaining battery estimate.

    128 GB Surface Pro Memory Problems

    I get the memory low notification on both SC2 and D3 and I have a 128/4gb. When monitoring it in windowed mode, it appears that the warning comes in around 65-70% of total memory usage, with the game taking up about 1.25GB of ram during the warning. Hasn't affected anything, but I sure wish the...

    Gaming Benchmarks

    I figured this would make a good first post. SC2 HOTS on my 4 hour old surface. On a 4V4 match replay, the fps was about 17-25 fps with medium settings at 900p.
