Just for reference, in the future you can pick up both battery types that the pen uses at Walgreens.

I'd also ask if the OS's are the same on the computers that are running web pages faster. I only use Edge. Isn't Chrome still slow on Windows 10? I don't seem to ever be waiting very long for new URL's to open in Edge.

I just installed Drawboard PDF from the Microsoft store free without a problem.

I was surprised that you mentioned screen saver was active. I looked to see how you could turn on a screensaver in Windows 10 and I see you need to go to Themes and advanced to see where you can turn it on. I'm surprised that it is still available since there hasn't been a need for a screensaver...

Ditto to what hughlle said. It doesn't happen all the time so I am happy to live with it. I have about 20 clients where I work that have Surfaces and I warn them ahead of time that if the external monitor doesn't display while you're booting to unplug and re-plug in the monitor cable from the...

If I liked my Surface a lot, I sure wouldn't return it because I need to use the power on/power off switch to power off my Surface. I suspect you must have some other things that have affected your decision to return it for a refund. Have you asked a tech at a Microsoft store to take a look at...

Are you saying that you power on your Surface when it's not plugged into the power adapter? Something is definitely wrong if it says the battery is at 99% charged and you power it on when on battery only.

I guess with that type of holder you would need to mount it to the side of the headboard rather the top of it.

Some interesting changes have come about with computers since I started servicing them 47 years ago. My first computer was a Radio Shack Model 1 with a cassette for storage. Nice story you wrote for us.

I had one of the systems I service have the same problem. I did everything including rebuilding it with no luck. I finally sent it in to Microsoft under warranty and they either fixed it or gave me a replacement. I didn't check serial numbers so I'm not sure which they did.

My boss bought about a half dozen Acer model 276HL (27") monitor for under $200 for the business I work for as a tech. I put one on my desk because I don't have very good vision. This monitor is great. It also has a much wider viewing angle than all of the other monitors he has purchased in the...

I take it you tried the usual of pressing the Enter key. Did you try shutting down and rebooting?

Sorry it took so long to respond. I've had a lot of calls lately. Yes I knew about the Dock updater. I've been applying it to all the new Surfaces I've when I set them up. Just had a call today. A lot of my clients take their Surfaces home with them and when they plug them back into the docking...

I setup new Surface's where I work. So far they have all been Surface Pro 3 with the newer docking station. Frequently after plugging everything in, the external monitor doesn't connect. Sometimes unplugging and reconnecting the monitor cable either to the dock or directly to the Surface gets it...

Amazing, I never heard whether or how mmo solved his mouse problem and two years later a new member. Jon Agg posts a reply saying he is having the same problem. Welcome to the forum Jon. Don't what to tell you, accept see if you can borrow another wireless mouse and try it. That divides the...

I went to the Microsoft Store and didn't find it, than I Googled for it and my first hit showed that it is at least a 7 year old program. So it works fine with Windows 10?

Ya. The first thing I would have tried is a different MicroSD, preferably a different brand name manufacturer. I've seen on this forum and experienced myself, all SD memory chips are not equally compatible to all hardware devices that implement them.

I only backup data files; not the whole computer.

Never used it. Never will. I consider it a novelty tool for my Surface. I'm old school. How much time does it take to key in a password or a pin number? Just like power windows. I sure wish mine had a crank because I know someday, probably during a rain storm, the motor isn't going to work to...
