Anyone having issues with the latest Firmware Update of 5/19/15 on their SP2? I see some folks with the SP3 are having issues, but I'm in the SP2 club. Before installing these firmware updates I always like to see if any issues are going on. Thanks in advance.

I have to keep installing that particular Jan 2015 update as well. When we had the rather large number of updates recently, there it was again, saying it needed to be installed. I've installed it probably 5 times now. And yes, I attach the keyboard to my SP2 each time I do these updates. I...

Thanks for the update, strongly considering purchasing that keyboard. But curious, why would you have not installed the drivers or software? Is that because you're using it with Windows 10?

So how did you like the K810? Do you get any crazy jumping around issues?

Thanks.....I guess I'll try and add it one more time for the hat trick.

Anyone else continue to have to load the 7/8/14 System Hardware Update? According to the update history report, I have "successfully installed" this update twice, and yet it is appearing again in my list of updates to do. What is the deal with that?

Good deal.....might go that route as well. This old clunky keyboard works great, but sure takes up major desk space....annoying....but, at least I can type without having to stop! I'll do a little more research on the K810 and might pull the trigger as well.

I'm struggling with the keyboard for my SP2 as well. Have been using the Type Cover with Bluetooth adapter since March and really having issues. The cursor jumps all over the place and lately when typing it will suddenly stop...freeze. I either have to move the cursor to another location to...

Well, the Type Cover (using the Bluetooth adapter) continues to be getting worse. Now, when typing, it will often just stop typing as if stuck. I have to move the cursor around to another area to start typing, or just wait a few seconds, and then it will start typing again. This is, of...

The last day or two the issue seems to have become a bit worse, so odd. I'm actually a reasonably good typist so I don't believe this is totally user error. I think I'm going to try the Logitech Bluetooth K810 and see if that helps. If it does, I'll just keep the Type Cover for when I'm using...

WOW.....you explained what mine is doing far better than I did. That entire block being deleted is sooooo annoying. Do you use the wireless adapter with the Type Cover or do you keep the Type Cover connected directly to your SP2?

Yes, always attached the keyboard when doing updates. So, if this is an issue with the OS, no need to spend money on a new Bluetooth keyboard, huh? I tried to swipe from the sides and it doesn't seem to work via the adapter. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

FYI, apparently you can only disable the mouse touchpad if you have the keyboard connected to the SP2. I use the Type Cover almost exclusively with the wireless adapter and to turn off the touchpad mouse is not an option. So, I'm guessing my only option is to get a separate Bluetooth keyboard...

When typing on my SP2 using the Type Cover, the cursor will often either jump to another location and I'm suddenly typing in the middle of the previous paragraph or who knows where, or, it will highlight several lines and if I don't realize it quickly it deletes those lines with the next key...

Thanks.....will give that a try.

HA....yes, it ain't new, but it's a pretty decent size HD. I'll have to go look and see when I purchased it, maybe 4 or 5 years ago? I had purchased a 64gb flash drive from Best Buy yesterday for $30 and was going to use that to make a back up of my System Image, but apparently there are...

I've had my SP2 for about 7 months now, and decided to try and hook up a Maxtor OneTouch III external hard drive that I had with a prior computer. When I first plugged it in, I tried to load the software but it wasn't working exactly right and was unable to start the program once it supposedly...

I did finally do the firmware updates, but a couple of days after doing those a System Hardware Update 6/10/14 popped up. Any issues with that or is it a pretty safe update?

Well, it is VMware Player version 6.0.1. This is provided by my employer and so I will not be able to change the VM. I have complete control over what is in the Windows 8.1 part, but am limited to what I can change inside "the bubble" (the VM). Just odd that the touchscreen inside the VW was...

Okay.....did the Firmware upgrade this afternoon and so far I see no odd issues. However, I still have the same issue when I go into the Virtual Machine that uses Windows 7. The touch screen just sucks in that mode. Again, all is great when in the Windows 8.1 mode, but when not in the docking...
