The tool from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3166746 will disable hibernation. This took a while to find out ... I guess, it is a bug. The surface will stay in connected standby forever until you wake it up again. Also, when you have enabled hibernation options for the power button, it...

Maybe, I misunderstand your post. To me it still doesn't look, like it was controlled by an accelerometer. Your experiment: Change the angle between keyboard and screen. When > 180 degrees, keyboard stops working. My experiment: Keep the angle between the screen and the keyboard at about 100...

If you detect the folding position by direction of the gravity force, wouldn't the type cover stop working up side down or in other strange positions (not folded back)? But it doesn't stop working here ...

Maybe, I don't understand accelerometer... Acceleration is of course also detectable in space. Just the acceleration by gravity you feel on earth is missing, typically. OTOH, I can't see, how an accelerometer can reliably detect, how the cover is folded back. Some sort of sensor or switch, that...

The same happens here (on Windows 8.1). There seems to be a second profile, however. It works only after logging off and logging on again. Then it switches automatically from 200% to 100% her, when docked (I don't use extended Screen, only external) and back to 200% when undocked. I fear, there...

Sharpcolorado, I too think, that this looks really great. Was it difficult and/or tedious, to get the skins attached? I wonder, if these skins can be bought in Germany (without long shipping times or high shipping costs)? Is stickerboy.net only the distributor or is actually the manufacturer...

My problem with the sound over the mini display port of the docking (with HDMI-adaptor) disappeared now. I used system restore to the restore point before the firmware update. The sound worked again. I got curious, and reapplied the firmware update – audio is still working. Also the critical...

On my SP3 i5 running Win8.1 after applying the firmware update, the Audio stopped working on the monitor connected over a mini display port to HDMI Adapter connected to the docking station. In the event log I get critical errors: I’ll show the original German phrasing and my own translation...

Was this update withdrawn? I saw it yesterday and the day before yesterday, but after all those issues reported here, wanted to wait a little bit. Today, after reading the remaining posts in this thread, I decided to apply the update, but now I don't see it anymore ...

When talking about hibernation: can really a bluetooth device wake up the SP3? In the bag situation I mentioned, it really was connected standby. However, I had no paired bluetooth device with me. I will check those later Same here - I have never seen anything interesting, just the number...

I had seen this as well a couple of times, last time yesterday. I have setup my surface to allow hibernation from the power menu (by some registry hack). In general both hibernation and connected standby work well. Here is a pasted snippet of powercfg /batteryreport <<<< 23:35:16 Active...

@GreyFox7, what your are describing is almost identical to what I was describing. Do you have any suspicion, about the cause. Any specific update, that might be the source of the issue? Or do you rahter suspect your environment? I am personally not aware, what specifically might have caused...

Same here. Disconnect and reconnect seems always to help. I never had to do this some months ago, however. No obvious change in my envirnment since then.

I have my SP3 since December 2014. At that time, I started to lurk here and I saw several threads about WIFI connectivity issues. I was happy to not see any such issues myself. (However, I was and still am a bit dissapointed about network speed with WIFI and rather high CPU usage, when...

Dell and Lenovo Notebooks I use have some sort of "battery care mode", where they typically don't keep the charge at 100% when plugged in. When I read the information about it, it told me, that this will extend the lifetime of the battery. Is there a similar mode for the SP3? From my...

I believe, I have set it up correctly. In Basecamp I have set diplay quality to highest (I have a German version, so not sure, what the settings are called in the English version). It looks to me like one of those high dpi scaling issues with certain desktop programs. There are dozens of...

I use Garmin Basecamp on Surface Pro 3 for planning cycling tours. It works, but unfortunately it doesn't look too good. I.e. text looks well in the navigation and control elements, but seems blurry inside the map. The map itself looks worse than on a Dell Notebook with Full HD resolution...

Jnroach, not sure, if your question is aimed at the OP or at me. I use the original MS drivers (from memory: Nov. 2014).

Wouldn't that mean, that the update won't be reported as successful. However OP said it is reported as successful. On my SP3, the Systemhardwareupdate 10.03.2015 was applied 3 times, each time successful. Systemfirmwareupdate 15.01.2015 was applied 5 times. Others have reported similar numbers...

About a week ago, the web site of some German computer magazines had an article of how to get rid of the GWX.exe (Get Windows X=10) http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Windows-10-Downloader-Tipps-zur-Deinstallation-2596770.html Maybe, you can use a translation service to read it. Summary...
