    Can't Detach with OneDrive for Business Running

    My company just rolled out OneDrive for Business and I am in the beta testing group. I've found that I cannot detach my screen when running OneDrive for Business. I get a message to "Please resolve before detaching" that shows "GROOVE" (I think the sync app?) in all caps with the OneDrive...

    Can't Detach Screen - 'Calculator'

    I set excel to use nVidia because it crashes when using intel graphics (meaning I have to shut down excel to detach which I have been)

    Can't Detach Screen - 'Calculator'

    I rarely if ever use the built in calculator app in Windows. However 90% of the time I go to detach my screen it cannot because of the "Calculator" process running, which requires I open task manager and shut down the process which typically shows 0% CPU, 0% memory usage. Why does this...

    I think will work with one, but not two UHD monitors because with two you are limited to 30Hz refresh rate

    How to - external monitor and scaling

    Alternatively you could leave SB open, set the external monitor as your secondary display and set the scaling individually. This will work, but the secondary display will be blurry somewhat.

    How to - external monitor and scaling

    I use two external monitors with SB and don't use the SB display when docked. I have them set to 100% and the SB set to 200%. However certain things will never scale right when going from one to the other (e.g. PowerPoint, Acrobat, Desktop icons, etc.). I've learned to "live" with shutting...

    New Hardware Update: Is This The ONE?

    Welp... I still can't use two Mini-DP monitors, or even one Mini-DP and one DVI... I have to use a VGA in the mix or it shuts one down.

    Intel Display Driver Still Crashing

    I installed the latest (manually as the installer won't work). Windows 10 immediately ran the 1/27/2016 system update again and rolled the driver back to the 11/20/2015 version.

    Intel Display Driver Still Crashing

    I have been trying to figure out why Office apps such as Excel, PPT, etc. randomly crash on me. The crash is simple, the interfaces stop responding to or displaying any changes in cells, fields, etc. I can still click, save and close... but visually it is non-responsive. After an increase in...

    new surfacebook firmware 1/27/16

    Did this firmware update do anything for the dock? Mine has gotten more flakey with the new 1.27 Firmware... **ONGOING** Dual Mini-DP still does not work **NEW** Mini-DP to VGA connection no longer recognized if SB removed from dock and reattached without power cycling dock USB peripheral can...

    When is it the Surface and when is it Windows 10?

    I have a SB and have had significant issues with Office 2013 and 2016 regarding speed, crashing, toolbar vanishing. My first instinct is to blame the SB, but given that Windows 10 is equally new I wonder if some of my issues are Win10 issues... Which makes me think, how do we know if it is a...

    Bug Fixes / Firmware in 2016?

    I feel like it has been a while since we had a significant "bug fix pack" for the SB. I thought Microsoft planned to address the lingering issues in updates in early 2016, but I have not seen anything yet? Should we expect another update cycle soon, I still have many lingering issues with the...

    3 Displays (SB as 3rd) Possible?

    Is it possible to use two external displays with the surface book open such that the surface book is the defacto 3rd monitor? I use two external 1080P displays and I'm tired of logging out and in to fix scaling everytime I detach. I think I could handle setting the SB display as the main...

    Rotation when Waking from Sleep

    I tend to keep my rotation lock on all the time. One issue I've noticed lately is that if put the computer to sleep and then change the orientation, typically vertical for a backback, the screen is rotated to that orientation when it wakes from sleep. The only solution is to manually rotate...

    Desktop Icon Scaling Workaround for Non UHD Monitors??

    With Windows 10 there are still some scaling issues, some can be resolved via registry hack: http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/ But one big one for me is the desktop icons. When going from undocked to docked using two 1080P monitors the desktop icons are...

    Anyone with 100% Functioning Surface Dock?

    Complete guess but given that the issues seem to be Mini DP to some other digital (DP, HDMI, DVI) issue... could it be a HDCP issue? It can't facilitate multiple HDCP handshakes?
