I've tried everything except swapping devices. Still have the popping problem on headphones plugged directly into the jack. Unfortunately, I could not replicate it when I brought the SP3 into the Microsoft Store.

I got the 750mb update as well. Installed it. It was a cumulative update: KB3000850. Not firmware/system hardware. Support page describes the update: This update rollup includes the following new features and improvements: Refreshed language packs Defence-in-depth security and Schannel...

i5 8GB SP3. Fan was on heavily during set up. When syncing files across my LAN and particularly during the initial sync for OneDrive. Other triggers: Manual malware scan using Windows Defender Playing FTL (Faster Than Light) - very simple game; 33% CPU utilization max Daily "maintenance" the OS...

I've had my fan wind up around 55C also. What I've noticed is whenever the OS is performing a 'maintenance task' the fan winds up even though the temp is low - usually during a malware scan or indexing operation. I consistently see the fan turning on whenever the system is at 65C for more than...

I've not done anything with the drivers. However, two days ago the SP3 locked up when I was using OneNote. The screen dimmed a bit and the fan wound up. I finally forced a shut down. When I restarted, I saw the dreaded thermometer. After 60 sec, I restarted and it booted. I doubt that had...

I just checked on windows update and the Firmware Update from 6/19/2014 installed today 7/2/2014. I checked my logs and it had installed when I first set up my SP3 on 6/20/2014. Anyone else see this behavior?

I'm having a difficult time figuring out if there's a problem with my SP3 (i5/256GB/8MB) or I'm experiencing what everyone else is experiencing. I installed FTL - NOT a graphics intense game - from Steam. I ran it full screen at native resolution. Within 3 minutes the fan wound up and the...

I have a SP3 256/8MB and the same audio popping but only discernible with the headphone jack plugged in. I'm using wired headphones. It's more like a low frequency pulse every quarter second or so. When I play music, it disappears. When I pause or quit a program with audio, it returns within...

Glad you solved your problem with the Language pack. Thanks for finding the HWR "training"! Wow, that was buried, huh? (above written with HWR)

I have had a similar problem with the missing mouse pointer. It simply disappears - usually when I'm in Explorer - but then pops back in after 30 sec or so. Touch still works. I plan to uninstall/reinstall the drivers - just haven't had a chance yet. I'll let you know if that works when I do.

I've looked through the options in OneNote 2013 but could not find something that would completely disable HWR. The only option that may have an influence is the "Pen Mode". Make sure you've selected one of the options with handwriting and not just "drawing". Does the HWR work in the...

Yes, I use it regularly and have no problems with the conversion. Are you selecting your ink (i.e. lasso selection) then converting to text? Also - I have not been able to find the handwriting "training" in Windows 8. I used HWR in Win 7 and I remember going through a training tutorial to...

I've tried with/without the cover and just tried with the stock on-screen keyboard. I get the same message - not available for your PC :( Maybe it is time to uninstall the type cover and restart with a fresh driver install. Is it actually a "Metro" app?

No - here in the US. When I search on the Store (via Charm), it does not show up. Were you able to install it?

Alternative on-screen keyboard:TouchPal I'm experimenting with TouchPal for Windows 8 and have been using their keyboard instead of the default for a few days. I've had an occasional crash when a word is misspelled, so it's a little rough around the edges but I find their layout useful and...

I've looked high and low for the trackpad settings control panel for my Type Cover. All I am trying to do is reverse the direction of the two-fingered scroll. I found this app: Trackpad Settings app for Windows in the Windows Store …but the MS Store indicates it is not available for my...

Just tried the pen that came with the Wacom Bamboo tablet but it is not recognized. I could not find the Bamboo "Feel" pen other than on Wacom's website. There's a vendor on Amazon selling it for >$100. Any other sources?

If this is still a problem, I noticed you can touch the 'accessibility' icon in the lower left of the login screen. There is an option to bring an on-screen keyboard. This is not the same TOUCH keyboard you would get without the type/touch cover attached - it is the legacy accessibility keyboard.

I installed the latest HD4000 INTEL drivers yesterday - I was wondering what that setting was for. Do you happen to know if the Power Plan profiles override that setting? On Battery, where this is an option on the Intel Display Options control panel, I don't notice a difference whether it is...

Terrific! Many thanks, I've been looking for this. Ever since Anandtech's article describing the improvement to a calibrated display I've been hoping someone would post the .icc from a professional calibration tool. It is hard to justify the investment in a Spyder (or similar) calibration...
