After experimenting with using CAPS to toggle the Fn key between icon tasks (like brightness and mute) and function tasks (like F1, F2), something went haywire with my Home and End keys on my Type Cover. I tried a System Restore, but it didn't solve it. For example, in Word 2013 the Home key...

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I did search this forum and the net and couldn't find the answer, soooo... does the Surface Pro 3 type cover work with a Pro 4? I ask as for me $100/£100+ is just too expensive for a keyboard, especially as I've recently seen some heavily reduced...

Hi all I am a college student who has just purchased the Surface Book. I have been asked to write up a paper on a high tech product launched within the last six months so I thought what better product than the Surface Book itself. Although I am an owner of the laptop and love it, I need to...

I use the onscreen keyboard a lot. It seems, by default, the pen input screen comes up first whereas I prefer qwerty. This means two more presses to get it. Is there any way qwerty can be made to come up first by default? WP3; W10 latest updates complete. Thanks
