surface pro

My Type cover isn't working (I have no backlight so I guess I have the first version) At first when it stopped working correctly it sometimes worked when it had a certain angle between the keyboard and the screen. Now I can't seem to find this "hotspot". I read this could be caused by a bad...

Hi. Here's my basic problem. When I plug my mouse in (I actually have two mice) to my Surface Pro running Windows 10 through a hub, the cursor gets "stuck" in the lower left hand corner, around the Cortana/"Ask me anything" field. The hub is a powered Belkin hub and I have been using it for...

My child changed my admin password and now can't remember it. I used Rufus to create a usb bootable stick from PCUnlocker Enterprise iso image and it booted successfully on my Surface Pro tablet. But the program couldn't locate the sam file and reset the password. Afterwards I booted with Ubuntu...

I searched a bit and didn't see this topic covered but wanted to see if anyone has seen a fix. After the Anniversary Update, my Surface Pen works as usual but the eraser button doesn't consistently call up the Ink menu or One Note. I've tried uninstalling the pen drivers and forgetting and...

I just bought a used surface pro with the pen and the type cover keyboard. i bought it for art purposes, and i plan to only use it for photoshop and other art programs. i tested it for a couple of minutes before buying it and the touch seemed responsive, just like the pen. Now that i've brougjt...

Update 2: Can't access www.youtube.com again. Update 1: While I was screen cutting the problem, www.youtube.com can be accessed now. I still had the problem several minutes ago, and now the problem solved itself? I still have trouble accessing www.google.com, and can't sign in to youtube...

I share an Surface Pro 4 with my younger brother. We mostly use the tablet for homework and gaming. However, he changed the login password yesterday and he told me he can't remember the password now. Do I need to hand the tablet to Microsoft support to unlock the password or is there another...

I've recently been interested in picking up a cheap (sub $300-250) surface tablet, and I've seen pro model 1s and 2s all over the place and even a regular surface 3 (atom x7). My main goal with the tablet is for 2D game development in programs like contruct 2 and Clickteam fusion 2.5, which I...

Hi, I recently bought a second hand surface pro 1 and I tried to update it to W10. While updating I accidentally shut the tablet down and now its stuck in the ''just a moment'' screen. Tried downloading the recovery image on the microsoft site but it always fails around 70%. (IDM also doesn't...

Hi Lads, My Surface Pro shuts down when moving the cover, which means, if it stands with the keyboard on the front, like a laptop and I pick it up, putting the cover to the back (to use as a tablet), it shuts down and restarts without any notification. It's doing the same if I'm doing it in...

Surface Pro - attempted upgrade to win 10, had a cisco component on it so no internet, tried to revert to 8 and it bricked windows entirely. I am able to get into BIOS setup and disabled secure boot control and trusted platform module, but it doesn't pick up on my USB recovery drive, whether it...

Hi guys, I bought a MS SPro1 recently, with a power cover, but to be honest the battery life of the power cover is far from my expectations, it last less than 2 hours with 25% light and power saver mode (win 10). The CPU is no on high usage, I usually pin it to the front and sometimes it hits...

Hi, I have a Surface Pro (yes I know this is the SP3 forum, hear me out). I am thinking about buying a new dock off of Ebay, someone's selling it because it shipped without a power cord. I'd like to buy a power cord for it, but the only ones that are being sold on Ebay are SP3 Docking Station...

Hi. I recently decided to try to hook my Surface up to an external monitor. After doing a little research, I found the Microsoft VGA adapter and lo and behold I found a good deal on a used one on ebay. So, I get the adapter, but when I try to use it to connect my surface to a monitor, nothing...

I have a Sandisk 128GB and I randomly find that the card unmounts at different points during the day. I haven't been able to pinpoint when it happens. I just realize that some programs won't load that were installed on the card and that's how I know. Anyone know how to fix this?

Can only connect to 2.4GHz wifi band, 5GHz is not recognised on my SurfacePro. Latest drivers are installed. Any suggestions, please?
