Same happens to my Daughter. She's away at college using her SP3 for note taking in class, and screws up multiple times during class. I offered to drive the 3 hours to see her and downgrade her tablet to 8.1, but she says she can live with the Minor Annoyance. Problem is that I don't think she should have to. MS SHOULD FIX THIS!
Any MS reps in the audience with a comment?
Yeah I use my SP3 in lectures for notes too, these are all problems ATM:
1. My arm keeps bumping the clock in the task bar and the "date and time" options keep popping up
2. the keyboard randomly pops up because when you tap on screen (which the machine incorrectly also thinks is happening) it thinks you want to type
3. It thinks every tap is a right tap.
The work around I found to #1 is to move the task bar to the top of the screen (go to desktop mode, right click (just tap haha) the start bar and choose "unlock, and drag it to the top)
The work around I found to #2 is to only use onenote when the device is in desktop mode. It's still annoying because I have to switch modes every time I use onenote, but then the cut and paste dialog just randomly pops up instead of the keyboard. Still an annoying bug, but less annoying.
To work around #3 in OneNote you can scroll with 2 fingers (you might have to enable zooming in onenote settings for this to work), but it's HIGHLY annoying because you have to reboot the machine to fix it.
What irks me the most is that Microsoft has known about this bug for months and went ahead with the W10 release anyway. If there's one thing that makes me switch to the iPad Pro it's going to be basic incompetence on their behalf like this. They push their products as being high productivity devices, but if you can't rely on them then they're not very productive!
