!Not running Lync, I'm wondering if it could be a graphic problem as on occasion it acts that way.

I have same mouse. Problem was primarily when using Access. When designing forms was very difficult to select anything since the mouse would constantly double click.
After switching back to 8.1 no longer having issues.

That's the only way it becomes a 'finished' version.
No, wait... Did I just imply that there is such thing as a 'finished' version? Sorry about that.

Just in case anyone was wondering if the easy-bake-oven-leaf-blower effect is due to Windows 10, yeah it is. Just switched back to Windows 8 and fan barely runs and I now have to fry eggs on the stove instead of the back of my SP3.
Hopefully MS will get that sorted out before the actual release.

Ur welcome. Many positive things about it but the little weirdnesses here and there were the dealkiller for now. Still for an early Beta not bad at all.
Oh one more thing that was an issue. When inking in OneNote, half a page of ink would suddenly just disappear for no apparent reason. Disconcerting.

Glad that I had the chance to participate.
In the end it took me two days to get back to windows 8.1. First I've tried to see if there was a recovery image but the system could not find one. so I downloaded the recovery files from microsoft and the system did not accept them. Than I downloaded a ilegal version of windows 8.0 (I'M NOT PROUD OF DOING SO..!! but I had no choice..)
Advice: Never put windows 8.0 on your machine because it will never let you update to windows 8.1 and it wont recognize all of your system hardware (not even the touchscreen).
so I tried installing the surface pro 3 drivers manually but it will give you all kinds of errors because the drivers dont like windows 8.0. In the meanwhile I had no working internet connection because there were no drivers that would work. I had to use my usb 3.0 to RJ-45 adapter and use a cat 5 cable to my laptop and share the internet connection to get acces to the net.
In the end I found a windows 8.1 ISO (dutch version my native language) on the internet and installed it. But before I could install 8.1 I needed a genuine product key. I've used a tool to sniff out the OEM product key that came preinstalled in the BIOS of the SP3.
I just finnished installing 8.1 and manually succeeded in installing all of the SP3 drivers so now there are no yellow triangles inside device manager.
pffff I'm so tired right now.. I was ready to pull out my hair over this.. Took me 2 days to get here.. 2 days..
