My Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse randomly seems to lose connectivity for a few seconds before reconnecting. This is becoming a giant pain when in the middle of sensitive task using the mouse and it just cuts out. I've tried a variety of fixes, such as adjusting the power management...

Hi all, Recently, Windows Hello on my Surface Book is taking a while to start checking my face. The laptop boots up incredibly fast (as expected), but the lock screen almost always lingers on "Getting things ready..." for about 15-20 seconds. After that, Windows Hello starts up and it quickly...

Hi all, I used to be able to close any application or window by using Ctrl+Q (to quit), but in Windows 10 it appears to be Alt+F4 (plus Fn key, if necessary). The issue I have with this is on a Surface Book, the Fn key acts like Caps lock, one press and it stays on until you press again...

How can I indentify Product Key from inside Windows 10 Hi all, I purchased a Win8.1 Lenovo desktop two years ago and have upgraded to Win10. The capabilities of this PC have mostly been outstripped by my needs so I've decided to build a PC from scratch that is capable of the work I demand. I...

How long was eventually? It's been sitting at 0% for 13 hours...

Hi all, I'm a bit surprised I couldn't find this in the forums...nor anywhere online...but I have Win10 build 9926 installed at the moment and noticed that 10056 was released this weekend. I assume this means I am in the Slow Ring, since I have no updates waiting in the wings... my question...

Syncing OneDrive folders to PC Hi all, I've started to take advantage of the unlimited OneDrive storage with my Office 365 subscription by uploading all of my photos (I'm a photographer, there are MANY) to OneDrive. Problem is, seems this folder of photos is automatically syncing (for offline...

Hi all! So I've got a good sized digital movie collection (mp4 format) that I've uploaded to OneDrive in hopes of playing it across my devices, including my Xbox One. When I go to the OneDrive app, the only folder it displays is the default Pictures folder, my Movies folder nor any other...

Hi all, Does the surface pro 3 support miracast?

After letting the battery die and having the phone cool down for 30 minutes, plugging it in and rebooting started the installation process again but it installed properly. WOOHOOOO

Hi all, I've had a 1020 on AT&T for a year and no issues installing 8.1 using Preview for Developers. I just bought a Lumia Icon for me and my mother, and updated both simultaneously to 8.1 and hers went without a flaw, but mine restarts after maybe 10% of updating and it seems the whole...

Hi all, I use Waze nearly everyday, and this morning I noticed something drastically different: it seemed like Cortana was voicing the directions instead of the typical Waze app. Her voice was louder, clearer, and enunciated everything much better than what the Waze app did, but there is a...

Fixed! I don't know what happened, I went and added my mother's contact to inner circle with the nickname "Mom" and now when I "Call mom" it calls her and not my aunt!

TechFreak1, thanks for the reply, but I did not add her to the inner circle, and she is not listed in there ("she" being my aunt who cortana mistakenly added as my mother). Any other ideas?

Hi all, So I just downgraded to WP8.0 from the Preview build so that I could get the official 8.1 build and Cyan, and Cortana forgot everything I taught her (I hope we won't need to set her up every time we change devices...). I asked her to "Call mom" and she asked which contact I want to...
