    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    The new model is on its way. If closing the type cover would be the cause, I think a lot more people would have this issue. And not just me with three out of three... The only thing I can think of is: pressure. And that can then be either on the touch screen or from the back. I really don't...

    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    From one end, I am really happy finally knowing what seems to be the cause of the issue. On the other hand I am not as I can hardly be more carefull with the device! Now I am going to be more cautious when writing on the tablet. By closing you mean: closing the type cover? That pressure is so...

    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    While doing some more research myself (and waiting for my new device to return) I've found that other people refer to it as "bright spots" rather than "spots of backlight bleed". If I then search Google for "surface pro bright spots" I find some people with similar issues...

    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    First of all: I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to respond to my topic. I have already sent the most recent one back as it would freeze every few minutes, basically making the device useless. And thank you for posting the link. On surfaceforums.net also someone has complained...

    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    Ah ok, read it and this is COMPLETELY different from my backlight bleed. I cannot state enough: I know backlight bleed from the edges is normal. It is just a common thing with LCD screens. What I am talking about is spots in the middle of the screen. Anyway... this fourth one will be sent back...

    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    So, to you this is not new? I have never talked to other people that had this issue as well.

    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    Well that sucks… Today I started configuring the 4th one and I noticed that every now and then it has random freezes where the screen will be completely frozen and only starts responding after doing a reboot by holding the power button for a while. A little bit of research shows that I am not...

    Surface Pro 2017 Advanced LTE: Prevent light bleed spots in the middle of the screen

    Yesterday I received my fourth SP 2017 Advanced LTE. All three previous devices have been sent back with the same issue: light bleed spots somewhere in the screen. A few facts: I am aware that light bleed on the edges of a LCD panel is common and no reason to return a tablet. These are spots...

    Photo frame app

    Hi, I'm looking for a photo frame app for Windows 10. Just a pretty simple app that goes through all my pictures in random order. Should be able to handle deep folder structure. This way I can have my HTPC just go through all of my pictures. Kodi can do this for me, but I have the impression...

    Mail app - how can I set up default account?

    I know this is an old thread, but I was looking for the same thing. Turns out if you have just two accounts the only and easiest way is to remove the top account and add it again. Et voila, you're good to go! To be honest it is even faster than looking for ways how to drag the non default one...

    YouTube lagging on Edge and myTube

    Running Windows 10 on my HTPC. I have Google Chrome installed and connected to my account to watch YouTube videos. Next to that I have YouTube on Edge connected to my daughter's YouTube account and pinned to the start menu. Whenever she watches YouTube after a while I get artefacts and the...

    Camera hangs on Saving after taking a picture, how can I fix this?

    How come you "can't do a soft reset"?

    Camera hangs on Saving after taking a picture, how can I fix this?

    I think there are at least two different issues: the camera app taking a long time to save (HDR) pictures on one hand and the camera app getting stuck on "Saving" forever (even after a reboot) on the other hand. The first can perhaps be fixed by using the internal storage rather than a micro...
