Thank you, I just cleared the cache and history, and it is much better. I appreciate the advice. Thanks.

I have a core I7 laptop running windows 8.1 and IE 11. The WPCentral site is one of the most useful sites, well done. But why is the webpage so slow to load? I don't have this problem with any other websites except for Engadget when I click on the "more comments" button on a page. But on...

So with all of the announced features for Windows Phone 8.1, I am pretty much set on everything that I have wished for in the platform. The only aspect I am still hoping for is variable audio playback speed - I greatly miss being able to speed up audiobook playback like I could on my old iPhone...

I thought it might be helpful to post random tips on one thread. Please only post any tips that come to mind, no matter how obvious you think they may be. I think those new to the Surface may find it helpful and we can all likely learn something. Please don't get the thread off topic - just...

Expand the "Low Battery Level" heading and then change the "on battery" to whatever you wish. This will give you a warning when you reach this level as long as the "low battery notification" is set to "on". I originally didn't get notifications when this was set to the default 6% but did when I...

No problems here for me with this. Have you tried rebooting? I echo what everyone else has said - great update, ie10 is much faster. I am very happy.

I did the same thing. Interestingly I teach some 15 and 16 year old kids. The instant they saw the surface they universally told me that it looked better than an iPad (has the right shape they are used to now with everything else -widescreen), and they all wanted one (but of course could never...

My surface tablet will not turn off it's touch cover keypress sounds no matter how I toggle the switch under "Play key sounds as I type." No matter which way the toggle is, it will also play the annoying sounds with each keypress. No sound with the onscreen keyboard, and no sound with the type...

Thank you for posting this. I ran into the same problem with my type cover, but I hadn't made the connection about using it on a hard surface and using it on my lap. I just tried it out and you are correct: When I type on the type cover when using my surface on my lap the keyboard will have a...

It is a good thing that there are so many options out there so we can all find what works best for each of us. I actually have had the opposite experience from you. The surface works much better for me. Unlike the ipad, I can actually set the surface on my lap without having to hold it up...

That happened to me, too. I went into settings for power on the desktop and changed the warning from 6 down to 5 and it works now for me.

Works well for me as well with Gmail. Why it is not turned on by default is not clear to me. One other tip I just figured out that others may not have yet: when in the email app you can swipe emails to select multiple emails to delete etc. Nice shortcut to mo ung, deleting, etc.

I just started playing around to see if I could find a way to do this. Looks like you can just tap the "Home" button on the type cover and it will take you to the top. Still wish there was a way to do it when the keyboard isn't pulled out.

I switched from an iPad to a surface and love it. The iPad browser used to always crash in me. One thing I miss though is being able to tap the top status bar and have the page jump to the top. With ie10 I have to scroll back up. Anyone know of any shortcut to get to the top of a page? Thanks...

I returned my 32gb for a 64gb instead. I forgot to bring the charger so they told me to keep it as an extra instead of making me give the new I w in my box. Pretty classy.

there is history in metro ie10 By the way, this argument is moot as there is a history in the metro ie10. All you have to do is click on the URL bar and start typing -it will pull up all websites you have visited that have that phrase in it. It is a list and is different than the favorite and...

One more thing I just remembered seeing that may be of help - you can only download purchased programs onto a max of five computers, but I believe you can download to an unlimited number of users on those 5 computers.

By the way - you can set your Microsoft account on the surface to require a password each time you purchase something - so the kids can't run up a bill on you. Also, if you turn on family safety you can restrict an account to only be able to download a specific maturity level of program - this...

I can also verify that the apps are not duplicating space - both from my experience and a Microsoft blog post I saw before. Not sure about updates.
