    Surfacebook Memory and CPU problems.

    Did you go into the Nvidia control panel applet and set it to default to the Invidia video card? It defaults to the Intel video card and will cause that issue. This is a very common issue. Doing this will also help the memory issue.

    I am on a surface book and I am seeing no difference. I am guessing you checked to make sure the resolution didn't change during the upgrade?

    Dock for SB is really a let down. Almost wish i could return it because of USB Disconnects...

    I have all the USB ports full on my dock and experience zero issues. But none of them are high drain devices. When I need to console into a switch at my desk I have to use the USB port on my Surface since I am out of ports on the dock and that works with no issues too. I know if you put a...

    Windows 10 stuck at 32 percent on upgrading to new os, what should I do?

    Had the same issue with two laptops I did two weeks ago. Both were Win 7 64-bit. I had to download the image onto a USB flash drive using the media creation tool and then run setup from it. When it prompted me to download critical updates before the install I told it no. After that the install...

    Anniversary Update

    Got the update yesterday. It installed with no issues and so far i really like it. I did notice that it reset my Nvidia options and resorted back to the Intel as the primary dGPU instead of the Nvidia. Thats a simple fix so it really wasn't a big deal. Other then that I haven't noticed anything...

    Surface dGPU and RAM .. anything weird?

    You also need to go into the control panel, choose the Invidia icon, and then make sure that it is set to default to the display card. The way the system works there are two display cards in it. One to run the tablet when it is undocked and then the dGPU. It will default to the lesser of the cards.

    So how's everyone feel about their Surface Book now?

    I love mine. I am using it a desktop replacement here at work and then use it at home to remote in if I need to and it works perfect. I got mine several months after they came out so a lot of the bugs had been worked out.

    Mine did the same thing except I never got the discoloration. I have the i7 with the dgpu. After making the changes in the nvidia app so it used the dgpu as default my fan rarely came on. After the update even though the app was still set correctly the fan ran constantly and it ran very hot. I...

    Surface Dock questions

    I have had no issues with the Ethernet not working. As far as the above goes concerning the monitors, I could not get it to work with mini display to HDMI. I had the exact same issues. I went to mini display to display and have had no issues since running dual Dell 30" non 4K monitors.

    Something that I have noticed today is that the fan runs almost constantly. It hardly ever ran before the update. I have it in the dock and even though I have the settings set to use the Nvidia card it looks to be using the Intel graphics card. It did this right after I got it and switching to...
