    4200U vs 4300U

    That's really poor, would have thought all their products now would be the latest iterations. I would buy one from them if I was assured if was the 4300u model.

    IE Swipe Back & Forward Stop Working Randomly

    As of last week's update the IE11 swipe gestures for moving back and forward a page keep suddenly not working. I'm not sure what's causing it, but for example if I swipe back now nothing will happen - no loading, no indication of a recognised gesture, nothing. If I close the browser fully then...

    June patch tuesday: Audio and Display drivers not updating

    I take back my previous complaint...I think I also didn't get a firmware update. Lots of other updates, but doesn't seem to be a firmware one in the list. Guessing it got pulled?

    June patch tuesday: Audio and Display drivers not updating

    Sigh, this again. Already replaced my device once for this bug prior to MS acknowledging it and fixing it in an update. I've not refreshed this device or anything like that in the past (which was the cause of the bug previously), but I've just updated and my drivers are showing as the 2013 old...

    Are any SP2's you get from the UK Microsoft store now the latest 4300u model?

    Freezing on Lockscreen after 8.1 Update 1

    Hadn't done it in a few days but just got it twice tonight, very frustrating. Doesn't seem to be any errors near the unexpected shutdown one in the event viewer. Did they fix the sleep of death only to have a similar but slightly different issue introduced? I love the s2 but the countless bugs...

    Can't update lock screen after 8.1 Update 1

    Since updating I've been unable to change my lock screen image. Amazing lock screen produces an error and says it cannot change my lockscreen. When I go to do this manually it just has a spinning circle where the image preview is and it never loads or changes. Any ideas? Anyone else has this bug?

    Freezing on Lockscreen after 8.1 Update 1

    After updating 8.1 I've had my device freeze on the lock screen twice now in 2 days. It's after the device has been idle for a bit, then you unlock it/open the type cover and the lock screen appears but then just gets stuck there. The lockscreen image appears but no time/date/battery/wifi. I've...

    Onedrive on W8 / RT

    What's going on with the Windows 8 / Windows RT update? They've updated the Android and iOS apps to reflect the name change but my desktop PC and Surface 2 are both still sat with Skydrive. Seems pretty confusing considering these ecosystems are Microsoft's own, you'd think they'd have those...

    OneDrive - It's starting!

    They just tweeted out the way to win 100gb of storage today. I've decoded the puzzle and it says the following: Hope that helps :)

    Surface 2 Sleeves?

    I got the Snugg Leather Case for my Surface 2. Fits the device with the Type Cover 2 folded up perfectly. I use my Surface 2 for both home and business, so I wanted something which looked a bit smarter. Can't recommend the case enough. I think the brown leather one they do looks great, but it's...

    VLC Player 2.1

    Whilst I understand that, I then feel that they should come out and just say 'we don't know at the moment'. Communication goes a long way and a lack of it becomes frustrating for the fans / consumers. Even if it's just a tweet. At the moment it's radio silence.

    Type 2 cover backlight not working

    I've had this bug before, made me look like a fool when it started working shortly after posting the thread. Try restarting the system, or disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard. Also as stated above try hitting the brightness keys with FN + F2. I've found in the past FN didn't work but...

    VLC Player 2.1

    On the developer's blog he states they were readying it for store submission by the end of w/c December 2nd, but since then have not made any update. Its frustrating when users are left out in the cold, it can't be hard to take a couple of minutes to write a post updating everyone on the current...

    Audio Crackle through speakers

    Does anyone know how to solve the odd audio distortion noise when using the speakers. Disabling audio enhancements seems to improve the quality significantly but also makes the speakers incredibly quiet even on 100%. I most notice this when viewing videos where people are speaking, it doesn't...
