Settings seem to be almost non existent. I think it's partly going to be simplified, but they may also just be sendining this just out with the default config for now.

I've been seeing all the tech media grabbing their pitchforks over this. So I wasn't expecting Windows 11 since I don't have a TPM 2.0 chip and I'm running an AMD FX series cpu. However, my PC automatically updated to Windows 11 without any registery hacks, or even my knowledge. Is this just...

I see some of these things periodically. Sometimes keyboard lag happens. Most issues are usually Edge acting up but usually it's nice and fast.

I would take it in to a MS store and see what they can do.

I tried to see if anyone else had issues with the Comcast router and the SP4 but didn't find anything. It's supposedly been tested at providing 700 Mbps throughput, which is far from the ability of my 90 Mbps line.

Mine worked at least, although I mostly use the Surface dock with the WiFi dongle attached. So I haven't tried with newer updates. I had a 5 GHz Dlink dongle on my PC that would fail after each Windows update. I could go in and manually set the driver to the right one. I reported the break...

It is free but is worth some money. There are some paid upgrades at reasonable prices, such as colored pencils and I think some blending tools. But it does what you want for free.

I recall my Surface 3 doing notification sounds in standby but I'm not sure about my Surface Pro 4. It could just be the way it is setup or that I often have the volume on mute. The SP4 will maintain network connections while in standby. I remember reading the connected stand by mode runs for...

Yes, as far as apps go I think you would be able to use Graphitier. It is a sketch oriented app that supports layers and you can import photos.

I have that off but have experienced some playback issues in the past. Considering it's an i7 that shouldn't happen either way. But lately playback has been fine.

Thanks, I did that regkey fix a while back but it didn't seems to change much. My router is just a consumer level Xfinity 802.11ac modem.

I have two Dell u2417h monitors daisy chained to my SP4 doc. They mostly work great but I'm having an issue where periodically one of them briefly cuts out. This cutout seems to bounce from one monitor to the other on a timed schedule. Anyone else experienced or fixed this? I have another...

I added a cheap 802.11AC dongle to my SP4 docking station and am finally getting good wifi performance. I'm not sure if it's the Comcast gateway but the Surface is the only thing that seems to struggle with it. This is from 10 feet to the AP and direct line of sight.

Well, a little over a month now and the 5G performance just about always underperforms 2.4, except under rare occasion.

I've tracked the problem to my mouse (Logitech MX Master). Any use of the mouse seems to trigger the start screen to load. Reinstalled drivers and repaired the mouse without any luck so far.
