A faster way to get your mouse button is to hit the clipboard detach button but you don't need to actually remove the clipboard. Just let it click and then if you don't remove it it reconnects on it's own and the mouse pointer comes back. To take this tip even further use the on screen taskbar...

There is no such thing as a Surface Book Pro. Microsoft makes a Surface Pro 3, a Surface Pro 4 and a "Surface Book" there is no Pro label attached to any Surface Book.

So I have no idea what your talking about your not making any sense.... But if your talking about the smudge near your headphone jack then that is your speaker grill next to the smudge.

go to the action center. click all settings. click on the system icon. scroll down to power and sleep and click that. in that section set sleep to never and then click additional power settings. on that screen click change power settings on the right and then set sleep to never. go back to the...

you shouldnt need a registry edit. Give me a second and I will right up how to do it.

Just realize that by setting sleep to never that your device will drain the battery quickly if you take it off the charger. The SB will essentially be fully on this way. A better option is to turn off the sleep mode and set up hibernate for all functions: Close lid, power button, and go into...

Yes you are correct. That is not normal behavior. Whether you have the device set to hibernate after a certain amount of time or just stay asleep the device should wake from sleep or hibernate in the same state as it went to sleep or hibernate. I just tested my system by setting my machine to...

I have never had 1, 3, or 4 but I just tested out scenario 2 and it did what you described. They really need to fix these issues.

NO there is not. But you could try putting the surface in the tent configuration. The tent config requires flipping the screen around and then standing the device up in a triangle position.

Thank you I was tired and started pressing the wrong button. Problem solved.

Since build 11099 the keyboard shortcut CTRL + DEL,BACKSPACE no longer works in controlling brightness. Does anybody else have this issue?

I must be lucky... I had the driver crashing, wifi connection issues, and touchpad and keyboard connectivity issues. None of those issues exist for me now. The device works pretty much as expected and I get solid 8 hours of battery life out of it. I have the i7 8gb ram 256gb storage with...

Weight absolutely does make up for the price and battery life. That alienware would be lucky to get 3 hours on battery power. So... battery life plus portability plus the dual duty of being a laptop with a functional tablet more than makes up for the price. I can use my surface book all day...

By holding the power button I will bet its just going to sleep... currently there are issues with sleep mode where the computer doesn't go all the way to sleep. Go to your power settings and change the function of the power button from sleep to hibernate after that you can just tap the power...

Since the last round of updates my battery life seems better as well. I used to get around 7.5 hours now im getting 8-8.5 hours.
