    Has Edge gone downhill the past several months?

    Edge is certainly not perfect, but my experience isn't as bad as yours. Yes, sometimes text input might lag, sometimes when resuming from standby it might freeze, but I think it all depends on the extensions you have installed. Try to use as few as possible. For me Edge is still the best browser...

    Why does Edge suck so bad

    I like Edge. Sure it has problems and some things are really not excusable, but on my Surface Book 2 scrolling is great, especially in tablet mode. Font rendering is also great. Chrome and Firefox suck when it comes to scrolling in tablet mode, and I haven't found any good extension to solve...

    17074, Kill me Now!!! LOL

    I changed to the release preview ring and got the 17074 build. So far no issues on my Surface Book 2. The timeline feature though is not always available. Still trying to understand how it works (or when)

    Power throttling modes

    I am using balanced in all modes and when I want more performance I switch to best performance when the laptop is plugged in and better performance when on battery.

    Power throttling modes

    It will be louder only if you play high performance games. Only then. I have tried encoding videos and I hear nothing. The system stays quiet.

    Power throttling modes

    Which power mode are you using when on power and when on battery? Why not use the "best performance" mode when on power? Is there a reason why someone would select a different mode? I understand that when on battery the laptop should try to save battery life, but why throttle when on power? Any...

    Touchpad lag when on battery

    I suspected that the lag started occurring after connecting a Surface Pen to my Surface Book 2. I have just uncoupled my Surface Pen from my Book and then I paired it again with it. Interesting enough and for the moment being, the touchpad experiences no lag whatsoever. It will be interesting to...

    Touchpad lag when on battery

    There is also a thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/7ip8dm/surface_book_2_touchpad_pointer_lag/ It seems that many are affected, if not all Surface Book 2 owners..

    Touchpad lag when on battery

    I have an issue with my Surface Book 2 that is driving me nuts. When the laptop is on battery and with the standard energy saving settings, the touchpad will lag. Someone else has this issue too and made a YouTube video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdhtHpXO-Go Changing the energy...

    Does OneNote Web Clipper work for you?

    It works again. It is interesting though that only a few people noticed that the Clipper didn't work for two days.

    Does OneNote Web Clipper work for you?

    The OneNote Web Clipper suddenly stopped working on all my browsers and computers. I cannot login and I am prompted to enable 3rd party cookies. I have tried deleting all cookies, uninstalling the extension and reinstalling it, but it doesn't work. I have tried this on Chrome, Firefox and Edge...

    Is anybody happy with Edge?

    I am back on using Firefox 57. Edge is definitely not bad, but it is just not stable enough for prime time, at least not for me. I love its design and text rendering, but I hate when it slows down. Extensions can bring the Edge down and cause crashes. There are more than one ad block extensions...

    What do you love/hate about the Surface Book 2 so far?

    In Germany we don't have the 15" option, but I would go with more storage and RAM.I have the 512GB model and some times I feel I should have gotten the 1TB model.
