I have a new Xbox ONE S and Forza Horizon. I love how I can stream games (Halo, Overwatch) from by basement where the Xbox is through my SP4 to my theater big screen, and the Xbox Wireless Controllers work great controlling the streamed games. But, I cannot get the TMX Pro Force Feedback Racking...

Band 2 Has Stopped Counting Steps Accurately In the last two days, my Band 2 is failing to count most of my steps. It will count several and then fail to count for a period, then start again. I have, with no luck: Restarted the device Repositioned it on my wrist I suspect I have a hardware...

When using the touch keyboard in Windows 8.1, it would remember the last configuration it was in. If the keyboard was last used in the handwriting mode, then it would open the next time in handwriting mode. However, Window 10 seems to open always to the keyboard. It makes using the handwriting...

Found my problem. In the display settings, the 'Change the size of text, apps, and other items' setting was pushed to 100%. Sliding this back to 150%, the recommended setting, restored the split screen feature. Thanks for the help!

Windows 10. Should have mentioned that earlier. This worked fine in 8.1, but seems disabled in 10.

Are you able to do this on a Surface 3 in tablet mode? I can do it in desktop, but not tablet. When I pull down on an app in tablet mode, I can drag to the bottom of the screen to close, but I can't snap.

Why can't the Surface 3 do a split screen to show multiple apps when in tablet mode? This is very disappointing and a big step backwards. Or, is it supposed to be able to do multiple apps and I am missing something?

Surface 3 Goes Through Full shutdown when dormant for extended time When I put down my Surface (close the lid or hit the physical power button, and pick it back up within a 20-30 minutes, it will instantly come back on like my past Win8 tablets did. But, if I leave it for several hours, it...

I experienced the same battery drain issue yesterday. Any chance MS is downloading 10 onto the devices ahead of time and this is causing this sudden increase in battery usage?

Thanks for the replies. I am surprised to hear this is a wider problem than just for Surface. My ThinkPad Tablet 2 and my wife's Acer tablet neither had the issue, and our Sony home computer does not. But, this was exactly the feedback I was looking for--something to confirm this is being seen...

Thanks for the reply.

Just a quick update. I had a support chat with Microsoft (very pleasant and helpful experience-surprisingly), and the tech had me uninstall and reinstall the mail app. This helped for a very brief time, but it is already starting to slow down again. But, I assume since I'm not getting any...

I am increasingly having problem where when I try to type a reply to an email, the email app runs so slowly that I can type three or four words ahead of what is showing on the screen (and I'm not that fast of a typist). If I close the program and reopen, it does not help. Today, I even...

I had the exact same problem. But, I don't have a restore point set to roll back to.
