    Any pro photographers using the Surface Pro 4?

    Why would it explode? I run Photoshop on mine all the time while also using a 4K monitor. Performance has been great.

    Possible FIX to stuck download issues. - Solved?

    Thanks! Worked for me. I did what you said, then restarted, It downloaded the update really quick, too quick for my current connection (I'm on a hotel WiFi at the moment). After it downloaded nothing happened, so I checked for updates again, and it is downloading right now. Thanks!

    How do I reset the login pin (Windows 10 Desktop)?

    Just got it working. I changed my account to a local account, restarted, then changed it back to a Microsoft account. Everything is working now, although there is a 2 second delay when signing in with a PIN, that isn't there with a password.

    How do I reset the login pin (Windows 10 Desktop)?

    Re: How do I reset the login pin (Windows 10)? My desktop running W10 uses the PIN just fine, so I think the feature should be fixed in this build. However, my SP3 cannot log in using the PIN. At first, when I enter the PIN, it wouldn't do anything for about 45 seconds or so. Then it would...

    Charging SP3 on a 12v system

    Got mine from Amazon today. Works great. It seems to charge the same as when plugged into AC so far, but I just tested it out for about 10 minutes, and wasn't using it (although it was powered on). The cord is somewhat shorter than expected, but long enough. It measures 44" not including...

    Fans on full and very hot - only web browsing

    I believe that at least for some people, the problem is software related. I've been using the SP3 since it came out, without issue until I put Win 10 Preview on it. Since then, occasionally I run into the same issue. I have noticed that when this happens, the Application Frame Host is...

    Can I get some help with some problems in the Start Menu of Windows 10 build 10049?

    I had the same problem, my start menu didn't work at all. However I also had a problem starting Outlook. This is what worked for me: Run RegEdit Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache Change the value to %USERPROFILE%\Local...

    My Surface Pro 3 is not working

    Connect it to an external display. Press WIN + P if necessary to show the display on the external monitor. You should then be able to run the windows updates that resolve this.

    Windows 10 Bricked my SP3

    Can you hook it up to an external display? I connected mine to another display, then hit Win+P to put the display on both monitors. Then I ran update, and everything is working great so far.

    Why am I experiencing random screen swipes?

    Re: Screen Swiping Issue Thanks for the help. Just a quick update. I bought it from Amazon, and it's been quite painless. They are sending me a replacement, that will be here Monday. I then have 30 days to return they original SP3, or they will charge me for it. Pretty great policy, it...

    Why am I experiencing random screen swipes?

    Re: Screen Swiping Issue Sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't use a screen protector (yes, my screen is clean). Also, I have tried to recalibrate the screen, and the refresh I did was from the above link. Thanks to both, for your help. I guess I'll exchange it for another one. Its an...
