Recently, however, when I lock my screens, all my open applications have moved to my main display (My Surface Pro) when I come back. It never used to do this, any...

    Screen Replacement: What adhesive can be easily removed again.

    I bought a Surface pro 3 with a cracked screen and have been working on replacing it. As I'm sure many of you know, getting the screen off in one piece is a near impossible feat. By the time I had the old screen off I was bleeding, the screen was in many more pieces than it had been and I had...

    How much force can Surface pro 3 screen support without getting damaged?

    I currently own a surface pro 3 and I am concerned about its durability. So I want to ask how durable is the device itself and can it withstand the force of a person pushing against the screen? Thank you Edit: Let me rephrase this. How much pressure in units of N/m^2 can it support??

    Has anyone else experienced this issue running Win 10 Pro? Contact Support was not helpful, every method tried in Settings would not control the brightness. Fn + Del or Backspace does not work either. Any advice would be much appreciated by my eyeballs!
