Surface 3 On its Way!

Well after a few months with the Surface 3, I can say I am very happy with it. I recently purchased the pen and type cover to accessorize my Surface 3. The pen is great, especially with OneNote. The type cover is nice, and I will use it more when travelling since I still have a laptop here at...

Surface 3 On its Way!

The primary reason was I wanted the smaller screen size of the Surface 3. If I was looking for a laptop replacement I would have gone with the Pro model.

I guess it depends on how you are going it use it. Right now I am keeping it in a zippered portfolio, but I will get a cover at some point. The kickstand is a nice feature and makes it easier to use the onscreen kb.

Perhaps, but unless it was quite some ago it was most likely another Great White Northerner.:wave:

If you type 'refresh' in the Search box on the Windows start page, it will take you to the recovery options page. You can read more about refresh here: Windows 8 Refresh Feature Makes It Easy to Start With a Clean Slate | PCWorld

Here it is: I must say it is quite fast, very fluid and seamless in operation. Loving it! I do have to get a cover though. And the pen...

I understand. I thought maybe you could do a system restore to when all was well. As I mentioned earlier, I don't feel qualified to troubleshoot your issues, so hopefully you'll get some expert help soon.

Explorer.exe crash on startup.

Thanks for the extra details. I am not as deep into troubleshooting as some of the others here at Sysnative, so I may wait out someone else jumping in here. Let me ask: is a complete reinstall (or restore) out of the picture? I know it is always a last resort, but it looks to me like the...

I already have a Win7 Thinkpad that I like very much, so if I need to do any KB-intense stuff, I will use it. I didn't order the pen (yet) but I would likely get it before the KB. I'm going to take lots of photos, and likely write a review as well.

I've actually never experienced any version of the Surface, sad to say. I figured I would never be able to afford one, but since I recently sold my website, I figured I had better get one now!

I'm sorry to hear of all your issues! In addition to the information you supplied, it would be helpful to know what version of Windows this is. Also, how long has this been happening and can you think of anything that might have happened immediate preceding these issues? Thanks!

Surface 3 On its Way!

I'm so excited: my Surface 3 (not the Pro) is to be delivered Tuesday! I purchased it online from the Microsoft Store and shipping is fast. If it were not for the holiday here Monday (Victoria Day), I would have it tomorrow. I'm curious to see how much faster it is than my Lenovo Yoga 11 with...
