The One Without the Nuts
Surface Pro Problems
Windows 10 Fall Creators Update: It's almost soup. Meanwhile, the first Creators Update release is now on 50% of Win 10 PCs. Microsoft quietly issues a fix for Surface Pro hibernation problems Some have made a Surface Pro "light bleed" an issue. It's not. Related: More Surface Laptop color choices coming (for I7 models). Microsoft has now delivered 2 of the 8 LinkedIn top-priority integrations it set last December. People really hate the new Skype client app (and MS knows it). But at least Skype is coming to BMW 5-series cars. July update for Xbox One brings custom gamerpics, more.
