Microsoft Surface Dial support - how about OneNote?
https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2017/04/10/announcing-new-creativity-apps-unique-capabilies-surface-dial/#yO59yHJuTMKJJK2j.97 Good afternoon all, I saw this announcementin April about these new apps that are supporting the Microsoft dial. I am really hoping to hear that MIcrosoft will be adding support for this on the MIcrosoft apps, specifically the OneNote capabilities that are very similar to the functionality demoed in these 3rd party apps. But OneNote makes a ton of sense for color wheel and pixel depth etc, just in the basic use of OneNote.
Windows MR on Surface Studio 2
I think there may be a graphics card driver issue with the Surface Studio 2 or possibly a software issue with the Windows Mixed Reality Portal and its ability to output video over a USB-C port. Irecently upgraded from a Surface Pro 5 to the Surface Studio 2. My Lenovo Explorer Windows Mixed Reality headset doesn't work with the Surface Studio. I've tested and confirmed that it still works on the Surface Pro 5 (using the official Microsoft mini display port adapter). Seeing as how the Studio 2 doesn't have that port, I'm using the Microsoft USB-C to HDMI adapter on the Studio 2. The headset it recognized. Tracking works just fine, but in theHMD itself no image is shown. The back-light turns on in the headset, so it's just showing a slightly illuminated black screen. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1809 with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card (driver details in the screenshot below). There doesn't appear to be any driver updates available for either the graphics card or the headset. I checked both by just looking for driver updates in device manager and manually at Lenovo's site. All devices listed in device manager are properly addressed (no yellow exclamation marks). Looking at the reviews for the USB-C to HDMI adapter, it seems like other people are having problems with Mixed Reality on Surface products that output video over USB-C. One reviewer mentions having an HP 1440 MR HMD which doesn't work on a Surface Book 2. That makes me kind of suspect that the problem may be within the Mixed Reality Portal software itself (rather than the graphics card driver, port, or adapter cable).
Surface Laptop Studio easily stripped screws
Was trying to install a new memory card into my Surface, but the two side screws stripped incredibly easily, after just 2 turns. Any advice? Additionally, the screws being hidden under the rubber feet and metallic tape is a pain, especially considering they don't re-stick easily and Microsoft doesn't offer replacement feet.Welcome to the Surface Studio Community!

Surface Studio 2 and Bluetooth
Anyone else having continual issues with Bluetooth and the Surface Studio 2? I purchased mine in December 2018 along with the Surface Ergonomic Keyboard, Surface Precision mouse, and the Surface Dial. I have turned off all Power Management options on each of these devices that had them. Generally speaking the Precision Mouse will start working after 2 or 3 clicks and then it's fine until I don't use it for 5 to 10 minutes and have to go through the 2 or 3 clicks again. The Surface Dial and Keyboard are much worse. With the keyboard it will work great until I let it sit for awhile. Then I'll go to use it and have to literally just start hitting keys for 30-45 seconds before it starts responding. Once I do that, it will work again without issue until I don't use it for 5 to 10 minutes. With the Dial I have to press and hold it for 30-40 seconds (Sometimes longer and sometimes I just give up and don't bother using it) before it will do anything. Once again, like the Keyboard and mouse, if I continue to use it, it works well. If I don't for 5 to 10 minutes I have to start the "wake up" procedure all over. I have used the above devices with my Surface Pro (2017) and Surface Go and while I have occasionally experienced similar results it's very rare and usually only takes a couple of seconds which I don't have a problem with as I expect the device needs a moment to detect the device. I've had the keyboard and dial replaced once with no change. Thought I would post here to see if anyone else was experiencing the same or had some suggestions. I used to live less than 3 miles from a Microsoft store and it was easy to get things like this looked at. Unfortunately, we had to move to Arizona for family reasons and apparently Microsoft doesn't think there's much in Tucson for it, so the closest store is now a little over 120 miles away 😞 Thanks for any input anyone can offer.
