Settings and More (Alt+F) Surface Pen

I can use my mouse to open the ··· settings menu but when I press the on-screen button with my Surface Pen it doesn't activate. The account and feedback buttons both work as expected.

I agree...on a 10" tablet with touch in tablet mode I can not get to the "..." menu.

 

I can get to ">" more favorites and the smiley feedback button.

 

I have to use the virtual touchpad (not a physical mouse) to get it to work.

Thanks for the tip on the virtual touch-pad. I forgot about that, and it's sitting in the taskbar waiting on me to use it. Cumbersome though, but helps in a pinch.

 

I've not been using the favorites toolbar, because on an 8" screen I need all the real estate I can get. You might want to check my solution I posted above. Hope it helps. I set up a series of favorites to let me access what I need under that menu. 

 

Will still need to use the virtual touchpad when I need to install an app, but those are, for the most part, already set up.
