Critical Pen Hover & Stray Ink Issue on New Surface Pro 11 for Business with Slim Pen 2
Hello Microsoft Community and Support Staff, I am writing to report a critical and seemingly widespread issue with the pen input on the brand-new Surface Pro for Business, 13-inch (Intel model, often called Surface Pro 11 "Luna Lake"). The Core Problem: Pen Draws Without Touching the Screen When using the Surface Slim Pen 2, the device begins to register ink input while the pen is still hovering a few millimeters above the screen. It does not require any physical contact or pressure. This "hover-inking" makes handwriting completely unusable. As I write, any time I lift the pen to start a new letter or stroke, the pen continues to draw a line as it moves through the air to its next position. This results in messy, connected handwriting with unwanted "tails," completely defeating the purpose of having a premium inking device. This is Not a Defective Unit - It's a Replicable Problem Initially, I thought I had a faulty device. However, to isolate the issue, I have performed extensive testing: I have personally tested this on [3] brand-new Surface Pro 11 (Intel) devices. I have used [4] different Slim Pen 2s. The exact same hover-inking problem occurred on every single combination of device and pen. Furthermore, I have already performed all standard troubleshooting steps, including: Clean OS installation via Surface Recovery Image. Ensuring all Windows, driver, and firmware updates are installed. Running the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit (which reported no errors). However, the same issue continues to occur even after trying these methods. Additionally, it has been reported that the issue also appears on the latest Surface Pro 12-inch model with the Snapdragon X Plus, just like on the Surface Pro 11 that uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite instead of Intel’s Lunar Lake. (I do not own any Snapdragon devices myself. If you own a Snapdragon device and are experiencing the same issue, please share your feedback.)" Video Evidence: I have recorded a clear video demonstrating the problem. It shows the pen drawing while hovering on the Surface Pro 11 and makes unwanted tails on handwriting letters.

What are the official steps to escalate this issue directly to the Surface engineering team for a fix? This is a major flaw in a flagship product that severely impacts its core functionality. I have submitted a formal bug report through the Feedback Hub, which can be found here: Feedback Hub Link: https://aka.ms/AAxzh27 I urge the Microsoft team to investigate this with high priority and release a firmware or software update to recalibrate the pen's Initial Activation Force (IAF). Thank you for your attention to this serious matter.
Bug na bateria após atualização em 06/05/2026
Olá, pessoal. Tenho um notebook com processador Intel Core i5 de 11ª geração e faço parte do Programa Windows Insider. Na quarta-feira, 06/05/2026, por volta das 16h, ao desligar o notebook, apareceu a opção de atualização. Selecionei “Atualizar e desligar”. Aguardei o desligamento, fechei a tampa e deixei o equipamento conectado ao carregador, com aproximadamente 80% de bateria. Por volta das 18h, ao sair para dar aula, levei o notebook sem o carregador. Ao chegar à instituição e ligar o equipamento, ele permitiu apenas digitar a senha de login e desligou completamente, sem possibilidade de religar. Ao retornar para casa, conectei o carregador e o sistema indicava bateria em 0%. Aguardei cerca de 30 minutos, mas o nível de bateria não aumentou. Depois de alguns minutos conectado, consegui iniciar o notebook, porém a bateria continuava marcando 0%. Verifiquei o Windows Update e havia uma atualização não concluída. Tentei corrigir removendo a atualização e baixando novamente, mas ela não finalizava. Durante todo o dia 07/05/2026, tentei atualizar novamente, sem sucesso. O notebook ficou muito lento e a bateria continuava em 0%. Na sexta-feira pela manhã, 08/05/2026, após deixar o equipamento durante a madrugada baixando a atualização, ela chegou a 99%, mas não concluiu. Resolvi então restaurar o sistema, escolhendo a opção de manter aplicativos e arquivos. A restauração foi concluída com sucesso. O equipamento voltou ao normal em desempenho e, no primeiro reinício, a bateria voltou a aparecer com 100%. Realizei testes de carga e descarga durante a manhã de 08/05/2026 e utilizei o equipamento normalmente à tarde. Na manhã de 09/05/2026, notei algo estranho: a bateria ainda estava em 100%, mesmo após o notebook passar a noite hibernado. Continuei trabalhando e, de repente, o equipamento desligou sem qualquer aviso de bateria fraca. Ao conectar novamente o carregador e iniciar a máquina, a bateria voltou a ficar travada em 0%, mesmo após mais de 2 horas conectada. Ao verificar as atualizações, percebi que as mesmas atualizações estavam novamente disponíveis. Já removi a inscrição no Programa Windows Insider e desinstalei as atualizações recentes, mas isso não alterou a situação. Entrei em contato com o suporte da Microsoft e fui orientado a relatar o caso aqui, pois, por participar do Programa Insider, pode se tratar de um bug relacionado a alguma versão que esteja em conflito com o gerenciamento da bateria. Pretendo restaurar novamente a máquina para verificar se o funcionamento volta ao normal. As atualizações relacionadas são: * KB5073032 - 2025.11 * KB5082257 * KB5082417 Gostaria de saber se outros usuários do Programa Insider tiveram problema semelhante envolvendo atualização, bateria travada em 0% ou falha no gerenciamento de energia após atualização recente.Edge Dev on Windows - Tab sync not working
Just wondering if anyone else is seeing a bug where on Windows and Edge Dev (latest version), tab sync just says "No tabs from other devices". But if you go to Edge Stable, it does show open tabs. It also shows my recent tabs with Edge Dev on Android, so I know the sync is working, just the desktop client is not showing them. I've sent feedback for this issue but since sync is still working correctly, I am wondering if this is a UI bug.
Mute/unmute hotkey stopped working in main windows during presentation
In recent versions I have been able to press CTRL + SHIFT+ M when I was presenting (sharing) something from my Teams main window. Recently this stopped working and I need to go forth and back from main window to the my call window to mute myself. Could you please restore the old behavior. Thank you! Best regards Tom
Critical Edge Sync issue after Win11Pro reinstall – incomplete rehydration
A - ENGLISH VERSION Critical Edge Sync issue after Windows 11 Pro reinstall – incomplete rehydration, Device Info = 5, modules stuck Hello, I am experiencing a major issue with Microsoft Edge synchronization after a full reinstall of Windows 11 Pro. Despite multiple reinstalls, several days of waiting, and all possible local troubleshooting steps, Edge Sync remains incomplete, and none of my historical data is rehydrated. Below is the full context, timeline, symptoms, technical observations, and questions. 1) Full chronological context 1.1 – Full PC reset Clean Windows 11 Pro reinstall Sign‑in with Microsoft personal account Windows Insider Program activated (Beta channel) 1.2 – Edge Beta installed automatically Edge Beta was installed automatically without warning. I suspected it might be the cause of the incomplete sync. 1.3 – Leaving the Insider Program I left Insider only to try restoring full Edge synchronization. 1.4 – New Windows 11 Pro 25H2v2 reinstall Clean install Edge Stable installed Sync enabled Several days of waiting 1.5 – Result: sync still incomplete Even on Edge Stable, historical data never returns. 2) Symptoms 2.1 – Missing data No previous tab groups restored Incomplete history “Other devices” sessions missing Passwords visible in settings but not rehydrated No data from my previous Windows 11 PC 2.2 – Sync modules stuck In edge://sync-internals: Saved Tab Group: frozen for days Passwords: “Running” but no data rehydrated Sessions: incomplete Typed URLs / History: partial 2.3 – Device Info = 5 The cloud still lists 5 devices, including my previous Windows 11 installation. This indicates that historical data should be available. 2.4 – Last Synced active Sync is active, but missing data is never returned. 3) Technical diagnosis Everything points to a “consistent but incomplete” cloud profile state: Client sync works Server reports sync as healthy Historical data is never rehydrated Critical modules remain stuck Issue reproduces across multiple devices (Win10, Win11) This suggests a server‑side Edge Sync profile corruption, or a metadata divergence after: Insider → Stable channel change Windows reinstall Local profile deletion Edge Beta auto‑installation Microsoft account reconnection 4) Key question: Is Edge Beta limited in synchronization? I would like an official clarification: → Does Edge Beta restrict any sync modules? → Are Saved Tab Group, Sessions, or Passwords limited in Edge Beta? → Are there backend differences between Edge Stable and Edge Beta? If Edge Beta is not the cause, I will gladly re‑enable my Insider profile. I left Insider only to attempt restoring full sync. 5) Request I kindly request: → A backend analysis of my Edge Sync profile, to check: metadata integrity module states device list consistency possible corruption ability to rehydrate historical data I can provide: sync‑internals screenshots logs additional details multi‑device testing Thank you very much for your help. B - VERSION FRANÇAISE Problème critique de synchronisation Edge après réinstallation Windows 11 Pro – réhydratation incomplète, Device Info = 5, modules bloqués Bonjour, Je rencontre un problème majeur avec la synchronisation Microsoft Edge, apparu après une réinitialisation complète de mon PC Windows 11 Pro. Malgré plusieurs réinstallations, plusieurs jours d’attente, et toutes les procédures locales possibles, la synchronisation reste incomplète, et mes données antérieures ne sont jamais réhydratées. Je détaille ci‑dessous l’ensemble du contexte, les étapes, les symptômes, les observations techniques et les questions. 1) Contexte chronologique complet 1.1 – Réinitialisation complète du PC Réinstallation Windows 11 Pro “vierge” Connexion au compte Microsoft personnel Activation du programme Windows Insider (canal Bêta) 1.2 – Edge Bêta installé automatiquement Sans avertissement ni information, Edge Bêta a été installé automatiquement sur mon système Insider. Pensant que Edge Bêta pouvait être la cause d’une synchronisation incomplète, j’ai tenté de revenir à Edge Stable. 1.3 – Sortie du programme Insider J’ai quitté le programme Insider uniquement pour tenter de retrouver une synchronisation Edge stable et complète. 1.4 – Nouvelle réinstallation Windows 11 Pro 25H2v2 Installation propre Edge Stable installé automatiquement Synchronisation activée Plusieurs jours d’attente pour réhydratation 1.5 – Résultat : synchronisation toujours incomplète Même après retour à Edge Stable, les données antérieures ne reviennent pas. 2) Symptômes observés 2.1 – Données manquantes Aucun groupe d’onglets antérieur n’est restauré Historique incomplet Sessions “Autres appareils” très partielles Mots de passe visibles dans les paramètres mais non réhydratés dans l’interface Données provenant de mon ancien PC Windows 11 absentes 2.2 – Modules Edge Sync bloqués Dans edge://sync-internals : Saved Tab Group : valeur figée depuis plusieurs jours Passwords : module “Running” mais aucune donnée réhydratée Sessions : incomplètes Typed URLs / History : partiels 2.3 – Device Info = 5 Le cloud conserve encore les identifiants de 5 appareils : PC Windows 10 Smartphone PC Windows 11 actuel PC Windows 11 avant réinstallation PC Windows 11 Insider (Edge Bêta) Cela prouve que les données de l’ancien appareil devraient être disponibles, mais ne sont pas renvoyées au client. 2.4 – Last Synced actif La synchronisation est active, mais ne renvoie pas les données manquantes. 3) Diagnostic technique Tout indique un état “cohérent mais incomplet” du profil cloud Edge : Le client synchronise correctement Le serveur considère la synchronisation comme valide Mais les données historiques ne sont jamais renvoyées Les modules critiques (Saved Tab Group, Passwords, Sessions) restent bloqués Le problème est identique sur plusieurs appareils (Win10, Win11) Cela suggère une corruption du profil Edge Sync côté serveur, ou une divergence entre métadonnées locales et cloud après : changement de canal (Insider → Stable) réinstallation Windows suppression du profil local Edge Bêta imposé réactivation du compte Microsoft 4) Question cruciale : Edge Bêta est‑il bridé dans la synchronisation ? Je souhaite obtenir une réponse officielle : → Edge Bêta limite‑t‑il certaines fonctions de synchronisation ? → Certains modules (Saved Tab Group, Sessions, Passwords) sont‑ils restreints dans Edge Bêta ? → Existe‑t‑il des différences de backend entre Edge Stable et Edge Bêta ? Si Edge Bêta n’est pas en cause, je serai heureux de réactiver mon profil Insider. J’ai quitté Insider uniquement dans l’espoir de retrouver une synchronisation complète. 5) Demande Je sollicite : → Une analyse backend de mon profil de synchronisation Edge pour vérifier : l’intégrité des métadonnées l’état des modules la cohérence des appareils la présence ou non d’une corruption la possibilité de réhydrater les données historiques Je suis prêt à fournir : captures edge://sync-internals journaux détails supplémentaires tests sur plusieurs appareils Merci d’avance pour votre aide.
UI overflow in extension permission dialog on Linux (Gnome)
When installing an extension, the permission dialog renders incorrectly and overflows its container. The dialog content appears clipped and does not scale properly within the window. This affects usability because parts of the UI (text/buttons) may be partially hidden depending on window size and display scaling. MS Edge version: Version 149.0.3993.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) To reproduce: Open Microsoft Edge on any Linux distro using Gnome Navigate to the extension store Attempt to install an extension (e.g. AdGuard AdBlocker) Observe the permission popup dialogBookmarks are being forced into the active Tab Group (New behavior)
Hi there, I’ve noticed a very frustrating change in the latest Edge update. When I open a bookmark from the Favorites bar, it is now automatically forced into the currently active Tab Group. This behavior is counter-intuitive. For example, if I am browsing in a "Social" group and click a bookmark for "Gmail," I want it to open as a standalone tab, not as a part of the "Social" group. Currently, I have to manually drag every new tab out of the group, which is a major workflow killer. Disabling experimental flags doesn't fix this anymore. Please provide a toggle in the Settings menu to disable "Tab Group Inheritance" for bookmarks or revert this change. It should be the user's choice whether to add a new tab to a group or not.
MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS
Sidebar not syncing or accepting new app additions (+). Copilot button is dead/inactive. Sidebar settings are well configured. Using the latest version of the Ubuntu OS and MS Edge. Functionality appears to be absent as product was released without full functionality....Lame!
