surface pro x for business needs constant graphics driver reset, how to fix?
I have a surface pro x for business that is up to date and has no company or IT restrictions, it is my device for home use and I have control of everything. I am noticing that whenever my device wakes up from sleep, restarts, or turn on after shutting down, I have to do ctrl+shift+windows key+B to get all the content to fit into the screen. For instance, if I have the microsoft store page open, and my windows are maximized (I even tried this on several browsers after minimizing and maximizing again) the bottom of the page at any given position does not fit the screen. Another example is ctrl+f, I cannot see that bar that searches and highlights the result or on word I cannot see the bootm row that has word count and language until I reset the graphics driver. I saw an optional update and it temporarily fixed it but the issue has returned. Any advice on how to fix this on windows 11 (I have the i7)?Surface Pro X - SQ2 - sleep issues related to Qualcomm Location (ACPI\QCOM0472)
Hi there, Been having issues with sleep on Surface Pro X SQ2. Essentially, when the lid closes, or it goes to sleep, it sometimes didn't wake up (needing hard restart) or rebooted / crashed during sleep. This has been going on for six or so months. I did a clean install which made no difference. After reading through event viewer, I think I have isolated it to ACPI\QCOM0472\0 - which is Qualcomm Location services - and the driver doesn't seem to install / has error messages related to it in device manager event viewer. I've disabled it in device manager and it seems to be helping. Presume its hardware related? Thanks

Should arm based surface devices use nvidia processors instead?
This might sound wired. But when I saw the Nintendo switch using a custom tegra based processor that can run mid resource intensive games while giving about 5 hours of battery life out of just a 16 whr battery, it surprised me. I kept searching nvidia’s website and found out that the tegra x1 on shield to is very powerful yet efficient. Although 10 watts may seem a lot, but it’s 20nm compared to today’s 5nm. Nvidia markets them as mobile processors, and scaling it down to 5nm means a lot of efficiency for the same performance, which should even give some headroom for to increase the power by a little margin to get some more performance. I know that the processor has older cpu and gpu but it can be simply made up by using today’s new RTX and arm counterparts.
pdf rendering issue in OneNote on the surface pro X?
I own a Surface Go, and have been test driving a Surface Pro X lately. The Pro X does everything fine, except some weird pdf rendering issue. I use OneNote for teaching, and as you can see in the screenshots below, the rendering is completely messed up on the Pro X. Both machines are running OneNote 16001.14326.20426.0. The Go is running Windows 10 Home 21H1 build 19043.1237 and the Pro X is running Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 build 19044.1263. The pdf-files open fine in Edge on both machines though, it just seems to be a rendering issue in OneNote (for arm?). I've also tested this on some machines using the OneNote web-app. And rendering is fine there as well. Any things I could try? (I tried re-inserting the pdfs, to no avail. I tried re-making the pdf's, using LaTeX, but to no avail) On the Surface Go On the Surface pro X
