    How do I keep the "Dock Bar" from coming up on my PC desktop. I have read all of the answers provided to date but to no avail. I cannot find the "Dock Application" in the Startup entries either. I have also clicked on the "PC Dock" when it is up but no settings come up to let me disable it. When the "Dock" comes up upon booting the computer, the desktop icons all go into a different configuration. This is a recent thing of about a month's duration. Help!!

    :)

    HDD Docking

    Hi Tonyo,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • What is the make and model of the docking station?


    The computer docking connections located on the bottom of the computer vary between computer models. For the docking station to work properly, the docking posts, eject mechanisms, and electrical connections on the docking station must be compatible
    with the connections on your computer model.



    Meanwhile, if the docking station is compatible, you may update the device drivers for your docking station and check if it works.



    Update device drivers for docking station:

    • Open the PC manufacturer support Web site, search for the
      Docking Station Driver for your PC model.
    • Install the driver suggested and check.


    If the issue persists, update the BIOS and try connecting the Docking Station again.



    Note:

    Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
    configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.





    Regards,

  3. Display dock as a PC?

    I am seriously hesitating between 950XL & Display Dock, Surface, Book, HP E3 and so on. MSFT, stop it! PC Dock will not go away. :)

    I wonder if there is going to be a Display Dock 2 with extra RAM, CPU and storage? Phone is not there yet to replace a full PC, but if combined with extra power from the Dock - why not? And then just a monitor/keyboard/mouse! It would be such a dream! No
    PC at all. I need some Win7 software for work, plus max mobility. Continuum sounds like a step in the right direction.

    Anything like this possible (or planned, or exists)?

    PC Dock will not go away.

    I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.

    1. I cannot connect to home Wi-Fi off the docking station but not on docking station.
    2. When i'm on docking station system says i'm connected to home Wi-Fi, but when i browse says not connected.
    3. Other devices connected to home Wi-Fi has no issue.
    4. What steps can i take to resolve the issue other than updating Wi-Fi adapter driver?
