  1. Surface book: Battery 2 (Keyboard) not charging and volume button opening ctrl+alt+del menu


    The laptop's been working fine over the past couple of years, but now it's just not working as intended.


    When i press the volume down button, it brings up the ctrl+alt+del menu.


    Battery 2 wont charge, online i've read that battery 2 is the screen battery, but when i remove my screen it indicates battery one being the one in use. This leads me to belive that battery 1 is my screen battery and 2, my keyboard. The device works as a tablet (without keyboard) and the keyboard is working fine, when attached.


    It's occured to me that I should update the drivers, but theyre "all up to date" and im caught at the dilema, if i uninstall the working battery, as opposed to the one that doesnt work, my laptop will die die.


    What should i do? (Note: i cant boot into bios)

    :)

    CTRL + ALT + DEL menu not rendered at the top


    Okay first of all.

    It is DEFINITELY not a RAM problem. I have 16GB. The operating system is running in the background and is responding when I press CTRL + ALT + DEL, cause you can see the circle next to the cursor. The cursor responds as well..

    Second, some people suggested me to use CTRL + SHIFT + ESC, I have not tried, but I will. Also this is not my problem. My problem is that the CTRL ALT DEL menu among which you can chose to turn on the task manager gives me black screen. Alt tabbing does not work with ANY software that is frozen in fullscreen, but that is normal.

    On windows 7 this was not an issue. When nothing worked, ctrl alt del always worked.

    On windows 10, CTRL alt deleting does not work, with some full screen applications.

  3. Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    On a domain you won't get Task Manager when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del. You get a crazy screen with a bunch of options.

    Ctrl+Shift+Esc has always brought up just the Task Manager, even back to Windows XP days. You just weren't aware of it. *Wink Surface book: Battery 2 (Keyboard) not charging and volume button opening ctrl+alt+del menu ;)

    Go ahead, try it in Windows XP too.
