    Surface Pro 2 Issues


    All,Last year I purchased a Surface Pro 2 from a friend of mine. Everything was working great until earlier this year. I woke up one morning and I wasn't able to access Windows. When I boot up, I was sent to the UEFI screen. I couldn't get pass it. I researched this problem online as well as having my friend look at it. We can't find a solution. This is what I tried.sfc / scannowRESULT: "There is a system repair pending which requires a reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again." I did that and ran sfc again.....same result.Startup RepairRESULT: "Startup repair couldn't repair your PC"Refresh PCRESULT: "The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again."Reset PC (partition drive)RESULT: "Unable to reset your PC. The system drive cannot be found."Reset PC (don't partition drive)RESULT: ""Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing."I'm thinking I may need to replace the hard drive...i'm no expert though. Taking it in for repair is my last option. I don't really have the money to get another one. So....I'm hoping I can fix this myself. The Surface was originally running Windows 7, but my friend upgraded to Windows 10 when I bought it. If the hard drive needs replaced, any recommendations? Any suggestions??Thanks,CH

    :)

  2. Screen time limit in windows parental control doesn't work when battery saver is on!

    The issue persists.

    I verified all our PC:

    - 2 surface Book

    - 2 Surface Pro 4

    - 1 Surface Pro 3

    In all cases the issue persists.

    I think you should take care of this big protection leak!

  3. Issues Surface Pro 2 after update

    This morning I got an update with a "restart required" notice on my Surface Pro 2. I did the "update and restart" and now have multiple issues.

    Main issues are:

    I can not swipe from the right to get to the settings menu (and the screen is very dim so I need to adjust the brightness)

    All of my apps are missing from the task bar and I can not switch to tablet mode to see my apps (because I can not swipe right)

    The Windows prompt brings up a menu that I am not familiar with - all my normal programs are missing (I am able to open programs because I have Word and Excel documents saved on my desktop - so opening those will open the program)
