Beforewe updated to windows 8.1 we could access the bios fine, the problem is now we have updated the surface rt, we can no longer access the bios even though pc settings. There is no option for UEFI firmware through this menu.

Windows RT is a mobile operating system developed by Microsoft. It is a version of Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 built for the 32-bit ARM architecture (ARMv7). First unveiled in January 2011 at Consumer Electronics Show, the Windows RT 8 operating system was officially launched alongside Windows 8 on October 26, 2012, with the release of three Windows RT-based devices, including Microsoft's original Surface tablet. Unlike Windows 8, Windows RT is only available as preloaded software on devices spec...


then it is not a surface, and this may lead to you down a different path to find an answer. MS has not made a atom based surface that runs RT to my knowledge, there is no need too as Windows 8.1 will run on an Atom proc better than rt 8.1 runs on ARM (with far more features and the ability to run 8.1 pro too). So, what device do you have?


As Windows 8 and its accompanying devices launch on October 26, you'll want to make sure you know the differences between the various flavors of the OS before purchasing a device or upgrade pack. Here's our breakdown.

I'm Shawn, a proud Surface Pro 5 user who wishes to get Windows 11 officially, it has outperformed Windows 10 during betas and the official version is great. but that had to be done through the registry.


I have a surface pro 1796, surface pro 5, 2017, what ever they want to call it. According to MS I'm not compatible for W11, is there a way around this? I looked at my requirements and it seems it the processor is not currently supported. Is that to say it will be in the future or is that just a nice way to say "get a new computer"?


@BroMikeBos It looks like Microsoft allows you to add a registry key to get around the TPM 2.0 and CPU compatibility check (though I think TPM 1.2 is still required). Haven't tried this myself, but one of the IT guys at my office has upgraded several otherwise incompatible machines this way.


I tried it on my SP5, and it worked, but the animations and the touch response were lagging just a smidge from time to time. But most importantly the battery was draining at an alarming rate. 5 minutes of just browsing the internet resulted in around 1-2% drain, without any other application running in the background. So going back to windows 10.


I have just received my Surface Pro 8 running Windows 11 that I pre-ordered. After setup, Windows Terminal does not appear to be installed. Therefore, I went to the Microsoft Store to download the application. I have downloaded it, and it works as expected, but it does not appear in the Win + X menu (right-click windows logo), see figure 1.


I have previously owned the Surface Pro 7, which I installed the Windows 11 beta on, and I knew that it has "Windows Terminal" and "Windows Terminal (Admin)" on the Win + X menu. It looked like this (see figure 2).


Since you are using a Windows Operating System, kindly try using CleanZoom to uninstall your Zoom desktop application: -templates/CleanZoom.zip



After that, reboot/restart your computer and try downloading a different bit.


I would really love to further help you out regarding this but since you have already tried the steps that I have mentioned, it seems that you really need to contact Microsoft or a local technician to take a look at it.



But I suggest trying to reformat your laptop/computer's Operating System, and see if that will resolve the issue, if not, you really need to reach out to Microsoft or consult a local technician.


I have been dealing with this for the past 6 months!! MSFT refuse to give my money back and keep sending replacement devices in exchange and asking me to do all this testing. Of course I have send one devise back. Been a complete waste of time. You and everyone here might need to resort to reporting this to consumer affairs or fair trading in your country. I am surprised no one has commenced a class action here.


I'm experiencing the same issue with a surface pro 7+. Have done all of the troubleshooting steps Microsoft has recommended. Might try this step that was suggested, but I'm experiencing the same issue with any video conferencing; zoom, Google Meets, telehealth.


I've been experiencing the same issue since April 2022! I've done all of the troubleshooting steps Microsoft has recommended and send back my surface with credit card deposit and it was complete waste of time. Class action would be the last way to solve tihs promlem...


I've just contacted MS support for the second time since I had experienced the problem. This time the support person says that they already know about the issue and the problem is due to the incompatible cord of zoom for surface devices. They say that zoom has to meet their code to the system requirment of suface devices such as laptop, pro7 and pro8. Only they can do is to tell me to wait for the zoom update.


Hey!! This was happening to me daily and I finally tried putting my surface back on Windows 10 and now it never crashes. Annoying that Microsoft and Zoom wont actually work to fix the problem, but if you can't get a new computer and need Zoom, try this.


Yes currently going through the same issue with surface pro 8. They replaced with the laptop version of the tablet. No blue screen but the new device gets very hot and the screen covers the keyboard in tablet mode unlike the surface pro. Microsoft refused to refund initially. They sent like 3 different surface pros despite knowing that there is an issue with zoom and screen sharing web cam etc.






This happened to me every day on zoom. I finally decided to put my surface back to windows 10 and now I have no issues. I think Zoom and Windows 11 on the surface just are not compatable which is ridiculous.


I also have a Surface Pro 8 with Windows 11, which has been having issues with software crashes when running Zoom (and complete crashes when starting Windows 11). I just tried disabling hardware acceleration as shown in the attached screenshot, and my meeting of almost an hour with turning on and off the sharing of my own screen was the most stable I can recall having (i.e., I did not have a crash of Zoom). Has anyone had long-term success by disabling hardware acceleration in Zoom to prevent crashing? My system might have been using more CPU and memory, but I can continute to bear the burden if there is long-term stability until Microsoft and Zoom resolve these issues. Thank you very much.


There have been updates and multiple disappointments in having Zoom crash on my Surface Pro 8 after sharing my screen. If I need to use my front camera on the Surface Pro 8 reliably, I use Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) to create a virtual camera for Zoom to access. It's not the most efficient approach, and it takes a few seconds longer to get started, but it has been much more reliable than having Zoom access the front camera directly. It is a pity that this issue has persisted.


I believe a Microsoft Update came with a new driver for the Intel cameras recently, but I haven't tested the updated driver with Zoom. If anyone has had success with their Surface Pro 8's front camera running directly into Zoom, please share. Thank you.


Sub-wavelength anti-reflection (AR) nano-textures etched directly into the surface of laser grade fused silica windows and lenses exhibit reflection losses down to 0.1% over wide bandwidths from UV-NIR. Because no dissimilar materials are deposited as with thin film AR coatings, there is no added absorption or surface heating. As a result, thermal lensing is reduced, resulting in improved beam parameters and long term stability. Extensive laser damage tests have shown significantly increased pulsed and CW laser damage thresholds compared to traditional thin-film AR coatings.


With no dissimilar materials used or deposited, the AR nano-textures exhibit no added absorption or surface heating. This results in improved beam parameters and longer lifetimes for these laser optics. Extensive laser damage tests have shown significantly increased pulsed and CW laser damage thresholds compared to thin-film ARs with damage thresholds equivalent to the bulk material. Typically, for pulsed laser applications, the threshold will be higher by 2-5x, compared to the standard thin films AR V-coating method. Testing results show that the nano-textured optics damaged at 35.6 J/cm2 at 1064 nm, 10 ns pulses, with 0.5 mm diameter beam. Untreated high purity fused silica was also tested and damaged at 42.1 J/cm2, using the same parameters. For applications in the CW regime, tests have been conducted under long duration CW damage testing at intensities above 15.5 MW/cm2, with no damage.


Using these standard cleaning methods will result in further contamination to the surface because solvent residues and debris will be forced deeper into the valleys of the nanostructures. These optics are best cleaned by solvent rinsing first with methanol or isopropyl alcohol or by immersion in an ammonia solution or simple soap and water bath. Aggressive cleaning can be implemented by immersion in acid solutions such as a mix of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. These cleaning techniques should be used with caution or ideally, not at all. Any cleaning should be completed by rinsing with isopropyl alcohol followed by air drying under cover or nitrogen blow-drying.


The two most common types of window graphics are first surface and second surface. First surface window graphics are placed on the exterior of the window glass facing the outside, and second surface window graphics are applied to the inside, also facing outside. There are pros and cons to each, which we'll compare later on.
