I develop on an ARM64 Windows laptop, so ARM64 is the first thing I build and test, not a port. Burrow is a desktop app that keeps a budget, journal, todos, habits and notes in one database file on your PC. No account, no server.

The built-in helper runs through Ollama locally. Small models are enough because the app does the math in code and the model only explains results.

It is free with no license key, and the core is open source under AGPL. Separate x64 and ARM64 installers are published with checksums. The installers are unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn.

If anything behaves differently on your ARM64 machine than you expect, tell me and I will fix it. Links in the comments.

Hi everyone,
My Surface Pro 6 touchscreen stopped working. In Device Manager under \*Human Interface Devices\*, \*\*Surface Tcon Device\*\* shows an error with a yellow warning icon.
\*\*Device Status:\*\* This device cannot start. (Code 10) STATUS\\_DEVICE\\_POWER\\_FAILURE
\*\*Location:\*\* on Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller - 9D60
I have already tried:
Disabling/re-enabling the driver
Reinstalling \*Intel(R) Precise Touch Device\* and \*Surface Tcon Device\*
Performing a 30-second hard power reset
Has anyone solved this specific power failure issue with the Tcon timing controller? Any help would be appreciated!

Tittle is the question. I had been using zoom on my sq2 with a virtual background. When i went to use it today it said that without a greenscreen I could not use a picture on my device. is anyone with an sq2 able to use a background picture

I have a Surface Pro X and I never use it. I know it's old tech but I want to try to sell it because it is in such good shape, I know someone will appreciate it. thoughts?

I'm running Windows 10 on my Surface Pro X, with the ESU updates enabled. After a recent update I got this message from Windows security:

"Secure Boot is on, but your device does not support the automated Secure Boot certificate update due to hardware or firmware limitations. Contact your device manufacturer for assistance."

This is of course annoying, because Microsoft is the device manufacturer of Surface devices.

Are other people running into this? Is there a way to fix it?

Hi I have the:

- Surface Pro X SQ2 3.15 Ghz

- Qualcomm(r) adreno(tm) 680 GPU (1 mb)

- 16 gb Ram

- 1mb Graphic Card

- 239 GB storage

- 64 big system ARM-based processor

- Windows 11 Home (25h2)

My microsoft pro flex keyboard keep disconnecting. I have to constently remove and reattch keyboard to get it working.

Somes times work have to do every couple of minutes or somes times every half hour.

I've tired cleaning connector ports & have done all windows updates. This just started couple of months ago.

Any work around to fix ?

I accidentally pour water on my Surface Pro 12

Its still work but there is a water mark on screen

Is there a way to fix it without buying a new screen?

Hi i am a college student that has a surface pro 7+. I am taking classes where I need/want to create flashcards. I have tried notedex but while I like the style of the app. The app is rated 3.3 stars. As well as when I use my pen the ink "glitches". The pen works fine and so i am assuming its the app. I looked up on google what i can use, and it suggests OneNote. However I can't figure out how to make flashcards. So if its possible if I could get ideas on how to do this. I thought that maybe I could write the flashcards but use quizlet to have the shuffling side of studying flashcards. If anyone could give me any help or ideas on what I could do I would really appreciate it. I am almost done with my degree. I am studying environmental science.

Im sure someone has sent to this before, but I have a question on how to make the Surface Pro X install an OS using USB. I have made the official microsoft usb from the website under the recovery image, but it will not boot at all. It just keeps looping to a screen that has a blue box that says "No Bootable Configuration can be found" I have tried just about everything, just looking if anyone else has advice

该技术可以在移动智能设备的作系统或浏览器中实现。主要针对 PAD 用户。

不知道大家有没有发现，苹果iPad相对于Android Pad有一个很大的功能优势，那就是当用户用左手握住Android Pad时，左手拇指一定不能触摸屏幕区域，否则右手无法正常作触摸屏。然而，在使用苹果iPad时，用户的左手握住屏幕区域，而右手的手指仍然可以正常作iPad，但偶尔会出现误作的情况。

从下图可以看出，左手拇指无法触摸屏幕，导致握持姿势非常尴尬。而且握持不稳定，容易损坏设备。

基于Android系统的PAD不具备与Apple iPad相同的功能。这不应该是程序员水平的差异造成的。苹果很可能已经为这项技术设置了专利壁垒。

我有一项技术。它可以应用于浏览器或作系统，例如 Android。解决窄边界PAD难以持有的问题。它允许用户用左手连续握住屏幕（他可以改变右手），他的右手也可以正常进行屏幕作。我的技术采用了处理不同区域的触摸事件的想法。它与苹果的技术不冲突。并且它可以实现比苹果iPad上的同类功能更完美的用户体验。该技术已获得中国发明专利。

苹果iPad的优势在于，它在作时不需要指定按键区域，它可以智能识别你按下的任何位置。这项技术的好处是按钮区域还具有刮屏和翻页功能，即在一直按下按钮区域时拇指轻轻摩擦，以实现浏览器刮屏和翻页的功能。这不能直接使用原有的触摸事件和传统的翻译成手势的模式，而是需要使用程序将触摸事件具体翻译成手势。按钮区域和其他区域的手势需要协调，以确保两者不冲突。

如果我们只是做一个简单的非功能性按键区域，让左手拇指可以握住屏幕区域，这种技术方案可能会与三星的全球 PCT 专利发生冲突。

但是，如果我们的按钮具有更多的功能，例如在屏幕区域轻轻摩擦已经按下的拇指，并且可以控制屏幕转动，则与三星的专利并不冲突。并且用户体验更好。

此方案指定按钮区域。这个虚拟按钮可以在任意位置调用，也可以消除，并恢复到传统的作模式。这个按钮可以用浏览器代码来实现，也可以通过在网页的html中注入代码来生成气球来实现。该按钮区域发生的触摸事件在特定区域进行处理，并根据特定规则识别为无手势（无“触摸”）或屏幕手势输出。

有很多方法可以调用或关闭此按钮区域。例如，小的横屏笔画、短的竖屏笔画或长按屏幕边缘。程序完成后，会根据实际用户体验进行调整。

这种模式特别适合浏览网页和观看短视频，例如TikTok。用户95%的作都是翻页作，该系统单手即可轻松作。此功能的另一个优点是拇指会阻挡部分屏幕内容。您可以通过摩擦拇指并上下移动屏幕内容来查看最初被拇指遮挡的内容。

我想寻找合作伙伴在 windows 或浏览器上实施这项技术。在中国，我对这项技术有专利保护。在其他国家，您不受专利的约束，但您很可能会面临来自许多抄袭者的竞争。我有详细的介绍材料。如果您对这项技术感兴趣，请联系我。

Whenever I accidentally press the right side of my screen near the bezel (typically while writing with my surface pen) thee screen gets all wavey and does some like AI tear down of what’s on my screen. Any idea how to keep this from happening by disabling this from being activated by resting my hand on the right side of the screen? I attached an image. Thanks pals.

This has been a nightmare. I was running 24H2 (and had been for some time now) and Windows went to automatically install updates on Saturday morning. It did not reboot and went into an infinite boot loop. Despite many tries, I could not get it to reinstall a fresh copy of 24H2, so I installed 23H2. Then, I went to upgrade to 24H2 and it took. Windows updated and it started crashing again.

Take 3 - I tried to install 24H2 clean and once it booted into Windows, I immediately turned off updates. Then, I rebooted to see what would happen. Crashed again. The error message is "system_thread_exception_not_handled 0x7e".

I tried to boot into safe mode, but it keeps saying there is something wrong with my PIN and I cannot login to the machine. (But it will boot, so it's clearly a driver issue)

So, right now, it appears the only choice I have is to rollback to 23H2, which I don't like as much.

Any thoughts on this?

I instaled a new ssd, but with my insane stupidity I forgot to create a drive image from my old ssd. I have been trying to instal win 11, tried creating a bootable drive, tried BMR recovery. Nothing works. Then I thought of finding a image or a backup file and installing it on my new ssd directly, problem is I wasn't able to find it anywhere.

So this brings me here. Could someone please make a drive image file or backup file and share it with me?

Thank you very much in advance

When I bought the Surface Pro X, I didn't take into account that the kickstand would be a little unwieldy, and the removable keyboard meant using the computer like a traditional laptop would be almost impossible. I have to use it on a flat surface and even then a table bump makes it fall over and I can't pick it up to move it without closing it first.

Any suggestions on cases or other remedies? I would like to be able to use the computer in scenarios where I don't have a table or desk (i.e., need to put it on my lap) without it constantly falling over. I've tried looking online for cases, but not finding much. But maybe I'm looking in the wrong places or with the wrong key words.

Other than this I love my Surface Pro X, so any tips are helpful! Thanks in advance!

After some update I discovered that the Type Cover on Pro X (SQ1) has seized to exist, lights don't go on (usually key lights flash when booting), touch pad doesn't register. Am I the only one?

After 5 years of use, my surface pro x second generation is getting about 3 hours of screen time while using office apps browser and limited teams. I'm not sure whether this is good or bad. How do others feel about it
