menu of older Windows versions, the Start menu of your Surbook has a useful
app area (B) to the right of the navigation list.
20
Here, you can "pin" apps and favourites in the form of live tiles and organise them.
This gives you quick and easy access to your most frequently used apps and content.
ADVICE
i
In the navigation list (A) you find a list of all installed apps in alphabetical order.
An alphabetic quick access to the navigation list appears when you click on a

27. Troubleshooting/FAQ
In the following, you will ind a list of frequently asked questions along with the
appropriate answers and proposed solutions.
Why is my Surfbook slow to charge?
If you charge the Surbook while it is under a very high load (for example, video
playback at 100 % display brightness and simultaneous suring, chatting or
games), the battery will charge very slowly due to the high load. We therefore
recommend charging the Surbook while it is switched off. This allows you to get
the maximum charging speed.
When I attempt to start a video recording, I get an error message and
recording does not start. What can I do?
Please irst install all available updates on your Surbook (see the question
FAQ "How can I install Windows Updates on my Surbook?"). If you continue
to receive an error message despite installing the updates, please contact
customer service.
Why does my Surfbook show less storage space than indicated on the
packaging?
The storage capacity indicated on the packaging and in the technical
speciications refers to the total storage capacity of your Surbook. However,
a portion of the total storage is also used by the operating system and system
applications.
Why am I getting no sound from my Surfbook?
You may have connected headphones to your Surbook. When headphones are
connected, the speakers of the Surbook are automatically disabled. Disconnect the
headphones from the Surbook in order to activate the speakers again. If there is still
no sound from the speakers, check whether the sound on the Surbook is switched on
and whether the volume is set high enough.
Why does my Surfbook just switch off sometimes?
If the energy level of the battery falls below a critical level, the Surbook displays
a corresponding warning. If you ignore these warnings, the Surbook is put into
sleep mode at a charge level of 5 per cent in order to counteract total discharge
of the battery. Total discharge can lead to a situation where it is no longer
possible to charge the Surbook. For this reason, connect the tablet to the
charger at this point at the latest in order to prevent data loss and damage to
the battery.
31
My Surfbook won’t switch on. What can I do?
The battery may not be suficiently charged to allow the Surbook to switch on.
Connect the Surbook to the charger (see Section 9) to recharge the battery.
How can I install Windows Updates on my Surfbook?
Your Surbook checks for new updates daily (an Internet connection must be
available) and displays an appropriate message in the Action Center when
new updates are available. To ensure your Surbook is always up-to-date, it is
therefore extremely important to connect the Surbook regularly to the Internet
(see Section 17). If you selected the "Express settings" option in the start
assistant when you switched on for the irst time, the Surbook automatically
performs available updates when you shutdown (download and installation).
You can change this setting at a later point in time. To do this, call up the settings
(see Section 16) and select the method used to install updates under "Update & security" →"Windows Update" → "Advanced options"
What can I do if the internal storage of my Surfbook is full or almost full?
To relieve the pressure on the internal storage of your Surbook and free up
storage space, you can transfer media iles stored on the Surbook (for example,
images, videos or text iles) to an external storage device (for example, a USB
stick or suitable memory card) or you can delete apps that you no longer require.
28. Glossary
Apps/Applications
An app (abbreviation of the word "application") or application is a program
that you can download from the Windows Store, for example, and install on
your Surbook. Games, programs for playing back images and music iles, word
processing programs and a lot more are available.
Audio Out/Mic In
This description of the audio port on your Surbook indicates that you can
connect simple headphones or earphones (audio signal out) to the port as well
as a headset with microphone (audio/microphone signal in).
Bluetooth®
Bluetooth is a standardised wireless interface on your Surbook that enables a
wireless exchange of data between your Surbook and other suitable peripheral
devices.
32
HDMI®
HDMI stands for "High Deinition Multimedia Interface" and is a cable-based
interface for digital image and sound transmission to connected HDMI-ready
peripheral devices. Using a suitable HDMI cable, you can, for example, play the
videos stored on your Surbook on an HDMI-ready television without having to
irst save the videos on your television.
Microsoft account
"Microsoft account" is the new name for the previous "Windows Live ID". Your
Microsoft account consists of an e-mail address and a password that you
need to sign into services such as Outlook.com, OneDrive, Windows Phone
or Xbox Live. If you use an e-mail address and password to sign into these or
other services, this means that you already have a Microsoft account. You can,
however, register for a new account at any time.
Scrolling
Scrolling refers to the act of moving the screen contents either horizontally or
vertically. You can scroll by using the scroll bar or by using the scroll wheel on the
mouse.
Task bar
The task bar is the horizontal bar found at the bottom of your Surbook. Unlike
your desktop, which can be covered by opened windows, the task bar is almost
always visible. The task bar therefore provides you with constant access to the
important functions and settings of your Surbook plus an overview of all the
windows you have open.
USB
USB stands for "Universal Serial Bus" and is the name of a cable-based interface
on your Surbook. It is used to connect peripheral devices and exchange data
between your Surbook and external devices such as a USB stick.
Windows Store
The Windows Store is an online store offered by Microsoft with lots of useful
and interesting apps that you can download to your Surbook. See the
"Downloading applications from the Windows Store" section for information on
how to download apps from the Windows Store. Please note that you need to
pay for some apps (paid apps are clearly labelled as such in the Windows Store).
