Windows 10: How to change startup profile in windows on a MS Surface pro that is .automatically...

I have just left a company which provided Office 365 licences on my MS surface pro laptop. I have purchased my own 365 licence and loaded all the apps on the laptop. It appears that when I start up the laptop the old unlicenscend company profile loads, so the desktop and the settings relate to this profile. All apps running like outlook, edge and copilot open in the new profile but I cant find how to load the new profile at start up. Can anyone help?

Hello
AvinashSinha1,

Just to confirm, do you have a MS Surface Pro 2017 running on Windows 7 or Windows 10?

Also, please answer the following questions below:

• Did you notice any system changes on your Surface prior to the issue?
• Have you tried using all available USB ports on your Surface?
• Have you tried to connect your external hard disk to a different PC?

As an initial troubleshooting, I suggest that you download and run the hardware and device troubleshooter. Please refer to this
link.

If the issue still persists, I suggest that you uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager. Once you restart your PC, Windows will try to install the drivers automatically.
If Windows is unable find a driver for your device. you might want to check the manufacturer's website for a driver or update for the device, or try installing any software that came with the device.

We're looking forward to your response.

 

MS Surface Keyboard Cover not recognized by MS Surface Pro 3

My Surface Pro 3 cover mysteriously stopped working (other USB keyboards work).

I’ve exhausted all of the steps from the Internet and am hoping for some advice here on what to try next.

• Clean the metal pins on both the keyboard and the Surface Pro 3 with alcohol swap and q-tip.
  
• Performed the standard two button shutdown procedure - Force a shutdown and restart your Surface - Microsoft Support
  
• Update "HID keyboard" device in Device Manager.
  
• Uninstall and reinstall "HID keyboard device" in Device Manager.
  
• Removed HID keyboard device in Device Driver and manually installed Surface Type Cover device (which later automatically turns to "HID keyboard device" when you hit "update drivers")
  
• Updated all Windows 10 patches to date.
  
• Tried a brand new keyboard (Microsoft FMM-00001 Type Cover for Surface Pro https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073W4MPJF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
  
• Updated firmware for Surface Pro 3 (typed in “winver”, took that Windows version, then downloaded the specific patch required here - Download Surface Pro 3 from Official Microsoft Download Center)
  
• Reset Surface Pro 3 while keeping personal files
  
• Reset Surface Pro 3 and deleted all personal files
  
• Performed hardware tests on aka.ms/surfacerepair (nothing bad found; all looks ok)
  
• Drained the battery most of the way before connecting again - the two times it worked momentarily these last few days was when I connected my new type cover keyboard to the Surface Pro 3 after the battery had died down to below 50%; a simple reboot later, everything stopped working. This user seems to have the same problem with it working briefly when there is low battery - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...pe-cover/52f983c6-2e53-49fa-aac6-7c4cc5d25d9f )
  

A breakdown of the steps I've done to sometimes get it working

• Leave Surface Pro 3 on about 2 hours on battery only.
  
• Power on Surface Pro 3.
  
• Working Keyboard.
  
• Turn off Surface Pro 3 (or reboot)
  
• Keyboard not working anymore
  
• Another similar user here - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...er-issue/2d6ed60a-c892-4ed9-907f-846fd9496f5a
  

Can anyone recommend any other troubleshooting steps? One of these steps seemed to work ok for others having this same problem.
