I've recently been using a surface pro 3 for my development. I love it as it works great on planes and when I travel. I had been having one issue with the network on sleep, it never returned and I had to continually reset it. I also found that sleep had been replaced by hibernate and it took 20 seconds to come back to life every time I left it alone for a few minutes. It turned out that Visual Studio 2013 installs Hyper-V.
This was a great explanation of the problem.

I don't plan on using Hyper-V so I can turn it off. Basically I just ran a command prompt as administrator and used this command.
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
as this blog is mostly for my own note taking purposes, I'm going to return here if I need to run it again or I need to turn it back on
Here is how I'm going to turn it back on.
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

Surface Pro3 Print Screen Button
I usually use SnagIt to great effect and it is a primary tool for me. I haven't installed it on my Surface yet and I was trying to figure out how to do a screen capture without it. There isn't a Print Screen button. The trick is pretty easy though. Press Fn-Space bar to capture the screen and Fn-Alt-Space to capture the active window.
