Did some start up testing on my Surface RT last night. Performed each test three times and used an average (although all times were +/- a couple seconds). All times are cumulative form start. Prior to each test I sent an email to a push account via my phone and verified on my phone that it had...

Good point. Yes, I am defeating the advantages of Connected Standby by disconnecting my Surface But as I have already seen 99.9% of those background updates on my smartphone, before I reconnect my Surface, not a big loss. Powering off/on is just to 90ish for me to swallow. Tonight I will run a...

Here is info you requested. There goes that connected standby again. Would be nice if that could be disabled in the registry with a simple 1/0. But I assume it's a bit more complicated than that. UPDATE: Looks like according to MS, Connected Standby CANNOT be disabled. Oh well. Regarding...

Thanks for the suggestion. That would be an option, but RT only shows three options in power settings; Do Nothing, Sleep or Shut Down. It uses Connected Standby, which is a really nice idea if you use your tablet every day (and charge it every night) like my Windows Phone. But for occasional use...

The Test.vbs file opened fine on the Surface RT. Got the acknowledgement message as expected. Regarding BAT files, I use them all the time to copy updated Access front ends from our server to a users C drive. I just executed a BAT on my Surface RT. It created a folder and copied two files to my...

Could the EXE with the keystroke instructions be turned into a batch file? I know that would run on RT. Can create a shortcut to the batch, with a link to your icons. Would love to put these on my Start screen to toggle Airplane Mode on/off.

This is the error message. Surface RT

No, but the Surface RT will not allow the EXE to run on the device. I assume that's due to RT only permitting App Store applications (actually, that's what the error message suggests). I tried your Network flyout shortcut (as mentioned in my updated post above) and that works fine. At least I...

How about a Windows RT solution Stumbled across your Airplane Mode toggle today. Thank you. But, the EXE will not work with Windows RT. As there is no way to disable connected standby on a Surface RT, having quick access to the Airplane Mode (wireless settings) toggle, or using a single click...
