Hello, 

I am here with a question concerning more the device rather than the software - still hoping that I can get some help or ideas from other users:

I just bought a Surface Pro 8. When using it on a music stand (in portrait tablet mode) to read music with Mobile sheets it is standing on the volume buttons (or the other way around on the power button). Now I get the volume display all the time and any slight movement of the music stand changes the volume... I contacted Microsoft, but there seems to be no way to turn off the function of the buttons. 

Does anyone have the same problem? And maybe any practical idea or work around? Maybe I am just missing the obvious?

Thank you!
Anne

It is pretty easy to disable volume buttons on surface pro 8

• You go to Device manager
  
• Under Human Interface devices i have 4 Surface Button HID Control devices listed (if you have less you have to figure which one)
  
• Select 2nd Surface Button HID Controll device and right click on it
  
• Choose Disable device
  

And voila - it is not bothering you any more.

To Get the function back, just select the same device, right click it and select enable and it works again.
