My PC is a Surface Pro 4 and I've successfully generated a USB flash drive
with ifl_en_gui_x64 v3.21.

To boot from this flash drive I have to set the Secure Boot option in the
UEFI to either 'Microsoft & 3rd party CA', or 'none'. In both cases IFL
boots ok. However if I set Secure Boot to 'Microsoft & 3rd party CA' all
items on the screen are shown 1/4 size, which makes them very hard to read.
(If I set Secure Boot to 'none' items are shown correctly as normal size.)
I would prefer to have the extra security of the 'Microsoft & 3rd party
CA' option so I can set this permanently and not have to go into the UEFI
every time.

Another problem with this generated USB flash drive is that the booted
system does not respond to a right-click from the track pad. This makes it
difficult to shut down cleanly. (This happens regardless of the UEFI Secure
Boot settings.)

(I also have a TBWinPE generated USB flash drive [v3.21], and this boots
successfully with no size problems, with either of the Secure Boot
settings).

it has to do with a 4k screen. Interesting that "none" shows normal. As
far as shutdown, you can use the windows key to bring up the menu.

I hope this can be fixed in the next version. Let me know if you need any
more information.

Another problem I've found with this version of IFL is that the 'shutdown'
and 'restart' options freeze for 30 seconds showing the Linux command
prompt before being actioned. This happens on both 'Secure Boot' settings.
I hope you can fix this as well

I've just tried ifl_en_gui_x64 v3.22 and it is much better. Thanks for your
efforts.

However, some window elements such as the mouse, the top icon strip, and
IFL's menu bar remain very small.
(As well as the mouse icon itself being small, it takes many strokes on the
touch-pad to get anywhere!)

Other windows which remain tiny are:-
Terminal
Veracrypt
Editor
Tbiview
Tbosdt
Copyp2v
Osdtool
Tbidtool

I'm hoping these can be fixed in the next release.

Thanks again

those are all console apps, you can right click in the window and choose to
change font and select a larger font, it sticks with other console type
apps.

I think I mentioned that right-click doesn't work. Pressing the 'window'
key when over the terminal window just brings up the background right-click
menu. Clicking the icon at the left end of the terminal menu bar doesn't
show a font option. With the tiny font, those programs I listed below are
virtually unusable.

An interesting observation is that while booting with UEFI set to 'none'
and as all the Linux verbiage spews forth, after the Terabyte icons show
(one for each processor) the verbiage becomes a normal readable size. With
the UEFI set to 'Microsoft & 3rd party CA' all the verbiage stays tiny.

I hope this can be sorted out.
