Not the case with me. I joined the Windows Insider program and am getting the updates legitimately through their "Fast" track updates.

Can't you just open Cortana and type in Update? That's how I usually do it.

Ever since putting Windows 10 preview on my Surface 3, I've had a few issues. The biggest one was that any time I used the Edge browser for very long, the video driver would crash and I'd have to reboot. I've been on today's 10162 build for many hours now, with no crashing. Also, everything...

Cool-thanksfor that tidbit!

I respectfully--and most vehemently--disagree with the assertions that A) Windows 10 is not ergonomically designed for the tablet user and B) that it's basically just Win 7 all over again. When I tap the Start key or icon, I'm not greeted with a bunch of 2009 style tiny icons. My screen is...

Yeppers.

My main intent was to offer a solution that might work on either Win 8 or 10.......I've been using the Basic Microsoft Video Driver all day today and have not had any of the crashes or screen black-outs that I was having with the Intel drivers. The one downside is that the Basic driver resulted...

Correct.

I do believe it's probably something about the INTEL drivers, because even though I've not had that particular issue, I have had issues with my screen flickering and occasionally going completely black.... but usually only happens if I'm using the Edge browser. Have you guys considered going to...

I really like Windows 10 on my Surface 3....but does anyone else think that it's much harder to customize the Start Screen / Menu than it was on Windows 8 and 8.1? I find that if I try moving a tile somewhere, sometimes there seems to be something invisible that knocks other tiles that aren't...

Some of the notable changes I've noticed: * On my Surface 3, auto-rotate works finally (It's the first time I've gotten it to work on Windows 10). That alone makes it worth the update to me. * The ability to share notes that you've written on websites has improved. * On the other hand, I'm...

AmiDUOS is great if you're trying to replicate an Android look for your device. I prefer Bluestacks because I can pin individual Android apps on the Windows Start menu or desktop like a native Windows app. But I've tried both and like certain things about both of them.

I prefer News360 to Flipboard, and it's available from the Windows Store. As for The Washington Post, it was an easy matter for me to install Bluestacks and using it, install The Post app on my Surface from the Amazon App Store.

I was wondering if, once you got your Surface, you disc hovered a benefit that you hadn't even anticipated when you got it. For instance..... I just got my Surface 3, and I thought I knew all the reasons I wanted it. But I've been using it as my main device in my office and a usage began...

I got S3 the Typecover from Amazon. I'm still within the period when I can trade it back in for a different one for any reason. I got the blue cover. Any opinions about the best color.....both for "cool" looks and perhaps more importantly, which color will not show dirt as badly?

I'm using Bluestacks on mine and loving it. The thing I like about it, which I don't think is true with AmiDUOS, is that you don't have to go into the Android environment to launch the app. Bluestacks creates an APPS folder in the Windows area, and each Android app that you install gets its...

OK thanks, but I might wait and see if Microsoft releases a new build in the next couple of days.

And by the way, how did you get 10147? I can't get any thing other than 10074.

can you walk me through what yon did?

I use the pen when possible to interact with the screen rather than my fingers, because I hate smudges. But the real power for me lies in taking notes when I meet with someone in my office. I am the director of a mens addiction recovery facility, and meet often with the guys for one-on-one...
