    Welcome to the new Surface Book forum

    FYI, the vaio Canvas tablet will run circles on this thing on CPU extensive tasks ignoring throttling issues: Quad Core i7-4770HQ on the canvas vs i7-6600U on the surface book. The i5 Surface book is only 13% better than my SP3 i5 on RAW CPU performance: Microsoft Corporation Surface Book vs...

    CPU/GPU Specs, Why no info?

    Excluding GPU, there's too much hype about the i5 surface book CPU performance: It's only 13% faster than my SP3 i5 at maximum potential which is subpar for a 6th gen CPU with a much higher base clock (2.5 GHz - 3 GHz Turbo vs 1.9 - 2.9 GHz Turbo on the 4th Gen i5). It'll be a different case...

    New Firmware Update 9/29

    No such packet loss issues on mine. Tested with 2 hour streaming of a lossless 25 GB Blu-Ray movie file attached to the USB in the router played using movies and tv app. Streaming is as perfect as it could. Speed is still amazing. It can still transfer over 300 Mbps internet wirelessly from router.

    Once you open store, updates should show up but won't automatically install. However, if you don't open up the store, you won't see that you have updates.

    New Firmware Update 9/29

    Just nature of the beast of Windows. Same exact hardware but different software configurations can make or break a Windows update. This is why rich people switch to Macs for personal use

    System Running High RAM

    Also, per your screenshot it seems that wudfsvc or Windows Driver Foundation – User-mode Driver Framework is what is causing your excessive CPU and Disk usage too.. I'd try a clean boot restart for sure.

    System Running High RAM

    Dunno... I don't use Edge since it is easily hacked by ransomware while IE has TPL and ActiveX Filtering that stops all of browser hijacking attempts. I'd try doing a clean boot and see if it helps with your RAM use while in the dock: How to Clean Boot Windows 10 and Windows 8

    System Running High RAM

    Mine is silent when idling while on the dock. Ram use is 1.7 GB out of 4 GB RAM with 8 Tabs on IE: System is only 50 MB of RAM use

    Check your system power draw using Kill A Watt. If the total power draw is about 35 W while gaming, the battery will get discharged.

    Surface Pro 3 i3 64GB HEAT during normal activity and warranty date

    There has to be something consuming so much of your CPU to have a 60 degrees screen temperature. You need to diagnose of your running programs and see which is the number 1 CPU hog.

    Surface Pro 3 and wireless ac

    Try following this thread here: Solved - New Surface user, terrible 5GHz | Page 2 | Microsoft Surface Forums BTW, Marvell isn't a piece of crap. Intel WiFi is crap though. No issues whatsoever on 5 GHz using the Linksys WRT1900ACv1 (also uses Marvell chip like SP3).

    Solved New Surface user, terrible 5GHz

    You do need a reliable WiFi router though if you're subscribing to a high bandwidth service :). This is my main reason for buying Linksys WRT1900AC despite having the least amount of features for the price. IMO, Reliability/Stability is more important than features. I'm just showing off that...

    Solved New Surface user, terrible 5GHz

    I primarily use Linksys WRT1900AC version 1 which also has a Marvell chip on it. Marvell based router connected to Marvell based adapter (SP3) = Zero WiFi issues (at least on my end).
