@Relativity nailed the problem. Enabling "Hey Cortana" fixes the high System Interrupt CPU usage (on up to 2 logical processors at a time that I have seen). I'll attempt to reinstall the Microphone Array drivers or find another work around as I do not want the "Hey Cortana" feature turned on all...

Yes, your work around eliminates the CPU usage I was seeing. I bet most people don't even know this is happening. My battery life thanks you! I am going to research to see if there is an actual fix. Related thread... CPU load high when docked - Although, this happens when I am docked or not.

Without security updates, it really starts to become a liability. I'd advise only connecting it to a separate isolated virtual network or, at the very least, a guest network. There may be life left for it after your app options die. I took an old phone and made it into a HVAC controller and...

Search thought the forum here, many suggestions for this already.

I truly feel your pain. Unfortunately, there is a point of diminishing returns for companies to continue supporting older hardware/software platforms. Traditionally Microsoft has a minimum support to EOL (end of life) that averages around 2-3 years from a product release date. Sometimes more...

I think it works for both.

Have you set the Dell as the main display in Settings / Display?

Do you have the Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse app installed?

jojoB3, Have you received the Fall Creators Update on your SP3 yet? I finally got it installed on an SP3 and it is running much smoother and with a lot less CPU activity.

Ross: Good to hear! Let us hope she sticks!

My first guess would be to re-calibrate the pen & screen... Control Panel / Tablet PC Settings

jojoB3, This is very interesting. Could you post all the info about the SD card you can? Brand, size, class, year, specs? I am curious because I am having a separate issue that may involve SD cards.

MacSilva: Do you happen to use a docking station with it at all? If so, try booting it with the button combinations in and out of the dock. If you have used more than one type of dock, try them all. I am curious that it may be expecting some external hardware peripheral configuration during...

Try some of these suggestions.

I've automatically gotten it on some small tablets, but not my SP3 Pro yet. One of the tablets is GLIIIIIITCHY... considering a re-install on it soon. Not in a big hurry to force install it on the SP3 Pro yet.

I just can't see the trade off if you NEED i7 performance. I use my phone with LTE as a hot-spot, so I really don't see the need for it on the computer other than another bill and a little less hassle. Maybe if you needed more data per month (phone hot-spot data + embedded LTE data) or having...

My Surface Pro 3 / Club 3D combo was an intermittent problem until I did these things: Removed, then allowed to auto-install the Intel graphics drivers. Made sure these where the latest from Windows Update. Updated the firmware in my Club 3D (SUPER IMPORTANT) Kept the Club 3D cool. On...

I am completely guessing here, but the "Connected Standby" mode is what "most" people seem to want, but not us tweakers. I agree that there should be a notification or an option about this change when you upgrade.

MacSilva: Upon start/restart, do you at least get the word "Surface" with the spinning dots animation? If so, I would try toaf's suggestion first. There are several reasons that an external monitor connection might help; some of which are: It may be defaulting to an external monitor as the...
