    Hating my new SPro 3 >:(

    IF after a clean install of the OS on your SP3, and then you continue to have issues when connected to random different AP's, then you probably have a hardware issue and would be worth getting the unit replaced.

    SP3 constantly hot until disabling Cortana

    Just sharing this in case it helps anyone. I updated to the current Win 10 build through Insider updates, and after RTM I noticed that my fan was running a LOT, when it rarely ran before, and it was running because my SP3 was constantly running very warm. Which was also unusual, my SP3 almost...

    8.1 Recovery image...

    Ok I tried to help this brother out, but getting the same issue! In the US, granted Alaska but on a 200mb/200mb fiber conection, 1 ms ping to the ISP and all that. It's definitely not my Internet or DNS or anything like that. Basically it works fine if I select I want the image for the SP3. I...

    OneNote Pen Spazzes out

    If the batteries don't resolve the issue, then most likely a hardware problem. If it was ME, I'd do a full reset first just to see what happens. Just to be sure that it isn't a setting or software. If I still had the issue afterward then I'd know it was a hardware problem. But that's just me.

    OneNote Pen Spazzes out

    The pen layer is separate from the touch layer on the display, so it's entirely possible that the pen input could be having issues while the touch is working just fine. Have you tried replacing the batteries, just for grins?

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install If you want to truly "wipe it clean" then you want to "Show all" and then "How to perform a clean install of Windows" at the bottom. When it asks for a product key, just "skip".

    The "30% CPU at idle because of System + Interrupts" issue

    I'm having identical issues, not sure about the audio part though. I'm going to go without the SD card for a while and see what happens...

    Solved Where did Paint go?

    Paint is still my go-to for marking up screen-shots, cropping images, and a couple other things. Very quick and handy, nothing I've found like it.

    Can I disable the Power button while keyboard lid is closed?

    Yes, huge issue for me. I'm a broken record now I know, but having an inverted or recessed power button on the SP4 would be so awesome.

    Solved What is Transmemory?

    What device do you have?? Do you by chance have a Toshiba USB thumb drive plugged in to your USB port?

    Solved another SP3 screen craps out

    I swear, that some people have a higher electric current in their bodies :D. Definitely understand your frustration OP!! But I have seen a couple posts like yours now where the same user goes through multiple touch displays. Interesting.

    firewall and battery issue frustration!

    Not sure what to tell you there, as I've rarely had to mess with Windows Firewall. But I have seen the issue a couple of times where a user installed something that had to modify the firewall (to allow an exception or some such) and that modification toasted or corrupted the firewall. Other...

    Been seeing this myself. Resource Monitor clearly shows it.

    firewall and battery issue frustration!

    The power button on the SP3 has always been one of my biggest gripes, and has been the source of many complaints by other users as well. It bumps on practically everything, so unless you have it in a case or some manner where the button is physically protected, then yes, if you close the cover...
