Funny that. I am still on 8.1 and after reading about the problems with this update I decided I did not want to install it. So I hid the update. After reading your post I checked my "Hidden Update Folder" and guess what - it is not there. Nor is it in Windows Updates. So who knows what has...

Well in that case I guess we could call the people who work at Microsoft "Mirror" because they are always looking 'into it". Haha

One thing about Windows from Win 95 right thru to Win 10 is that Windows is a great time waster. I seem to spend more time fixing problems than using my Windows devices. It has gotten to the stage where I am going to give Microsoft the flick. I just do not have the time, expertise or patience to...

Not sure who copied who but in the year 2000 I bought an Compaq (now hp) iPAQ Pocket PC. I think it was a 3630 but not sure. Did Apple have any "i" devices then or did they pinch someone else's idea like they always seem to do?

It seems to me that you have more money than you have common sense. Imo no one in their right mine would buy a water damaged device like that. To quote an old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted".

Sorry Markos but you do not have a clue what you are talking about. Technical support is only for 90 days whereas warranty is for 12 months. Therefore the dates mentioned would be correct. I think you would be mad to buy this device. But it is your money. Are you aware that these units are...

The Surface Pro3 is covered by a 2 year warranty here in Australia as well as the Australian Consumer Law. I suggest you contact the Msft Surface hotline and explain your case. If you do not get any satisfaction (but I think you will) then you can contact your local Office of Consumer Affairs or...

Thanks for that info GreyFox7. The size of that folder was 5.6GB on my Win7 desktop computer and I ended up getting rid of it through Disk Cleanup. kb 3035583 appeared again in Windows Update so I right clicked on it and then clicked on "hide". So I will just leave it there with other hidden...

There are two things you can do. First: Click on the arrow in the tray on the bottom right hand side of the screen. On the screen that pops up click on customize and then look for GWX Get windows 10 and change the notification to: Hide Icon and Notifications. Secondly you can delete kb 3035583...

If you google the error code 0xC004C003 you will see a lot of results. Just see if any of them help you.

Have you tried this?: Open command prompt. Type netplwiz uncheck the box and type PW twice. Click OK and restart. Works for me.

Yes I have been thinking about doing that but as I am going away shortly I just cannot do it right now. When I get back at the end of the month I might go down that track and see what happens. Come mid September I will have had my SP3 for 12 months and I was going to do a factory reset then and...

Here, Here I agree. The white flashes only appeared after the May Firmware update.

Here, Here. I second that.

I have just "hidden" the last firmware update (23/6/15) so that it does not get installed. My machine was working great until the May firmware update - now after installing that I get white flashes when switching on or waking up the SP3. Damn incompetent Microsoft employees. I do not intend to...

Did you buy your SP3 new or second hand? It seems to me that it was a second hand machine. If so would explain why the warranty expires on 2/18/16/and tech support has already expired. Also how did you get a bitcoin virus? Was that on the device when you bought it? I think we need a lot more...

I know have four white flashes. One before the Surface Logo and three after. This is getting worse. If any moron from Microsoft/Intel is reading this then please pull your fingers out and fix the problem. I am convinced these people at Microsoft are nothing more than a bunch of incompetent...

Just switch off automatic updates and do them manually. I have had auto updates disabled on all off my devices for over 10 years. That way I can pick and choose which updates to install and which ones to hide. The last firmware update I have not installed and do not intend to. I know of certain...

This wifi problem since the last firmware update has been widely reported on the Whirlpool forums. I have not done the update nor do I intend too. So I can not report this problem. Another case of incompetence on the part of Microsoft employees imho.

I will not be upgrading to Win 10 for several months after release. I will wait and see how it goes. As it is a free upgrade for 12 months I will probably wait until late in the peace so that the bugs can hopefully get fixed. Although from past experiences with Microsoft going back to the mid...
