Thanks for the suggestions. I am at a loss also, I can not install 1903 and the update junk says I am all up to date. Something is just broken here. I have had to re-image the system three times and have reset the system five times since purchase last Dec. Those were done during about 6 hrs on...

My surface pro 6 is running 1803. The updates are all automatic. I am connected to a MS dock with Ethernet. I noticed that the WiFi icon was showing when I am connected to the dock and supposedly using the hard line. Trying to turn off WiFi in settings just gets a spinner for 15-30s and then...

This is my final update. I deeply regret going down the Surface Pro 6 road. I was unable to install and activate some important software. These are all purchased but are 5-15 years old. Old software may be risky but that should be MY choice. What really is going on would typically be called...

Well, all is not well here. I am still trying to get the Surface Pro 6 to do what the Surface Pro 3 does. I am dealing with a string of software activation problems with programs that I purchased and have keys for but are 5-10 years old. Again, they work fine and install correctly on the Surface...

ender, I did get the firmware and re-loaded the factory settings and I finally have the upgrade purchased and the system is running. But I have to move the files piecemeal and then start installing and configuring every application one by one. No migration tool is available from Microsoft. The...

Hello, I don't see this as a Pro computer if it does not have Windows 10 Pro. I have Surface 3, 4, & 5 computers and love them all. And all are Win10Pro. I got my wife a Surface Pro 6 i5 128Gb to replace her Pro 3. This was a good idea and poorly executed on my part. What follows is my folly for...

I would just try it and see what happens. The first thing I did with my Surface Pro 2017 was to perform a restoration from the included system partition. There are several web sites with good tips on how to do that. That's your safety net. Also, after you load the older TrueImage I'll bet that...

I use a Camelback small pack and put my surface pro 2017 into the water bag bladder pocket. That leaves the main pack space for my camera, small stove and pot for tea, and rain/warm gear. It works great for me. Happy Trails

For another reason I wanted to roll back a firmware update from last fall but was told I could not by Microsoft support. I have not seen your issue with my Dock. If this happened to me I would measure the AC Voltage at my receptacle to see if it was low. I have had AC levels drop to 95VAC or...

I have still not found a way to get my WiFi to start at boot correctly. It now is almost always showing connected no internet. For me to use a system restore is not a good solution. I would have to try to go back to last Oct or Nov when I started to see this problem. I ran an sfc on the...

Sorry if this has discussed before but my searches just don't work. For 6-8 months I have had a minor but irritating problem booting. my 2017 SfcPro i7 will make a connection to my router but then not make an internet connection. I have updates on. I tried many suggestions involving IPv6 and...

It looks like my Dropbox link is not working here so I uploaded the picture.

I have had my 2017 Surface Pro since last July and just got around to resolving my trouble with connecting a microphone to my Sfc. I have six different mics and none work with the Surface 3 or Surface 5. Research and a dialog with one manufacturer revealed that all my microphones are likely of...

My Surface Pro i7 8/256 and MS Dock are practically worthless now. I had used them since last July to edit photos while on the road. Two days ago I noticed my Dock file transfer speed from the internal SSD to an external Western Digital Black 7200RPM 3.5" drive starts out at the typical...

Hello ashepherd, I don't know the answer to your question but wanted to share my experience with my Surface Pro i7 and the new port replicator. I purchased my i7 for exactly the reason you stated. I find that this i7 is great for photo editing and use it often when I am out on a photo trek to...

Thank you for the reply. Kaspersky isn't a requirement; It's just a preference. And to be clear, my Surface Pro is fantastic and this is not a Surface issue. It is a Kaspersky issue. Certainly for short term going back to Defender is an option. I don't fully understand application certification...

I have a wonderful new Surface Pro (i7) running build 1703. Unfortunately, my antivirus, Kaspersky does not recognize the touchscreen input so tablet mode is a big problem without a mouse. Help from Kaspersky says I should go back to .Net 4.6.2 from 4.7 which they think is installed on my...

Hello Nikita, There is only one recovery partition on your machine and it is the last one (5.27GB). I believe it is the original factory state. Don't delete any other partitions. They are associated with the boot process of the machine. On other computers I have downgraded the process deleted...
