Problem Fixed! I got on the Microsoft Customer support site and tech initiated a remote session. After about 40 minutes, he was able to clear out the infections and Edge is good to go now. Sorry to say I couldn't follow everything he did , so I can't repeat the procedure.

Thanks, everybody for the quick replies. I've ran Malware-antibytes in extended mode and Avast Premium. Neither one detected anything. I did a hard reboot. I even started using BIOS - no change. I'm thinking that I might have to get rid of Edge (have to find the app first) and re-install it...

I was on line yesterday and had 8 or 10 sites open on Chrome, which I use most of the time. I wanted to check on a travel question that came up without disturbing anything, so I popped over to Edge, which I hardly ever use. I don't remember the site that I was going to, but what happened next...

No network again! This time it happened while I was logged on and writing a note - max of 30 seconds away from the keyboard. Now it won't restore even after a hard reset. Looks like I need a location for downloading the driver on another computer. This really sucks.0

Okay! This one is demoted to regular Microsoft brain fart! I did a hard reset (hold down the power button for 45 seconds) and the SP3 decided it had a network adapter after all. How or why it happened, I guess the Shadow knows. Anybody have any ideas?

After using my SP3 all morning, I left it on and went out to run some errands. When I returned, I reentered my password and opened my email. NOTHING! No network and no network adapter, even in device settings. Where can I find the driver for the adapter so that I can download it and copy/install...

I had the same problem. After going thru the update, when the SP3 rebooted, it didn't start the wifi device. I did a full reboot (hold the power button down for 15 seconds or so) and it re-booted with wifi working. But now it says that the 9/29 update didn't install. Microsoft - can we get...

I tried rebooting after taking out my 128gig SDXC card. No change! It's interesting - the Surface pro 3, a device designed and built by Microsoft is starting to exhibit the same kind of "brain farts" that Microsoft always blamed on hardware manufacturers that used Windows software for their...

I was looking at the listings of updates that recently installed and noticed the following: System firmware update - 9/15/2015 Failed to install - 9/16/2015 1. What was the update? 2. Why didn't it install? 3. Is there a way to access it to attempt to re-install?

I just had the same problem. I tried a regular re-start. That didn't work. Finally, I ran disk-clean, both regular and system. Then I did a hard reset (hold the power button down for 15 - 20 seconds) and restarted the computer. This tactic worked and the update installed. I think this is...

Does anybody have a clue about the latest Win-10 updates that Microsoft has installed - KB 3081448, KB 3081449, and KB 3081452. There doesn't seem to be any info anywhere. This could could become the "Big Brother" scenario that some folks have been warning about.

I liked Win 8.1. I'm not seeing any remarkable difference between 8.1 and 10. So, I'm good with 10. I've disabled Cortana (not really suitable on a laptop) I felt the same about Siri on an iPad. Edge is OK, bit still a little raw. Chrome still gets my vote, technologically over any other...

Thanks, that did it. I had it in tablet mode when I detached the keyboard. It didn't pop back into keyboard mode automatically when I re-attached the keyboard.

Win 8 enabled me to have a desktop with my apps displayed. When I upgraded to WIn 10, that didn't change - until this week when a major upgrade downloaded. Now, I just have the old win 8 desktop with the active Microsoft apps displayed. How do I get back to the old desktop?

I upgraded my SP3 I5 4gig 128g yesterday. It was a total non-event. The upgrade went smoothly and about 45 minutes after it began, it was running Win-10. Thanks to all of the folks on the Surface forum that spent many hours trouble-shooting the preview edition(s) for the time and effort they...

Over the last few days my SP3 I5 128 GIG started to hang up just after I insert my password. The spinner keeps going around and around and never wants to stop. If I do a hard reset and restart the system everything seems OK again. But then, a day or so later, it starts to hang again. Any...

When I bought my SP3 in January, I thought it hadn't come with a Nib (it had come out and settled in the bottom of the packing). I contacted MS and a week later I received 4 replacements in the mail. Way to go MS! :-)

I've noticed that since the various Win 8.1 updates that downloaded this week that the speed of boot-up from a system shut-down seems to have noticeably improved. Has anybody experienced this change?

I posted this on the Surface pro 3 Forum, but this is a more appropriate place to put it. Along with the announcement of 7/29/15 as the release date for WIN 10, Microsoft has also provided a site to reserve your copy. Here it is...

Microsoft has just announced that it will release Windows 10 on July 29th. You can go to the Microsoft site and "reserve" your copy of the release. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-upgrade?OCID=win10_null_vanity_win10upgrade
