But would I be correct in saying that this actually does not solve the problem? It just corrects the time? I, too, have seen this problem and disabled and re-enabled the time. Unfortunately, this has occurred several times since the last firmware update.
Well, I, too, rolled back the Surface Pen Settings driver, and, so far, my SPR03 has been much more stable. I believe that I have had one BSOD, and it appears to be coming out of sleep mode more reliably. Knock on wood.
Please be patient with my unfamiliarity with some of these terms and processes, but I didn't know that it was possible to "rollback" a firmware update. I know how to do a driver rollback but not a Windows Update. Suggestions?
Here's an update: I did have another BSOD D_P_S_F . And, although I put the machine to sleep using the Windows button > Power > Sleep procedure, when I opened the cover, it re-booted or re-started instead of merely awakening - all windows had been closed; some of them "improperly." So there...
I did notice that there was a new Intel HD 5000 driver installed yesterday according to my Update History. Since this update, I have not had any BSODs about driver power state failures (Fingers crossed). However, my SP3 does not seem to be handling sleep/instantgo properly. When it is...
There appear to be several pen related drivers - under Bluetooth, and two entries under Human Interface Devices. Is there a specific driver to roll back? Thanks for your patience with me and my lack of comfortable knowledge about these things.
