    After a recent update (Win10) I went to use the mail app on my SP3. As soon as it starts it crashes immediately. The option to uninstall via settings menu is grayed out so I used the powershell method which removes the app. Upon reinstallation it still does the same thing. Can anyone provide...

    Roll back to 8.1 files missing

    I believe my only option at this point is a factory reset, which I should still have in my recovery partition. What gets me is it still shows 6.29gb in settings\storage for previous version of windows. I also have; 5.02gb in windows.old 5.76gb in $windows~WS 205kb in $windows~BT.

    Roll back to 8.1 files missing

    Is there a way to accomplish the roll back without using the recovery console? I am thinking the media creation program screwed something up since I was able to proceed earlier but decided to wait until I made a usb stick and had the time to finish the roll back. I use my SP3 for work and since...

    After encountering numerous issues on win 10 with my SP3, I have decided to roll back to 8.1. However - the files to do so seem to have been deleted.

    Pro 3 Pen coming and going within seconds to minutes

    I had an issue with my pen too. While writing it would skip every once in a while interrupting my writing. Also it would just disconnect at different times when I really needed to use it. I took my surface pro 3 back twice now because of this and other issues. I am not quite sold on the new pen yet.

    Poll Returned SP3: received new or refurb unit?

    I am on my third SP3 so far in a one month time frame. Both times I took it back I received a new in box unit. The first one the screen was sunken into the metal frame, the second had issues with the lock screen turning on during sleep and draining my battery. The third one seems to be OK so...

    mass orders from industries, surface pro booming

    I agree, If Microsoft were to highlight the features as it relates to business uses and the modern mobile employee the surface Pro 3 would out sell the competition.

    I am running AutoCAD 2015 with 4gb ram on my sp3 without issues. Pretty sure you will be fine with 8gb if you decide to go that route.

    Having another issue with my SP3. When trying to insert a photo or file from within a program it tells me it cannot find the computer. Apparently the system is looking for my previous surface pro 1. I am not sure why these programs are looking for my old surface that I no longer own. The name...
