Windows 10 on Surface Pro 3 Fail

[ctitanic]

I just did a clean install of Win10 and half the devices, including WiFi are failing in Device Manager.

How is this even possible? Lol.

Any ideas?

Your should have done an upgrade. In order to reduce the size of the OS Windows is not including the huge amount of drivers that it used to include in the past. The SP drivers are distributed in a separate package that it seems to me that you already found thanks to this forum.

GreyFox, I think I want to have your children... Except I can't. Not built that way, sorry. So, okay, a coffee then. Or tea.

Alrighty, off to do my dual-boot install once again.

P.S., If you are running Windows 10, disable Windows Updates. They WILL BREAK WINDOWS 10. Wait for Windows 10 specific updates. I ran updates once and system wouldn't reboot.

I've not turned off auto updates and my SP 1st gen has gotten a couple things just fine.

I've received updates since installing, including one "Hardware Update" and three "Defender" updates. No problems.

Updates so far have been all for Windows 10 or NT 6.4....

Just got my SP3 this past week. Used it for a couple of days with Windows 8.1, just get a feel for it. Then I did an upgrade to Windows 10 Build 10074. I've had no problems so far, except for Windows Mail occasionally shutting down when I click on a link within a message. Everything else is fully functional, including the One Note button on the top of the pen. I've even been able to use my network printer with no hiccups. Seems like a pretty good upgrade so far. Looking forward to the next level of Cortland, also.

has anyone else noticed that mouse and trackpad movement isn't as fluid as it used to be? Perhaps I'm just imagining it, but it seems to me that fine mose/trackpad movement is not what is was. I'm using the touch cover and the bluetooth surface arc mouse.

@SteveMac , What version of OS?
