Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

[mitchellvii]

Pretty sure that with the driver update pushed by MS @mitchellvii is going to be back soon on Win 10 Serial switcher.

Unless the driver has HD Control Center then no.

For those, like me, very frustrated by the not working PIN sign-up:

"From Somak Bhattacharyya, Program Manager for the Windows Team:


If you installed Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9926, you might have run into one or more of the following issues:

1. The PIN you set in a previous build was not preserved.

2. You are able to use the PIN to sign in, but you can’t change it in PC settings.

3. PIN doesn’t show up as a sign in option on the logon screen, even after creating it in PC settings. (This happens if you’re using a Microsoft account.)

4. When signing in with an Active Directory account, you see an “Object not found” error when you try to sign in using a PIN.


We apologize for these issues. Windows Insiders, like you, are helping us to build a new, truly great Windows. Unfortunately, the journey can be a little bumpy and you probably want to know what’s going on.


Until Windows 8.1, the PIN was a simple 4-digit substitution for your password. With Windows 10, we are building an entire infrastructure around PIN to keep your device and your services safer and more secure, while maintaining the simplicity of being able to sign in with a PIN. In the process of building this new infrastructure, we had to break some existing scaffolding. But not to worry, we’re working hard on this and will get the pieces put back together again soon. You’ll be able to enjoy the convenience of a PIN again in a flight in the near future. In the meantime, please use your password to sign in.


We understand how inconvenient this is, and we assure you of a speedy resolution."

Then, no ! Still no control center.

What's the number of the update you are speaking about @wynand32 ?

Edit: despite Netflix, this update has solved all my problems in IE11. Working perfectly now.

No number, just listed as "System Hardware Update - 1/27/2015". Came in along with the Intel HD drivers but won't install.

Never will be. Microsoft thinks we don't need it. Lame.

@wynand32 on the 27th I had the following updates:

** KB3035129
** KB3035034
** KB2565063
** KB2467173

But nothing coming with the Intel update tonight.

It should be built-in Windows instead of coming directly from Intel and MS should let us the choice to activate it or not. Personnally I don't think it is a usefull feature, but this is my opinion.

I didn't get KB2565063 or KB2467173, which seem to be related to Visual C++ so that makes sense. But strange that you don't see the hardware update--what model is yours? Mine's a Core i5...

Out of curiosity, what about it is so important to you? Really wondering, because I've not found it terribly useful...

 

[wynand32]

Question: is everyone's auto-brightness working? Mine was, but then it stopped working for some reason. I can adjust the brightness manually, so it's not that problem.

Well, then, weird. I'm seeing 9934 as well.
