I have a 128 surface pro 3 and the last build I tried was 10130. I rolled back to 8.1 due to number of bugs. With the release of 10166 would you say its worth the install? I have to re-image the machine so I figure now may be the time to switch to 10 (again ). I have 10166 running on an old Lenovo and things are running smooth. I was wondering how things are going for 10166.

Thanks,
Randy

I assume you mean you have 10162 on the old Lenovo?
So far I haven't any real issues with 10166 on my SP3.

10166 installedand still have apps that will only start if connected to the internet. No internet means they open the store and then force close. People app is still not working.

Under the people app it has an option to call a contact but when you click on it a window pops up saying "you'll need a new app to open this ms-voip-pstn." Is that referring to Skype?

A few builds back I saw a registry hack that allowed to turn on a dark theme for windows. Tried the old way and it doesn't seem to work. Anyone know of a way to do this or did it disappear? Tired of all the white screens...

Figured it out though it only works on a few screens like settings, was hoping it was for explorer and everything else but will take what I can can get

1. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize
2. Create DWORD key: AppsUseLightTheme

Speakers are still popping

To those stuck on:

System Firmware Update -5/14/2015

And cannot progress to new Builds because of it, try turning Bluetooth on. If Bluetooth is already on, cycle it off, then back on.
It seems the firmware has a component for the Bluetooth segment of the adapter hardware, and needs a little jiggle of the handle.

Just installed 10166 and it wakes up from sleep now, even while in the dock! Woot!

Seems like mine are doing that as well. When it's supposed to be asleep (sitting on my desk propped by the kickstand and with the keyboard cover closed), it'll make a popping/scratching noise. I was wondering what that was, thought it was maybe the kickstand settling in. But then I heard it will it was sitting on my bed with the kickstand closed.

That would make it a new issue for me since, I believe, 10158.
