Yes, same behavior for me: it first goes to standby for 1 or 2h, then it saves the state to disk and goes to this new fast sleep mode.

The Intel driver worked for me for a while. But the other day I was docked to the Surface Dock (the newest one) and I suddenly experienced a major crash of the video driver. Everything flickered on both the tablet and the external screen, then both went black. I forced a reboot with the power...

Me too. It seems the release date is unknown from retailers.

I think the big November update fixed this issue. Since upgrading, I have not seen this behavior anymore.

If installing updates and rebooting automatically on short notice is the best solution they have found to "protect users from themselves", at least they should have implemented an "advanced user" mode which behaves much like Windows 7 and gives choice. I've always installed all updates...

Re: Universal apps freezing on standby (Windows 10, SP3) I believe you are right, that is why I had the impression it does not happen systematically. It's actually only when the app is minimized. But this is still for me a major bug that they should fix ASAP.

Universal apps freezing on standby (Windows 10, SP3) Hi, Since I've upgraded to Windows 10, most of the time when my Surface Pro 3 goes to sleep or stand-by, most (if not all) of the universal apps (mail, edge, etc.) freeze. When I return from sleep, their windows are all completely...

Hi, The 3am reboot is OK for computers that are always ON (like my SP3), but I don't leave the desktop computer ON all the time, since it's located in my bedroom. Anyway, the worst is for me to "steal" computer resources to do these updates, although the computer is in use. Even the SSD on the...

Hello, I love Windows 10 for many reasons, but I hate it for at least one: automatic updates. How could they possibly implement such a dumb feature? It happened to me today: I boot my computer, start browsing with Edge, then suddenly everything freezes. The computer is almost fully...

Had the same issue on my 32Go surface 2. If you look in the PC settings app, you can see which apps are using which amount of data. Typically, one of the biggest contributor for me was the MSN News app. The cache can grow to more than 1Go and you have absolutely no control on it. I think this is...

Thanks, good to know at least that some other languages are already planned. Still, if you look at the total number of language configurations in the Windows settings, you can easily imagine that it will take 20 years for Microsoft to cover them all separately. Now I don't know how Siri or...

Hello, A question to the Windows insiders: what's the status of Cortana's availability in the latest Windows 10 builds? Is it still US only? Do you have to use the same annoying tricks than on Windows Phone (change region and language to US English) to make it work outside of US? I think like...

Hi, My Lumia 1020 died 3 weeks ago. I wanted to check my picture library, which turned up empty. Stunned, I tried rebooting the phone and quickly after the Nokia logo I had a message saying something like "no bootable sector found". It seems the flash storage died somehow. Since the phone is...

Just to let you know: I was previously reporting my Lumia 1020 getting slower and slower, and 1 week ago it crashed completely. I wanted to browse my picture library and discovered it was completely empty. Then I tried restarting the phone and I got a black screen saying something like "no...

Hello, Dead Lumia 1020 here as well... Storage access was always quite slow but became terrible in the last few days. I had a few unexpected reboots, some strange setting changes or missing chunks of data, and today I look at my picture library which shows up empty! I tried to restart the phone...
