So, what are your thoughts after installing the fall update on your SP3?
I'm liking it so far overall and appreciate the cleaning up and optimizing of the OS. Unfortunately, I have not seen any improvement in battery life (at least with early use so far). Web browsing (using Firefox) still drains mine around 15%/hour, compared to 10%/hour with W8.1. On that front, I am disappointed. I was really hoping for an improvement, but I (we) may have to just deal with it now. I guess ~6 hours on battery isn't atrocious, but it's a far cry from the ~8-9 on 8.1.
Edit:
A few quirks/bugs:
1. On-screen keypad pops up to enter PIN to login even though keyboard is connected and was previously used that way.
2. Occasionally, booting up after shutting down I'll still get that old problem with System and System Interrupts using a ton of CPU. A restart fixes the issue.
3. The notification icon doesn't clear after clicking the banner of the notification, or by opening the mail app (if it was a mail notification).
4. Airplane mode in action center shows as "selected", but it is not actually activated.
