We all get new computers tomorrow - Monthly Tuesday update

[bluegrass]

Let's get some feedback here on the latest update. I look forward to getting a new SP3 every month full of surprises. How about you all.

Mixed feelings. Though none of the past updates have caused any problems for my SP3, I am always a bit apprehensive when MS issues updates - especially firmware updates. That said, I wonder if there are any firmware updates for the SP3 this time around.

I will be watching from the sidelines for a few days before installing the updates..

I'll venture forth headlong and install the updates when they become available and let the chips fall where the may

never had any problems so far, lets hope tomorrow is no differant

I'd be careful. the December SP2 update killed battery life and they didn't fix it for a month. I would set updates to notify-but-let-me-install

Are we talking about general monthly Windows Updates here or does Surface get some extra love? (only had a Surface device just over a week here...)

You'll love it. That is the Surface. I think there is suppose to be a major firmware updated tomorrow.

Hi all. I just made a thread about this, but wondering if anyone else here had the 8/19/14 firmware update REINSTALL!? today. I'm very confused as my system shows that it successfully installed on 8/20 and I honestly have felt some issues that I was having have been fixed. Then, today my computer says it has updates that will be installed on reboot. After a very fast reboot, my update history shows the 8/19/14 was installed again. I was wondering if it had something to do with getting ready for tomorrows updates but I think I may be the only one that has this happening. Any ideas whats up? Did the first one not install? I have not uninstalled or changed anything since 8/19

Zog. It didn't happen to me today but I have had the same thing happen to me in the past. It seems as though I may have had the 8\19 firmware install a second time but I just looked and my update history doesn't go far enough back for me to confirm that. It seems as though updates sometimes have a mind of their own.

I'm with raqball - I now wait as much as a week for everything except Defender updates - twice burned with automatic updates and the difficulty of removing faulty ones (I HATE THE REGISTRY!).

If we get a firmware update I just hope they fix the Bluetooth issues they caused with the 8/19 update.
