10135 has no updates offered and runs VERY smoothly for me. Maybe those struggling with updates should try that instead? Only downside is I had to do full wipe to get 10135 to install.

It seems these latest builds have had more strange bugs and quirks; I had Win10 running well on earlier builds but have had to go back to using Win8.1 as my daily driver.
I hope MS knows what they're doing. I mean I hope they know about all these seemingly different kinds of problems (Explorer crashing on shutdown, fan blowing, my Spartan windows disappear after a few minutes, cursor sometimes moves like it's sticky, takes forever to shut down, battery life and much more) and are planning to put in the fixes soon because if they are planning to roll out the Win10 update to EVERYONE running win7 and win8 as an update on July 29th . . .
Think of what a PR disaster it would be if after enticing millions of users who had win7 and 8 running well to take a free automatic upgrade to win10 and it trashes their systems.

Yep, that issue started for me with the update KB3058515. Hopefully they resolve that soon. I did a Windows Feedback for that.

I think I found an answer for so slow a shutdown and restart (from @Daimon at On/Off function in SP3).
I don't know if Win10 is supporting Fast Boot. I've been using shortcuts to shut down (C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0 or C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /p ) in Win8 too. When I shut down or restart in Win8 using the Power button on Start Menu it shuts down or restarts fast.

Volume shadow copies. I believe that it is on by default. Also restore points. Both are a good thing. But it eats drive space.

I did a clean install with the 10130 iso and the updates finally took.
Still really buggy. Tiles and start screen are still buggy, sometimes not allowing to move, sometimes I get the hang where the tile remains when going to desktop and the background goes away. Cortana isn't taking reminders/unresponsive. etc. Spartan crashing randomly.
Ready for a new, better build. Can't wait till those bugs are squashed.

OP
Suddenly noticed these three symptoms with Build 10130:
- Store crashes
- Windows Update continues searching for updates
- Could not "Hey, Cortana"
So I checked my Account information, and found that I needed to Verify my identity on the Surface Pro 3. Strange, but...
After clicking "Verify", I was sent to the verification step that includes sending a code to my smartphone.
After entering the code, the Surface Pro 3 went back to Windows Update, and downloaded several updates, some of which I thought I already had. Also included was the 5/12/2015 hardware update, and the June Cumulative Security update.
A restart came next.
Now Cortana is working again, the Store is syncing with my apps, and Windows Update shows that I am caught up.
(Note - I turned Cortana off, then immediately back on, to bring her back to life. No settings were lost.)
Even the Store updated itself.

Is anyone running 10135 having problems connecting to an external monitor?

The greatest mystery in these builds is how they can work beautifully for days, then suddenly go straight to complete crap for no apparent reason. For days 10135 was practically flawless for me. And today:
1) Fan blowing full blast for no reason.
2) Back blazing hot.
3) Chrome Beta a lagfest.
4) External monitor not working.
Honestly, what happens were this OS suddenly "breaks"? No updates, no nothing. It just "breaks". Truly bizarre.
