I don't think we're going to get a leak....

First, I find it fascinating how much better 10130 is on my homebuilt desktop than on my SP3. A bunch of random parts compared to Microsoft's own hardware. That's a bit counterintuitive. Second, if you're using Win10 Mobile 10149 on a Windows phone, then you should consider 10130 on the SP3 to be miraculously stable and full-featured.

I saw a rumor about a new build on Monday. Just FYI, for what it's worth.

Well, my sp3 is borked as of today. had the BT issue, restarted, and now after logging in, it just sits on the spinning dots (its been there for 7 hours now) and if i shut down it then just sits indefinately with spinning dots saying shutting down.

. . .how do i boot from usb if i cant use software to chose a diagnostic boot up etc?

Have you tried this?
Step 1: Attach a bootable USB device to the USB port.
Step 2: Press and hold the volume-down button.
Step 3: Press and release the power button.
Step 4: When the Surface logo appears, release the volume-down button.
Surface will start the software on your USB device.

Leaked releases are no good for me.

I only install releases via Windows updates.

I don't trust " leaked " versions which can easily carry very bad code and malware.

Sorted

So for anyone else who experiences hanging on login with a never-ending spinning circle, and the corresponding inability to shut down. I had to power up and then do a restart. Worked perfectly.

Make sure your USB boot drive is formatted as FAT32 and not NTFS.

Edit: clarifying that I'm talking about the USB drive.

most of us get our builds from trustworthy sources... but then yea, of course, we also like the new bleeding edge...

Not being argumentative, but: what are the trustworthy sources that the leaks are from? I've seen them posted at mega and Google Drive, with no identification as to the source.
