I have had this issue once before and followed tutorials on here to get this fixed and it worked at the time. But since it keeps coming back I was going to see if someone could interpret my dism log to see what is causing windows to keep corrupting itself and a possible fix.


I am having problems such as windows open and immeditely close. Super annoying and i am debating doing a fresh install. However I would like to avoid it if i can fix the corruption otherwise. Thank you for whoeevr you are

Beginning verification phase of system scan.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

No. If you most recently removed all the partitions during the install, and then it created 3 partitions, one recovery partition, one boot partition and the main C:/ partition, then that is the normal installation behavior for a clean install of Windows 10, so I think you're fine there.

Let's try this, run this, which I will make available to you temporarily as a download from my own domain as the Microsoft downloads suck and are unclear. This installer SHOULD include all the necessary driver and firmware updates. I make no claims as to what you should or shouldn't install, as I do not have an SP3 and cannot run the package to verify each specific items relevance or necessity. Coming from the SP3 product page, it should be accurate and...

Go into the control panel power options, and turn off hybrid sleep and hibernation as seen here. Fast restart (Hybrid sleep) causes nothing but problems on most machines.:

It won't affect normal sleep operation, so after disabling the fast restart/hybrid sleep and hibernation, you can try sleep again to see if the problem is resolved.

Every windows 8 and 10 system has the option of it. You may have to click the "settings that are not currently available" link at the top of the advanced power settings page.

Or, on some systems, that option may be available at the top of the main power page, and then at the bottom will be an option to disable fast startup. Uncheck the boxes next to fast startup and also hibernation.

Ok, so I'd go here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38826


And click on the download button which will bring up a list of optional downloads, then select the relevant driver, firmware and wintab downloads, choosing whichever ones apply to your system, and install them. I have a feeling there is probably a unit specific power management applet that needs to be installed, but there may not be and I can't find one specifically for that unit, so it might be included in the drivers download.

Optionally, you may want to try this, as you can see that this is also a Surface pro 3 and after performing the registry edit and enabling the high performance plan, that the "change settings not currently available" option appears at the top of the "advanced" power options dialogue. You might also just try enabling the high performance profile, then restarting the system, and go back in and click "change plan settings", change advanced settings and see if the options become available then.

I followed the directions in the youtube video, restarted, and still dont have the options. Something to note though is that the option to turn tablet mode on is greyed out in my charms menu. I think you might be right about the sp3 drivers. I hate to be the noob of the party but I dont know how to install those. Nor do I definitevly know which onces are applicable. Obviously the windows 10 drivers but idk what wintab is or what a ppkg or msi file does, or how to install such files for that matter. Do you think that the iso file i downloaded could have been corrupt. Ive read that its better to download the iso from tech bench because the windows tool for this always had bugs in its iso. True? Also... something that i took note of during the install is that the most recent reinstall was slightly different that the last. Reason being that I wasnt sure at one point what to do first...

My most recent reinstall, I deleted the partitions (which there were 5) until there was only 1 partiton of unallocated space. I then clicked next. Having not ttechnically completting a format, or pressing "new" to create a partition on this unallocated space.


A couple installs ago I both delted partitions, and pressed new to create a new partiton, in which it created 4 more (total 5). I then scrolled to the largest of the partitions to select it befroe clicking next..

Did that mess anything up

Thanks Darkbreeze. I have downloaded the file and will work on the install(s) later tonight when I get the opportunity. Ill let you know how it goes. Quick question so everything goes smoothly later... arte they the same type files as the 2p3 website. (Ex. msi, ppkg, zip) I don't know what to do with those ttypes of files. Would I go to device manager and do "uopdate drivers" from there or what. I have googled this briefly earlier and was not successful in finding out how to install these files. The "installation" for the drivers doesn't explain HOW to install. Sorry if its something that with a bit more research I could have figured out. I again appreciate your contribution to tomshardware. I hope you get paid to do so.

thanks

That did wonders for my system. Wow. Awesome! Thank you so much. I have to wonder though what or why it is that microsoft's own download for these files wouldnt have done the same thing. Did you take them and compile them yourself or what is it that you did?

No, those are the Microsoft device specific installer files for the drivers and firmware. I just downloaded it and then uploaded them to my domain because microsoft won't let me link directly to the download of that one particular installer. They want you to visit the page, pick through all the available files and then download, which is too damn confusing for somebody who is unsure of which files they need.

Like I said before, the native windows update supplied drivers leave much to be desired and I never rely on them for any system. I always try to find and install the motherboard or system specific manufacturer supplied drivers as they often provide much more functionality than the generic native drivers do.

Sorry for the delay. I have been away from the computer. Everything is running so much better now. Seems to have taken care of the majority of the issues I have been having. Certainly gives me more options to work with in fixing other issues. I will spend some time with these new drivers and see if anything else is still causing issues but from what I have experienced so far, I dont think it will be much. I am going to run a sfc scan just for the hell of it. If and when it comes back that there are corrupted files, I will try using dism. If that doesn't work either... what kind of things are affected by both failures? Is it something I need to repair (dism) so that if something does go wrong, I will have the resources to fix them?

Hey darkbreeze. Can you link that surface pro 3 driver package to me one more time. Ill be sure to save it in the right place this time. I just had a complete fallout on my sp3. This is right after i noticed a notification saying that windows installed updates. It updated 2 firmware packages and it completely screwed all that was good on my computer. Completely deleting my network drivers and all.

haha I don't play without at LEAST 2 mulligans. Thanks agaim. Oh and is there any way to stop updates from download AUTOMATICALLY. I dont want to stop the service from searching and find updates but I would like the ability to choose which ones I would like to install myself. Thanks again man.

There is no way to stop updates from automatically being installed on Windows 10. You can stop drivers from automatically updating though.

http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2763685/stop-windows-automatically-updating-device-drivers.html


You can also go into the advanced options in Windows update and change the setting to where it notifies you before restarting, rather than just doing it.

And if you want to block all the reporting crap from Windows 10, download and install Spybot Anti-Beacon, and turn off everything on the main AND the advanced page. That's up to you. I don't use search from within windows anyhow, and I sure as hell don't use that bit.. Cortana, so I don't mind losing those things in order to block all their reporting telemetry.
