Microsoft has confirmed a bug in build 10130 on the Surface 3

By Krystle Vermes Published June 11, 2015

Participants of the Windows Insider program received Build 10130 of Windows 10 approximately two weeks ago. However, some people quickly noticed that they were unable to install the build on their Surface 3, according to Winbeta.org. Now, Microsoft has confirmed that there is a bug associated with Intel’s Cherry Trail processor. As a result, the Cherry Trail-embedded Surface 3 is unable to function with Build 10130.

“10130 is a no-go for Surface 3,” wrote Microsoft’s Gabriel Aul, in a response to a tweet on Twitter. “We have a bug that is unique to CherryTrail systems in that build. Relief is coming soon though.”

The problem with Build 10130 and the Surface 3 starts out as soon as you try to install the build onto the device. Once it’s on the Surface 3, the system would attempt to reboot. During this process, it would freeze, hence, the bug.

Microsoft knew that Build 10130 would be buggy, according to a blog post that went up on June 5. Aul, who wrote the post, specified that 10130 would not be released to the Slow ring due to the amount of bugs in the build.

“I know we said we would only release ISOs if we push a build to the Slow ring but we’re making a special exception today,” Aul wrote. “We know that a bunch of Windows Insiders on the Fast ring are currently blocked getting to the latest build due a 0x80246017 error.”

Some of the new changes spotted in Build 10130 include tweaks to Start Menu, as well as a “New!” indicator that pops up when you download a new app, according to Winbeta.org. Icons were also updated in Build 10130, in addition to other UI features.

Windows 10 is slated to debut on July 29 to PC and tablet users. It will be a free upgrade for existing Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users.

Apple’s “Pro and Tell” October 28 event: Everything we expect from touchscreen MacBooks to a new iMac

Prepare for a touchscreen MacBook that costs around $3,000.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).

Those cute delivery robots could be the new Flock surveillance menace

Dinner is served, but who asked for a biometric scan?

Food delivery robots

Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?

According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.

OpenAI’s new GPT-6.1 Terra model gets Astra-like results for one-tenth the price

The new model is designed to get through computer-based tasks quickly without sacrificing too much capability.

ChatGPT-6.1 Terra model launched

Nearly a month after announcing the GPT-6.1 Sol model, OpenAI unveiled GPT-6.1 Terra today. The latest addition to the family focuses on computer use, visual reasoning, coding, and professional work, while costing 50% less through the API than GPT-5.6 Terra.

OpenAI says Terra can handle everything from filling out browser forms and working inside spreadsheets to interpreting technical drawings and editing videos. The company says it can also complete computer-based tasks more than three times faster than GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol.
