Updating here for posterity:

The problematic app version (in my case at least) was 42.602.139.0.

The one that installed today without issues is 42.604.139.0.

Information in Store has not been update yet, obviously, and still shows 42.602.139.0 and Oct 2019 release date.

OK, so an update: got rid of it now completely as old app just stopped working on its own (talk about the improvement!) and merely asked me to reinstall it from the Store – and these issues went away.

(Frankly, I did not even know this app existed before!)

New, updated, app installation finishes with the same error. Naturally.

So my careful stance on this is that this new, updated, app is not compatible with anything preceding 1903.

For completeness, there error says:

Something unexpected happened
Code: 0x80080204

(I bet!)

wsreset.exe is to no avail. I will see if it clears out on its own (as expected really?) over the next few days.

No excessive junk in any of the /TEMP folders though.

For what it’s worth: Surface App does not want to get itself updated via store since sometime last week, ending with 0XSOMETHING error code instead.

As that’s corporate machine and on 1709 still, assumed it’s by design and have duly forgotten about this. Except that reliability chart looks worse now, naturally.

I  am yet to check if /TEMP is littered with these files, shall report tomorrow.

EDITED TO ADD: It’s a humble but up-specced Surface Laptop by the way.

Old habits die hard!

Remind me of equally successful ‘try before buy’ approach when system date prior to the installation of something new was changed by several years forward…

Well, I say: good luck with this one!

Khem khem, Synctoy works actually fine under Windows 10?

I use it quite regularly and never had a problem with it.

Don’t you worry, come next Patch Tue in six days’ time (11/09) and this will be old news (again)!

And .NET updates as well apparently

64-bit is now there as well just turned up. Embrace yourselves!

As a company / corporate device (i.e. given FoC) – it’s great: it’s light enough, battery lasts adequately long enough either, has Windows on-board, it’s compatible where it should be, it does work. It does have some niggles with sleep mode but hey! Nobody’s perfect.

But no sane mind should even come close to considering buying it – far too expensive and riddled with all these nonsensical (as per Woody’s summary) issues. And behold: it’s irreparable at all.

Silly question perhaps but why any of these:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4505903/windows-10-update-kb4505903

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-1903

has not been updated accordingly yet?

(I know, I know)

I am impacted although error codes I got differ – see the below blurp from this post onwards:

https://www.tenforums.com/windows-10-news/138431-cumulative-update-kb4512508-windows-10-v1903-build-18362-295-aug-13-a-12.html

Care to share what’s this possible tweak to get this resolved?

And yes, I do clean component store regularly, so this explanation is quite feasible.

For those ones who still read this thread somehow and for completeness: I got dismayed by this situation and once I confirmed that it’s most likely now-obsolete Intel AC7260 and its Bluetooth driver that is to blame and does not (will not) allow me to use any small and compact Bluetooth Keyboard that I could be happy with anymore, I decided to give it a go and replaced keyboard (& top casing that contains it) yesterday.

So £10 (brand new top casing off eBay) & 3 hours later I’m happy to confirm that I have not damaged or broken anything, laptop remains fully operational and keyboard now works!

Yup:
