I don't get this

UPDATE:

My Surface 3 was dead for 2 months !!
Nothing worked except that it booted, beyond that, nothing.

NOW, after the Surface 3 tablet was powered down for months,
I pulled it out of storage and it worked perfectly !!!

The touch screen worked, Windows Update got the firmware updates installed !!!

Posting this on a Surface 3 using free wifi at a donut shop.
