Mine has all these problems too. The troubleshooting page is worthless. Are these issues patchable, or do I need to return this?
Surface Book w/ new Dock. Dock fails after a time and requires reboot of Surface Book.

I've got a new Dock connected to a Surface Book. The dock has several USB devices connected, a LAN Ethernet cable, and a DP monitor. The dock works fine for a time after boot; however, connectivity to the dock begins to bounce. The USB devices and monitor disconnect/reconnect rapidly. Removing and reapplying power to the dock has no positive effect. Disconnecting/reconnecting the connector from the surface also has no positive effect. The only solution is to reboot the Surface Book. After a reboot the dock functions as expected for a time, and then the process starts all over.
All of the Windows updates have been applied.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Blake

2015-11-05T12:48:10+00:00 My dock has exactly the same behavior. Only way it works well is a clean boot with dock connected. I am trying to be patient with the surface book but there are just so many irritating bugs - coming from Apple where things just pretty much work makes it hard. Problem is Apple doesn't make a 2 in 1.

Seriously.
With all the other Surface Book bugs, I'm worried the even buggier dock is getting over looked. Can someone from Microsoft please chime in and let us know if a fix is in the works? If not, many of us are nearing the end of the return window.

2015-11-09T18:47:08+00:00 It appears that Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3105210) might have fixed my dock problems. I haven't had any stability issues with disconnecting/connecting my dock since this update was installed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't a false positive.
