I'm tired of all these issues now. At first, a few days ago, I was working on this laptop and it shut down randomly. I switched it on, but again it shut down randomly. In 20 minutes, this happened thrice. I tried something, and then it worked fine for a day. Then today again, it is happening. The diagnostic kit says there's nothing wrong. Please help.

    I run Windows 10 Pro on my Surface Pro 7 (i7, 256Gb, 16Gb) with no problems. I had random shutdowns when I first purchased the device, but these were resolved entirely with the 2004 Window 10 update. Mostly they occurred while the device was asleep, not while I was working. I usually have the power mode set to "Recommended" or "Better Performance" (not "Best Performance"), though, to reduce fan noise.

    Point being, I don't believe downgrading to Windows 10 Home will resolve this problem. I would say that either there is a problem with your Windows installation, which may be resolved with a refresh/clean install. Or third-party software you're using is causing the system to crash. Or third-party hardware you're using is causing the system to crash. Or your device is faulty and should be replaced by Microsoft.

    The second set of steps where you open up the system file checker fixed my issue. My surface pro 7 kept randomly shutting down and glitching out when I tried to reboot it. After doing these steps I found corrupted files that the diagnostic test and all the security checks couldn't find. The system automatically repaired them and my laptop and it's now running perfectly! Definitely felt like a hacker though, got a little confusing but Microsoft had it layed out step by step for me.
