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.

Then download Intel Graphics and try option 4...Right pain i know and MS should really answer for this.

Very disappointing. What a waste of money. If I had wanted this nonsense, I would have kept my old system.

2020-04-21T21:37:09+00:00 Have you tried this. Seems to work with mine for now.
I've fixed it on my SP7 i5/8G/256G by installing the Intel Graphics Command Center from the Microsoft Store, opening it, going to System>Power>Panel Self Refresh and turning it off for both "On Battery" and "Plugged In"."
Do let me know if it works. Thanks
worked for me!
