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.

    This seems to have worked for me...for now. But I'm still waiting for Microsoft to comment. Why put us through this nonsense??

    • Windows 10 18363.778
    • Approx 1-2 months ago
    • No change to the device ( This is a Surface Pro 5th Generation)
    • Surface Dock
    • Suddenly, when running in batteries, without any further notification, the Surface power off and, even though the battery is not drained ( even with 30% of battery level), the only way to power on is using the original outlet power,
    • No specific task doing when it powers off but it never is before one hour of operation
    • I am always connected, so I can´t tell you if it will happen when I am not.
    • Only on battery
    • The shut down happens, but it own and, as told before, there is no way to power on with the Dock. Only with the original outlet
    • power

    On the very first day I bought pro 7, it started to shut down randomly. so I contacted the supplier and switched for a new one. However, on the very first day my new pro 7 arrived which was yesterday, the same trouble occurred. It suddenly becomes glaring and then goes black. I really hope Microsoft could work out this problem.

    Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, but no info on when or if a fix will be
    available. See
    https://answers.microsoft.com/message/2488483a-efa2-4237-8605-423c0ddacc4c?threadId=070429f1-ad5e-48eb-acaa-6daca59739b0
    However, here is a temporary work around from another customer that seems to
    resolve the issue for many others:

    "
    I've fixed it on my SP7 i5/8G/256G by installing the Intel Graphics CommandCenter from the Microsoft Store, opening it, going to System>Power>Panel SelfRefresh and turning it off for both "On Battery" and "Plugged In"."

    I bought my surface pro 7 a few weeks ago. I am sooo frustrated. I can't let it sit idle for more than a minute and it shuts down. It doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not! HELP!! I bought it from Best Buy, and I live over 1 1/2 hours away from the closest one, and i threw the box away.... and with the covid 19, i can't be without a computer!
