Surface pro 4 display adapter error, "Display adapter igfx stopped responding and has recovered", event id 4101. Seems to be only when running Edge.

Hi All,
We released an update on 2/17/2016 that addresses this issue.
We recommend that you install this update to keep your Surface performing its best. You can get updates now by checking Settings> Update & security> Windows Update.
To confirm the updates are installed, check Settings> Update & security> Windows Update> Advanced options> View your update history.
Thanks,

Hi
I suspect devices racing to awaken are interfering with each other. Leaving WiFi on during sleep (settings > system>power & sleep), which I set yesterday, seems to have fixed the black screen on "awakening" problem I have been having on my surface pro 4. (Of course sleep, under the balanced power scheme, consumed up to 23% of battery capacity this way).
WiFi set off during sleep used to reconnect after sign-in and startup. Updates installed in January changed this so that it was on by that time.
Since I've still gotten the MTConfig errors sometimes and also distributed COM errors and warnings on Kernel-PnP: WUDFRd failing to load for device ... and ACPI: EC returned data when none was requested, that were also being reported in the 'System' event log, inelegance remains. However, my screen isn't black and I don't have to force shutdown and reboot to wake the Surface.
Hope this helps

Try a two button reset
Step 1: Swipe in from the right and tap or click Settings, tap or click Power, and then tap or click Shut down to shut down Surface. If you can’t shut down Surface normally, press and hold the power button on your Surface for 30 seconds.
Step 2: After Surface turns off, press and hold volume-up button and the power button on your Surface at the same time for at least 15 seconds, and then release both.
The screen may flash the Surface logo, but continue holding the buttons down for at least 15 seconds.
Step 3: After you release the buttons, wait 10 seconds.
Step 4: Press and release the power button again to turn your Surface back on.
if this does not work, you will need to exchange it.
Strange,,, I did an update check about 2300 last nite after installing th2 and there weren't any. Just did another check and there were the 11/2 update and an insider hub update. I'll try Edge again and see if it's fixed.
Seems like Edge has the most frequent problems.
I've only had one blue screen so far and the help desk was no help,, it's only a nag and seems like Intel and MS should be a little quicker on the fix,, seems like all the publicity about year long collaboration should result in stability.<G>

Did you reinstall the firmware update of Nov 2nd? Also, where did you see the crash, what were you in and doing?
My crashes are almost non-existent now. Haven't seen one in a few days.
Also, do realize this is not a Surface Pro / Book issue, it is an Intel driver issue on the new Skylake processors. Others are reporting the same problem on Lenovo and other OEM's hardware. Intel needs to get this resolved soon.
