Lately, after I shutdown (full shutdown, not sleep or hibernate) my fully charged Surface Laptop 2 at night, I turn it on in the morning and find that the battery has lost around 25% power overnight! What's going on and how can I fix this?
The laptop is only about 6 months old and the battery seems to be in good health.

This should be available on Windows Update:
October 10 release
The following updates are available for all Surface Laptop 2 devices running Windows 10 April 2018 Update, version 1803 or greater:
| Windows Update History Name | Device Manager Name |
|---|---|
| Surface – Firmware – 145.501.139.0 | Surface System Aggregator– Firmware<br><br><ul><br><li><span>145.501.139.0 helps improve battery life.</span></li></ul> |
So far, as far as I can tell, the apparent battery drop only happens when the PC is shutdown at 100%. When shut down at lower charge levels it seems to have the same charge when started up again.
I have the same problem. Brand new Surface Laptop 2.
Thank you, I appreciate your efforts. In addition to this thread and using the feedback hub, I’ve also reached out to Microsoft Support on Twitter. They quickly replied to me through direct message and guided me through some troubleshooting. They also directed me to the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit. I’m impressed by the concern that they showed and how much they did try to help, but in the end it came down to “get it checked out”.
So I will weigh my options and consider visiting the MS Store if there are no further developments.
I’m considering visiting an MS Store, but I’m willing to bet that they will run some standard diagnostics (I’ve already followed troubleshooting guides and used the Surface diagnostic toolkit) and find nothing wrong. It probably won’t be possible to reproduce the problem on the spot, and at best they’ll offer me a refurbished replacement, which is not what I want, and may just end up with the same problem.
Given that this is most likely a software/firmware problem, the best course of action might just be bringing it to MS’s attention as much as possible and hoping it gets fixed in an update.
