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.

    All hi!

    I have the same problem.

    Surface 6 Pro. After switching off and the subsequent connection the battery is discharged from 100% to 75%. (Windows 10 Pro 1903)

    Today tried not to switch off Surface, and transferred it to the hibernation mode.

    and both was for 100% all day long and remained.

    Try to do as well write at whom what turns out.

    In advance all thanks!
