Battery drain overnight while shutdown

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.

Please see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4469839/surface-laptop-2-update-history

This should be available on Windows Update:

The following updates are available for all Surface Laptop 2 devices running Windows 10 April 2018 Update, version 1803 or greater:

    @ Johnny W Lam

    I suppose that on Surface Pro 4 Drivers & Firmware Sept. 2019   site there will be updates already contained in the August release, then I suspect the same 103.2614.257.0 update driver. Anyhow, I'll try to do as you suggested. Thanks for your effort in helping me.

    There are also other updates that might need to be updated under System Devices, but best bet is to download the MSI package install and go down the steps provided.  Anytime josèterra , let me know if all is well once completely all tasks.

    I will do it, but I fear that I will find the same 103.2614.257.0 update driver that I have already updated in August and that I am convinced is responsible for the battery draining.

    Thanks again.
