My surface pro 4 is currently losing around 20% charge overnight. This is a widely reported problem and I have tried all of the various suggested fixes - no improvement. 

MICROSOFT - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS???

    Unfortunately disabling -Intel Management Engine Interface Driver" didn't work either. In fact it lead to fast battery drain in a single night it went down from 50 percent to 13% . So seems like there is no solution to it and Microsoft just don't care about Surface 4 Users at all since they want to push their newer products.

    I've been searching online for some years now since the problem first appeared. Everything appears to have been tried. I will NEVER NEVER EVER buy any Microsoft hardware again.

    ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING TREATMENT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! MICROSOFT SHAME ON YOU!!!

    True .. I have also decided not to purchase Microsoft Hardware henceforth and not only that I am going to influence at least 10 people in my circle about it.

    Yesterday, after 48 hours without turning on the SP4, I checked how the battery went from 100% to 0%. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't seem to have anything to say about it. This has made my SP4 useless. The smallest desktop computer ever seen ... A Microsoft tease to its users ...
