Thank you for your patience while we have investigated Surface Duo devices that would restart after the May 30th, 2023 update. The June 26th, 2023 update improves system stability. See Update Surface Duo for more info on how to update your Surface Duo or Surface Duo 2.
Marking as "Answered" for now to raise visibility.
FWIIW, I didn't need to reset anything. Not wifi, mobile, nor Bluetooth.
I just turn off my VPN when on wifi. Fixed it.
Of course YMMV.
By the way, I saw a poll on Reddit. Most Duo are not having problems.
We're the lucky ones.
Yes, that is correct, I reset "Wi-Fi, mobile and Bluetooth" under System/Reset options.
Yes, it will delete all saved Wi-Fi networks, and you will also have to pair all Bluetooth devices again.
But, so far this has worked fine on the Duo 1, with VPN switched off.
Perhaps you didn't read the work around solutions in this thread.
If you use a VPN, turn it off when you are on Wi-Fi.
Try it and report back if it worked.
I love my Surface Duo 2, but the latest update has broken this device. It resets constantly. I had to purchase a replacement phone since I relied on my Duo 2 as my daily driver(bought a Samsung product). I cannot stop conducting business while they figure how to release a phone update. Microsoft took a great device and made it unusable. I miss using my Duo 2. Perhaps Microsoft should look into their software verification before they release another update. Most people can't have their phone suddenly become unusable. This will drive them to replace their device with a competitor. It is a shame...
Admittedly, I was already not looking forward to the Duo 3 because of my experiences with the 1 and 2. With Windows Central reporting that Duo 3 will be a single screen foldable, all the work done on Duo 2 will get tossed out the window (no pun intended). Technically, at least in regard to Microsoft, this is a new form factor for them. Their software and launcher were designed for two screens and now they have to design it for one. If we're being blunt, that's just new ways for Microsoft to screw up. I can definitely see how the Duo 3 will be yet another beta product.
Because I don't need or want a single screen foldable, I was already eyeballing the new Motorola Razr+. A bricked Duo with no ETA for the fix is making that decision much easier.
