Hello,

My 2 week old surface book 3 ( i7-1065G7) is now throttling at a very low speed of .19GHz.  

I have a standard mouse plugged in, and a Microsoft USB-C Travel hub connected.  To the travel hub, i have a 2nd monitor connected via VGA cable.  This system worked well until i plugged in an Ethernet cable to the hub from my router.

I have unplugged the travel hub, and have restarted the computer 2 times now with no luck.

    The latest iGPU driver did not help in solving the temperature problem. Other than that I could not enable my two external 4k screens connected via a Dock 2 with these drivers. The screens show up as disconnected - if you try to extend the display, nothing happens. Reverting to the old drivers made it work instantly.

    Install the latest drivers for the iGPU, WiFi and Bluetooth at Intel website. This solved all my issues.

    Latest firmware, High performance plan, set the 8 core thingy, Surface Book 3 15 inch, throttled today on a Zoom call. Im also on 2004, so that could be a reason?

    Google "how to get high performance power plan windows 10" and you'll find lots of stuff.  The entry from help.ableton is very good.  You'll see how to get the high performance plan.

    Quick update:

    I have received a replacement Surface Book today. There doesn't seem to be any information available about what the problem was and, in fact, I only know it's a replacement because of the serial numbers - the info on my Microsoft account is fairly ambiguous. (FYI the tech assistant had noted my issue as 'overheating') 

    Anyway - I'll let you know how it's running once I get all my software reinstalled and try out a couple of the problem programs.

    Cheers,

    Dan
