Battery Drains While Shutdown

Anonymous

I have read many posts and made many attempts to correct this problem without any success.

I was traveling for 3 months and when I returned the battery was completely dead.

Also, each night since my return, the battery drains as much as 12% overnight while shutdown.

I have all MS updates but the problem continues.

Please advise.

THX! :)

    I used this cmd line shutdown and experienced no battery drain overnight of my SP4.

    Interesting. What command did you use DcPWS? Any switches?

    I tried again evocing 'shutdown /s' and checked about 30 hours later. I had lost 53% power with only 47% remaining after booting.

    Hi,Tim923347.  My experience was similar to yours.  The shutdown.exe from cmd.exe did not stop the battery drain.  Specifically, "shutdown /s /f  /t 0".

    Hi, Tim923347.  My experience was the same as yours on Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10 version 1903.  Specifically, "shutdown /s /f  /t 0".
