I did START > POWER > SHUTDOWN procedure and disconnected from power and removed the flip keyboard cover as well. When I check the registry 'CsEnabled' is 1. So I assume Connected Standby is ON even though I do the START > POWER > SHUTDOWN. Right?
Battery Drains While Shutdown
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! :)

2018-02-26T16:38:40+00:00 Thanks for the reply. Just to be clear, so even "Shutdown" doesn't really mean turn off the SP4 completely anymore. It just goes into what is called "Connect Standby", right? If so is there a way I can off this without windows registry edit hack found on internet.
Also, I have been keeping "Turn on fast startup" unticked in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\System Settings. Does this disable "Connected Standby" or this is a different function in itself? Moreover, does unticking this help to slow battery drain?

2018-02-26T16:24:42+00:00 10% over 24 hours is really pretty normal. Look at the sleep study. When you are in "sleep" - connected standby/instant go - your Surface goes through some state changes. It is in "sleep" mode for about 4 hours but can still be performing network functions, etc. before it goes into a deeper hibernate mode. There is a technical document at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardwa... - background activity IS happening.
