For some reason my new Surface is shutting off randomly. I check the setting and a few other things but it's still randomly turns off without warning. I'm losing some of my school work because of it. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hello Bryan,
I am still having the same issue despite having the July firmware 233.1763.257.0 patch installed.
I have a Surface Pro tablet and I am not using any pen.
It happens when I disconnect from the power.
I hope Microsoft will spend some effort to solve this issue.
Best regards,
did you try running the MSI file from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55484 ?
when you look at Windows Update history, are there any failed updates?
Had a chat with Microsoft support, and they told me that firmware 233.1763.257.0 can solve the problem.
In the Surface Pro Update History page they say that this firmware has been released on july, but my Surface is stuck with a previous version of the firmware and Windows Update doesn't find the latest version! Well, that's strange...
I have loaded the cumulative updates for my Surface Pro (2017) and rebooted, same problem.
You put the tablet to sleep with the button and it won't wake up again.
The windows logo and the donut appear briefly and then the screen goes blank.
No events in the log other than the shutdown messages from having to hold the power key for 15 seconds.
The device is less than a week old!!
