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?

Yes, I installed the update this morning, and after that I got my first random hibernation.
Since then I chatted to Microsoft help and ran the Hardware troubleshooter in Settings. This found a problem and applied a fix. After a restart, so far, no hibernation. Let's see.
Microsoft surface just made an announcement about a new update for windows 10 to keep the surface performing at its best. Anyone tried it yet?
The announcement is at the top of this forum.
can you turn it on with a two button restart?
Step 1: press and hold the power button on your Surface for 30 seconds.
Step 2: press and hold volume-up button and the power button on your Surface at
the same time for at least 15 seconds, and then release both.
The screen may flash the Surface logo, but continue holding the buttons
down for at least 15 seconds.
Step 3: After you release the buttons, wait 10 seconds.
Step 4: Press and release the power button again to turn your Surface back on.
if you cant turn it on, return and repurchase.
>>When I first try to log in it just shuts down and now wont turn back on!
I am having the SP17 I5 8GB and also the problem, that it randmly goes to sleep.
It happens at work in a bright room
while using OneNote2016
while writing with the Pen
while watching a movie in a dark room
while doing nothing, with OneNote2016 running in the background.
