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?

What did you change the setting to?
Do you wear a smartwatch? Yeah, I'm stuck on this crazy theory.
Darn it ... it just happened to me for the first time in a couple days. No smartwatch, close the lid setting changed.
Back to the drawing board of crazy theories.
Sad to hear...
Just for your info, I'm not wearing a smartwatch and my close the lid setting is "do nothing".
Microsoft!!! any update on this please, many unhappy customers hundreds looking at this thread all with a product that isnt working as it should.......
No updates is like you are ignoring everyone and many people are giving up and getting refunds looking at some of the posts....
I dont want to get a refund i love this device but am unhappy that after spending an awful lot of money there is a bug that is ruining the experience and it feels worse as we are not getting any updates as to progress on resolving the issue
Please sort this out...
