    Why did my Surface Book 2 stop turning on after last windows update?

    I left my Surface Book 2 on overnight to install a windows update over the weekend (unfortunately, I don't know which one it was). The next day when I tried to use it, it wouldn't turn on.

    What do you expect with the Surface Pro 4?

    I'm hoping to see better battery life and lower temperatures - I'd love for the fan to run less frequently. Thinner would be nice, but the current thickness/ weight doesn't bother me. The battery life would be more important than size reduction.

    I came to Windows Phone from webOS and had an amazing app called Mode Switcher (Mode Switcher | webOS Nation) there which was perfect for automating tasks (and in fact, has been the biggest thing I miss from that operating system since switching). When Cortana was announced, this was something...

    Cortana News (Coming from the inside) (OP being updated)

    How do Cortana updates work? It sounds like you can make a lot of changes by working on the back-end - if you need to make changes (or add features) to the actual Cortana code on the phone, can you push the update via the store like a standalone app, or can it only be done with an OS update?
