The latest firmware broke the digitizer I think, tried 4 pens, none work

I've watched my SP4, wake from sleep/hibernation numerous times on its own. Why is this still happening?! Just now, it was off for at least an hour and hibernating on my desk, unplugged, and it resumed from hibernation without touching it. Has anyone else experienced this? Event logs are...

I work in IT and we have at least 40 surfaces that suck on WiFi until you reboot or toggle WiFi on and off. Its sad

150Mbs symmetrical, only windows store apps plus Office 2016, PhotoShop CC and Traktor 2; resident programs, just OneDrive and Defender... such a sh!tshow...its like owning a moody cat!

Anyone else experiencing this: While CPU is at nominal utilization I often experience significant lag doing mundane things like: typing into Cortana, keystrokes are delayed by 3 or so seconds Launching a new tab in edge takes 5 seconds the cursor moves in slomo when moving around the screen My...

Anyone else experiencing these issues: 1) Edge is much more unstable and crashes often 2) In Task Manager, "Task Manager" is the most CPU intensive process at around 6 - 15% CPU usage with little else running, ha! 3) Fans at idle are back 4) New startup service in task manager called "Surface...

Best Buy, 4 total devices all abysmal and had all or most of these flaws: - 1 device didn't turn on, Replaced - all had severe light bleed around the edges - worst I've seen in a decade - terrible power management, fans on all the time, Somewhat fixed now via firmware updates but different...

thanks, i'm aware of the ability to roll-back but am more curious if this is a local anomaly or something more universal.

Since the last major update I'm getting a significant amount of screen tearing and stutter on simple animations in UWP apps like FlipBoard and Asphalt which becomes unusable due to frame drops until I reboot. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Same issue here with my Bose Sounding mini, its unusable

Although progress has been made the SP4 is still a far cry from a stable, reliable daily driver. The screen quality control is clearly lacking; of the 15 or so SP4s I've seen up close, all had very bad bleed reminiscent of circa 1995 Toshibas! Thermals have not been dialed in yet as mine runs...

Battery drain back after yesterdays cumulative update? Drained at least 50% while folded on my couch for about 4 hours.

Exactly, I returned my personal SP4 cause I couldn't take the added disappointment of expecting more than "OK" from a $2000 purchase. Sadly, my experience has been way less than OK and borders on the worst PC I've used in decades. (BTW, 4 factory resets and counting)

I post everytime my Surface sh*ts the bed, and its been a lot recently (daily). It is an unstable mess, just came back from lunch, fans going, its hot, tried to wake it from sleep and it reset!! Lost the last 30 minutes of work. SP4 is a laughable daily driver, IT WILL FAIL YOU!

Day 1 with new updates and already 3 hot-bag incidents, another with the surface just sitting on my desk, fans going nuts, almost too hot to hold, nothing open! Thermal management seems waaaay, waaay worse. Damn you to hell Microsoft!
