If you don't mind me asking, how is the battery life on your SB?

I saw over on Surface Reddit that there was a beta launch for new Intel drivers, so I think they are trying to get new drivers out soon. But I would not download those beta drivers, they have a lot of known issues.

So do you think I should get my computer looked at with those warnings on the USB? Or is there anything I can do about it?

I don't have anything in the device. I've also just used the computer for 25 minutes of light usage and it's already down 4%. Do you think this would be the culprit to my battery issues? Should I take it to the Microsoft Store?

I've let my battery completely drain and recharge. I also finally ran an powercfg/energy test and got these warnings. The power policy doesn't bother me; it's those USB warnings that do. Should I uninstall the USB drives and reinstall them? Can anyone help me figure how to fix them? Thanks!

Battery life has been pretty abysmal on my SB as well. I have another week and a half to decide if I want to keep this computer. I'm already on my first replacement and I am afraid to try another replacement because I barely have any of the other issues reported now. I love the concept and...

I also just ran sfc/scannow out of curiosity and am getting corrupt files that can't be fixed. When I try to run DISM, it says the option is unknown, error: 87.

I really want to try one of these decals for my SB, but I feel like I might be a bit OCD with it. $25 isn't too expensive, but just not sure.

Thanks for the input! How many extra decals do you get when you buy from DecalGirl? And I assume they come off the device cleanly?

How difficult is it to apply the decals? I usually find it difficult applying screen protectors and so never apply them.

Just received the 11/18 update. Will see if they improves anything. I also checked if there were any updates for my battery drivers and they both say they are up to date even though dated to 2006.

Well I'm pretty sure I have all of the updates, including the one from 11/13.

That was almost in exactly a 24 hour period that I lost 7%.

I had all of the updates applied before I shut it down 24 hours ago and the computer was completely shut down, so how am I losing 7%+ battery life when the machine is completely off? That makes absolutely no sense. No other device I own does this. I'm really thinking there is a hardware defect...

So even after applying the Fall Update, I'm still having battery issues. Only getting a max of 5 hours of usage just surfacing the web on Firefox, using OneNote, and checking email with Outlook. I've reinstalled the battery drivers, turned off adaptive brightness, and disabled startup...

I would get a replacement. Most likely a hardware defect, which Microsoft still hasn't addressed. Updates and system refreshes will not fix it. I'm on a replacement now because my first one froze all the time.

Maybe get a replacement if the DD continues to give you problems? I only had a DD once before the Fall Update as well as a BSOD, but nothing since then.

Notice any differences with the update? The SB running better? I did a little testing with my SB today and it seems like the battery life might be a little better. However, I also reinstalled the battery drivers again and disabled some programs on startup.

The Fall Update is the Windows Update, not the Surface specific update from 11/2. At least I thought I completely shut it off. How do I check if fast boot is enabled? I never enabled it before unless it is automatic. I also disabled some of the startup apps today and will see if that helps. I...

Congratulations! So would you say having the SB docked led to some of the errors?
