Surface Pro 3 Overheating with Windows 10

[Johnny365]

I got my first overheat shutdown (thermometer icon) and the screen was quite warm. First time this happened too, even with Windows 8.1.

With Windows 10, it's hard to judge what exactly is causing the issue. Anyone else run into this?

Mine's upgrade is smooth sailing. You need to check for "system interruptions " CPU Usage.

When it happens again, I'll have to check task manager. Before it happened, I noticed my system was getting sluggish so I did a restart, and during that, was when it shut off automatically.

Some report that it might be the windows updates installing automatically instead of setting it for manual checks. Anyone know how to do this setting?

Hope this helps
