Turning on my Surface Book, stuck on Surface screen??

[jeffsmithy]

When I turn on my Surface Book, it gets stuck on the "Surface" screen and doesn't go any further. I have to push and hold the power button to turn it off, then turn it back on again to get it to boot properly. Any ideas?

Does it do that every time exactly as you described it? Are you actually shutting down then having to start twice to get back to a desktop?

ya...it started after the last update...

Known bug. Must cold boot.

Is this really a known issue? Started for me just yesterday (possibly due to updates coming in drips...)

Whenever my PC hibernates, I cannot turn it back on as it just hangs at the 'Surface' screen.

I can force a BSOD by detaching the screen and turning it on - then I usually get INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR followed by a clean, cold-boot.

Any workaround? This has basically bricked my device for day-to-day usage (shutting down is impractical..)

Yes, I have been experiencing this issue on both my original and replacement SB.

A real pain! Started after 'system update' a few days ago. Tried to roll back, but this update isn't listed.
