The hot bag issue is a well known issue with many Surface Books, especially older ones. My first SB had this problem sporadically when in sleep mode and occasionally when turned off. It seems that if the SB crashes during the shutdown process, it doesn't actually shut down and continues to burn...

Remember: There is no undo for this command. If you execute it in the wrong folder, you will be sad.

Will do. Thanks to everyone for all the help and efforts to help.

Agreed. p.s. Be careful using commands with *.*. Make sure you are in the right folder.

It's now been six days with the SB warranty replacement and I have not had a single problem. It is a great computer when it works. I guess the first one was just a lemon. So glad I exchanged it.

It has been three days with my warranty replacement SB. So far, so good. This SB has a build date of 2016 week 27. The old SB had a build date of 2015 week 40 (close to the very first batch made). I had one hardware error shortly after setting everything up (LiveKernelEvent Code ab), but it...

I have heard of lots of problems with people running Chrome on the SB.

The replacement SB has arrived. I have installed all the Windows and SB updates, and I have installed Office and my other software. Now we will see if this one is any better than the POS it replaced. I must say that MS support has been great. They have been responsive and easy to deal with. I...

I would love it if it works for more than 48 hours in a row.

Thanks for the encouraging replies. I'll let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed!

The Surface Book has serious issues dealing with sleep and hibernate. My Surface Book has never worked properly in this regard, and there are literally thousands of posts online from people with similar problems. Nobody seems to know what the actual problem is, and the symptoms vary, but the...

My Surface Book crashes repeatedly during sleep, and occasionally during use. I also occasionally get the hot bag issue, where I close the lid, put the SB in my bag, and two hours later I could fry an egg on the SB and the battery is depleted. I have run the DSIM procedure and I have...

Welcome to the club! My Surface Book has been the most unreliable computer I have ever owned. After a year of crashing repeatedly during sleep, and occasionally during use, I reinstalled Windows completely. That reduced the crashes to about once per week, for maybe four weeks. Now my SB is back...

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong splicing power cables for high-end electronic devices?

Early adopters of the SB got punished with a product that was buggy and unreliable (and contained hardware different from what was sent to product reviewers). I would be VERY reluctant to buy any new MS laptop until it has been thoroughly tested and properly reviewed by independent non-fanboy...

I have not had the problems you have had, but I have had nothing but problems with my SB since it was new. Lots of sleep related problems and generally just unreliable. The last remaining problem I had was random freezes/crashes every 12-36 hours. No reason, no error, just non-responsive out of...

What happens if you press the Windows key?

Well, that hope didn't last long. A few hours after installing the most recent updates, my Surface Book froze two seconds after opening Outlook 2013. I know ... I know ... it's an awful lot to expect Microsoft's flagship laptop to run Windows 10 and Outlook 2013 without crashing. POS.

I just got those updates too (at least the 1st and 3rd, because I'm running the non-GPU SB). I really hope that these updates will finally stop my SB from randomly crashing every two or three days. Every time I get a firmware or device driver udpate I am optimistic that finally I will open up...

I use Windows Hello for my login and Roboform to manage all my passwords. Works well.
