Check Windows Update, there was an installer and launch bug in Windows 11, a patch was deployed in the last day or so...

You can buy them on Amazon from 3rd Party Resellers. But there does appear to be a parts shortage in the channel for legacy Pro typecovers.

The Legacy Power Control Panel is still available, access via Windows File Explorer

I only see this for people who want to flex :D In all seriousness - If you are a AI/ML Developer or a Professional Photographer or Artist using Raw files I could see the 32GB of RAM coming in handy.

I've been using the SP8 since Tuesday and it is by far the best Windows 2 and 1 I've used. Enhancements over the Pro7+ 120Hz Screen 13" display that is the best panel I've seen on a Surface New Digitizer Slim Pen 2 with haptic feedback 2 TB4 ports allow for further upgrades and use cases...

I have a SP8 on pre-order - i7/16/256

Sounds like over-heating or the dGPU is dying Make sure there isn't dust build up in the vents

It was the Connected Standby Power State introduced in Windows 8 - allows for always on connectivity while maintaining battery life. It's like your smartphone - it can be in a low power state and still receive notification and calls.

Rumor is A11 this month or next...

Yep - It's running mostly fine, some reboots entering S0iX

Open PC Settings - System - Storage and it will give you a breakdown of what is occupying your space, my guess is you'll find you have a large number of Temp Files (including previous versions of Windows) and then Apps and System. It will walk you through deleting what you don't need.

If you have a License for Windows 10 Pro, just go to PC Settings - System - About and change the Key to Pro, no need to reinstall

I'm running Windows 11 on my Pro X with the new Office ARM64 Insider Build. Working well especially for an early build.

I'm running Windows 11 without any major issues, I'm also running the new ARM64 Office Insider Build. IIRC - the latest Firmware updates should have fixed that specific bug-check.

I have two SP X devices and neither has had this issue, sounds like a fluke. I have one on Windows 10 and one on Windows 11 currently.

Are these older applications? Some older application struggle on High DPI screens (like the Surface), you can attempt running the Application Troubleshooter Settings - Update and Security - Troubleshoot - Other Troubleshooters and select the one for Application Compatibility.

If it uses a AAAA battery then it is required for inking, unlike the Wacom EMR that current is in the screen, the Microsoft (N-Trig) Pen has the power in the pen. One thing you can try is remove the tip of the pen and put it back into the per barrel.

Look at you display properties under Settings-System-Display and select your external monitors and look at the DPI scaling - I would recommend that they be set to 100% with 1080 monitors.

Not sure the root cause but if I were to speculate it's probably because the SP4 was a pre-Threshold device and still has some legacy hooks - Microsoft is moving away from local anything - Cloud native and Cloud Services (not saying that it is the correct move)
