Any updates? Still getting really hot?

Yeah, definitely sounds like something is up with this Surface Pro 8. My mother in law's Pro 8 hasn't had ANY of these kind of battery issues in her 6 months of ownership and she uses it everyday for work whether on the go or docked. 6 months of use shouldn't ruin a battery THAT quickly.

What are your power settings set to? If you have it on "Best Performance" then chances are it can heat up really quickly.

Funnier part was when I enabled the in world webcam for the Teams meeting and my work avatar's mouth was moving and eyes were blinking. Teammates loved it.

Just hosted some shows/movies in the BigScreen App using BigScreen Remote Desktop from my Surface Pro 6 and into the BigScreen VR app on Oculus Quest 2. I was able to host 8 people and made it through a 2hour long movie. Granted, I had to lower the bitrate a little bit, my Surface Pro 6 powered...

Well, I'm not currently using 4 screens as I doubt there is a need, but I guess I could fire up one more since I'm using my gaming laptop and not the Surface Pro 6 just yet, but I will still try it out to see how it performs anyway. Regardless, this is a great way to get work done IMO as it...

I've had a Quest 2 VR headset for a month or so now and am really interested in the Immersed VR app. Just wondering if any Surface Pro 6 users in here have tried it out yet. I'm curious to see how the Surface Pro 6 handles up to 5 displays in the virtual world as well as the passthrough...

Interesting how this issue is still ongoing. Here I am getting ready to upgrade to a Surface Pro 8 and give this Surface Pro 6 to my wife to use as her personal computer. I doubt an Android device could ever replace a Windows desktop OS device, but hey...

Surface Pro 6 was running a bit sluggish for a bit now and then I installed this cumulative update and man is it performing way better! Anyone else get this update yet? Feeling better about it now....

If it's turned on by default, the Surface Pro would never charge past 50% when plugged into a charger. It's only needed when docked permanently, but being a flexible device that can be mobile means you will need access to the full charge of the battery.

I think people that leave their Surface Pros plugged in to a docking station all the time or plugged into power all of the time need to have this enabled in the BIOS so that the battery doesn't start bulging like crazy...

I have experienced VDI on a Surface Pro device and it works fine....but it's VDI....and the VDI always has random issues that have nothing to do with the Surface Pro and everything to do with the VDI failing.

Def using Citrix. didn't know you could use it with anything else, but it's terrible and ALWAYS locks up, stutters, users can't logon, VDI's end up having to be rebuilt because they're corrupting and failing to install updates etc. It's a hott mess and I doubt it's the configuration. I actually...

VDI is a nightmare and shouldn't be used IMO. People try to have Microsoft Teams video calls over a VDI and obviously it fails, stutters, and has PLENTY of issues. At my job they are phasing out VDI and issuing laptops instead for better performance/reliability/etc. No, the touchscreen does...

I started out as a massive iPad fan until I got my iPad Air 2 and learned that it STILL could not open some videos, websites, other content online. I would keep getting an error "...this content not available on mobile device..." and just got angry and sold it to a local GameStop and waited for...

I have a Surface Pro 6 with the Grey Signature Type Cover and was wondering if any crumbs, sand, or dirt gets under the touchpad would you have to just try and use a whole can of compressed air to get all of the dirt grains out or can you pop it off clean underneath and pop it back on safely...

UPDATE: So I have been regularly using my Surface Pro 6 on Windows 11 and I have noticed that battery seems pretty much the same. I hit 6 hours using the device for consumption browsing the web, reading articles, the occasional video here or there. Using it for work with the brightness turned...

This is the biggest reason to get any Surface Tablet over any iPad. So many restrictions on iPad. "video not available on mobile" website takes you to the mobile version only and you can't get all of the functions on the website because the mobile site is watered down and missing links, you can...

I'm not on the Insider program, but it finally showed up in my Windows update in Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 6 last night. Maybe it's just a matter of time before they roll it out for your Surface device?

Move the power button way to the right? You mean on the Surface Pro 8? Otherwise, pressing and holding on the start menu button brings up an option to reboot/shutdown pretty quickly and easy to access. Surface Pro 6 lock button is in a good position though and I had the same concerns about the...
