Also make sure you have at least Win 10 20H2 update. This fixed a lot of issues for me aside from the 30 second freeze that occurs where my keyboard and mouse stop responding for 30 seconds, but that was mostly fixed due to several firmware updates to my Surface Pro 6. However, I do feel that...

Coming up on year 3 with this Surface Pro 6 and the original alcantara type cover is still going strong. Surface Pro 6 recognizes it everytime. I also finally lost that weird bug where the Surface Pro 6 would stop responding to input for 30 seconds to 1 minute before responding again. I think...

Nice, never noticed that before. Thought it was part of a 20H2 update. Good to know it was there way before.

I guess part of the 20H2 update includes an on screen touchpad? I haven't seen this before until tonight. That's pretty cool. So you can control the mouse when in tablet mode with the touchscreen mouse pad I guess. Pretty cool. Going to try it out.

Hmmm, dunno. This is what comes up under my update history

Just got an "optional quality update for Windows 10 20H2 update that I just got last week. I wonder what's going on. Gonna look up what happened to people with 20H2 when they first updated and see if there are some issues that came up.

2nd gen Surface Dock is probably the best, however, Belkin makes a really nice one but it requires you to detach the keyboard and have an external one. It turns the Surface Pro into a "Surface Studio-Like" device.

KB4562830. I didn't post it before because, as you saw in the screenshot, it was not showing up anywhere on the PC. I pulled the KB number from the web.

Windows 10 20H2 is out now. Hopefully that update doesn't break it again...

Looked it up and the update was really just a Registry change to enable updates that were hibernating in my Surface Pro 6 since the last update I installed. Basically flipping a switch to enable the features of an update I had already downloaded a while ago. Regardless, feels fast and smooth...

Now I'm getting Windows 10 20H2 update. Doesn't seem like an optional update, but since it's not requiring me to install it, it does feel like they want me to "guinea pig" it. Not sure I want to test it out.

Whoops, didn't check the KB numbers. Nvm my last post.

Just went from "optional" to this: Here we go. Installing now

Showed up as an optional update for me... Dunno if I want to install it tho...

Ah, I have never had the touchpad quit working, but I have had the computer lock up for a good 30-40 seconds before it starts responding to any input, keyboard OR mouse (touchpad or not), again. Thankfully I haven't had that issue in a long time now and only needed the WiFi and rebooting to get...

Nice, I am noticing that it does a lot better waking from sleep too. For the past few days when I wake it up its much more reliable. I used to reboot every time it woke from sleep due to either the wifi radio not powering on and the icon saying "no internet connection" or the computer wouldn't...

Yeah, I'm installing those updates now. Just got them on Windows Update. I thought 5th generation was the 2017 Surface Pro, but it must also affect Surface Pro 6's. Maybe someone forgot to mention it in the update description? Dunno.

I say get the battery replaced but only because I would try to do the replacement myself so I can upgrade the SSD in there to something like 3TB nvme. You run Apricorn EZ gig to clone the drive before opening the Surface Pro 6 up at all. Once the drive is cloned, carefully open the Surface Pro 6...

This is my daily struggle with my Surface Pro 6. If someone can figure this out, it would be amazing. I like to use my Surface Pro 6 in Tablet Mode at 200% scaling, but once I attach the keyboard to use it like a regular computer, I end up changing the scaling to 100% for more real estate...

So far so good. No lockups yet.
