Sorry if this was already posted, but I have had 2 different Xbox One controllers randomly disconnect while in middle of gameplay. I'm connected through the built in xbox wireless adapter in the SB2 15". Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a problem with my system or is this something...

After disabling it, my performance went up a lot. With the patch enabled, Geekbench 4 had me at 4241 for Single and 11,398 for multi. After disabling the patch, single went up to 4618 and multi went to 13,106. Both tests were on "Better Performance." I would say that's fairly significant.

Awesome! I'll give it a go.

Thanks, Chris! I just installed it and it works perfectly now!!

Which one should I disable for improved performance? Spectre or Meltdown? Also, will the tool allow you to easily enable it as well?

I think I'll try that solution. I'm assuming it will tell me im patched or not. I think disabling it is a good idea for now. I was just working on doing employee reviews yesterday and noticed that things seemed slower than what I would expect from a $3K machine. For instance, opening and...

Do I need to do anything manual to remove it our does a MS update take care of that? I don't even know if I received the patch to begin with. All I see are cumulative updates.

Awesome! So if I download the GeForce experience app, I won't have to worry about that happening?

Thank you! I also uninstalled the GeForce application and the 3D Vision driver (I figured why would I need 3D drivers?) and everything went back to normal again with the Surface Detach button. I know this sounds like a stupid question, but how would I continue to update my Nvidia gpu driver if...

Thanks. Do you know if Microsoft is aware of the issue and going to patch it? The last time I called MS about it, they uninstalled it and things went back to normal.

Does anyone notice after installing the GeForce Experience application that you start getting a "Surface Detach: Action Required" message in the system tray? I just installed it (again) and after a reboot, this message appeared. Before installing the application, I never had this message.

Battlefield 1 plays flawlessly on the SB2! I just love the game even though I suck at it. Has anyone tried Mixed Reality on this system? All my Steam games work fine but I tried using the revive software to play my Oculus rift games and nothing happens when I click the Revive icon while I'm...

So I noticed there was a system update to the Surface Book 2 - I'm assuming that was the final patch for our systems. My machine took a pretty serious hit to performance. January 4th, Geekbench 4 had my single core performance at 4553 and today it's showing 4328. Multi core performance...

Quick update - I received support today from Microsoft and they fixed the problem for me and reporting it to the Developers for an upcoming patch. It had something to do with the latest Nvidia update not jiving with the latest Windows update. Once they removed the latest Nvidia update...

I noticed a strange issue beginning late last week after a Windows update. My Surface Detach icon in the system tray after an initial boot up states that action is required. When I click the button, the detach button on the keyboard turns red and a message pops up that Surface DTX will not...

I noticed a different issue with the dock eject indicator in the system tray for the SB2... every day I boot up, there's an exclamation point or something like that showing. When I hover over the icon, it tells me something requires my attention before I eject. When I click the icon, I get a...

Yes, as a matter of fact I just updated my drivers yesterday. Honestly, if you set it at better and not best performance, you won't see any discharge and I really can't tell the difference in performance. Even my benchmarks don't show any difference.

I think the power supply concern isn't a big deal. I was playing the Witcher 3 on the Best Performance setting and my battery only dropped 2% over an hour of playing.

That's a good question. After MS patched the other day, I retested performance using better performance and best performance and did not see any difference. I did the test after I lost about 3% of my overall performance due to the patch.

After my system updated earlier today, I re-ran Geekbench and got a 4% drop in performance for single core and a 2% drop in multi-core. This is for the Surface Book 2 15".
