I will try this firmware update as soon as I go home. However, I'm not holding my breath!

If you are still under warranty, try your best to get it replaced with a new one. With SP4, this issue was never fixed and I won't be surprised if they can't fix this issue with SP6. Good luck!

Thanks for update. I'm glad it finally worked out for you. Unfortunately for those of us out of warranty, we are still suffering from this weird issue.

Welcome to the party. Just joking. My i5 128GB SP4 is also experiencing battery drain after full shutdown. Mine is about 4-5% per 24 hour period. I've tried pretty much everything under the sun including full reset. At this point, I see no hope.

I have a very similar setup. I do occasionally lose connection to my monitors but that's rare. Lately though, I do lose network connection if my SP4 is locked for more than a few minutes. It wasn't like this before, but seems to have started recently.

I have Windows Hello facial recognition set up. After the latest update (1809), when I boot up my SP4, I get a message saying "Something went wrong. Please sign in with you PIN". At that point, I can type in my PIN to log in or I can click on the sign in options and choose facial recognition...

I think you can manually update the driver? Download the file then manually update it. Download Intel® Management Engine Driver (5M) for Windows 7*, 8.1*, and Windows® 10 for Intel® NUC Kit NUC5i5MYHE

That's how I have it except mine is a tile instead of a shortcut. :)

Do you have fast startup disabled on your Surface Book? I remember vaguely that I had to disable that AND use the full shutdown command to minimize the battery drain while being shutdown. I kind of doubt you have the fast startup disabled and if so I'm really puzzled on what is causing this...

So I did another test by shutting down my SP4 at 84%. Today I powered it up after about 20 hrs and it had 81%. So mine is not as bad ad jeffrodrig's machine but certainly not ideal as it really shouldn't lose 4-5% battery every 24 hours after a full shutdown and nothing is using energy. There...

I did another test by shutting off at 90% battery. Turning it back on after 26 hours the battery was at 86%. So it lost 4% over 26 hours and I guess that is acceptable. I wish it lost less but better than losing 5% over 6 hours like jeffrodrig's battery.

The UEFI firmware version I have is: BIOS Version/Date Microsoft Corporation 108.2318.769, 8/14/2018 I do want to stress that I am using the "Full" shutdown command as shown above so I'm not entirely sure if that is preserving my battery life after the shutdown or the new firmware. In any...

How do I get the UEFI firmware version?

Update: I've done all the latest update and used a shortcut to "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /f /t 0" to shutdown and after 24 hours the battery was still 100%. I did notice the shutdown and startup takes a little longer but not enough to bother me. So I'm happy with the result.

I saw many old threads on this issue and was hoping it's been resolved. I guess I was wrong!

I have a surface pro 4 i5 4GB that has all the latest updates. When I "shutdown" from the menu, I find the battery still drains over night (5-10%). I mainly use a work laptop so I only occasionally use my surface. So after a few days of non use, I sometimes find it completely dead. I tried a...

I followed your instruction and then restarted my SP4. And to my delight, Edge is performing much better now. I ended up uninstalling Chrome. Thank you!

I wanted to give Edge a chance so I've been using it for a while. My SP4 is updated to the latest and every single time I use Edge, it stalls. When I try to open a page, it often just sits there and spins. I have to close the browser or tab and restart and sometimes that works. Few days ago I...

Weird but I don't have the Power Management option as mentioned in that thread.

Well, I can definitely sympathize with your situation. However, I really can't blame MS or any other company for following the warranty period. I know yours was ONLY 11 days past but what about 15 days? 27 days? When would it be fair for a company to honor their warranty? I know a lot of...
