Troubleshooting
Device will not power on
Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to the device and a working power outlet. Try a different USB Type-C cable and power adapter if available. Press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds to attempt a hard reset.
Slow performance or application crashes
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check for and install available Windows updates and driver updates. Restart the device. If the issue persists, consider uninstalling and reinstalling problematic applications.
Wi-Fi connection is unstable or slow
Restart your Surface Pro and your Wi-Fi router. Ensure you are within range of the router. Check if Wi-Fi 7 is supported by your router; if not, the device will connect at a lower standard. Forget the network in Wi-Fi settings and reconnect.
Touchscreen is unresponsive
Clean the screen with a microfiber cloth. Restart the device. Check in Device Manager under 'Human Interface Devices' for any errors related to the touchscreen. Update drivers if necessary.
Battery drains faster than expected
Check the battery usage by app in Windows settings to identify power-hungry applications. Reduce screen brightness. Disable background app activity for non-essential apps. Ensure power mode is set to 'Balanced' or 'Power saver' when high performance is not needed.
