So I have finally given up. After a full month of attempting to stumble along with a half broken (by Microsoft!) Surface Pro 2 I finally got the much anticipated and hoped for January Firmware.
This installed with no issue and to begin with the signs were positive.
The day before yesterday though the problems started to return. Although the machine appeared to “sleep” now, the machine always woke with 100% capacity.
That was a freak I thought. A one off. Sadly it was not the case. Everytime it woke from sleep it was going back up to 100%.
Given the cost of the product, and the fact the product wasn’t very old I contacted Microsoft who have said the will swap the unit.
Not happy at all…
