Issue with Surface Pro 4 waking up. Please help!

Hey everyone, I'm new to the formum and I was hoping to get some help regarding my new Surface Pro 4. The issue I'm, having is that whenever my Surface Pro sleeps or hibernates I am unable to wake it back up. When this happens I have to do a hard reset each time which gets annoying. My device is up to date as of 02-03-2016 and I've tried turning off hibernate and altering what pushing the power button does but nothing seems to solve the problem. Any insight would be appreciated.

Try resetting to OS so that default settings are restored. The surface tablets use a couple unique features regarding power settings. Changing them can cause problems.


Do not reinstall your OS from scratch, I've interpreted (possibly incorrectly) Microsoft's policy that this voids your warranty.

I do not have this problem but others do. This issue is dealt with on the Microsoft Community Surface forum. You might check it out.

Unfortunately this appears to have been a problem with a certain amount of these computers...a bad batch perhaps.
I believe that most of the problems (I will list my own) are updating from version 10240 to 10586.
Have had to RTM two different ones within two weeks faults being....unable to wake, freezing, graphics display driver kept cutting out or variable light, faulty registry source files missing, advised by seller to clean install which did not solve the problems.
The second one was RTM,d this week.
What I will say is when working a fabulous piece of kit, and will certainly repurchase one when these faults are eradicated.
