I wouldn't be surprised to discover that the constant stream of dodgy updates is responsible (rather than the hardware).

Somehow I doubt this is all due to software updates.In a survey of 90,000 tablet and laptop owners, Consumer Reports found that roughly 25 percent of Surface users have encountered "problems by the end of the second year of ownership."
And no, I'm not a hater. In fact if it wasn't for MS's slow show in updating the current Surface Book Pro, I'd have one of them instead of my recently bought Lenovo. REALLY wanted that Surface Book Pro, but wasn't going to pay top dollar for last year's tech. So yeah, I'd be owning a Surface Book had they released a new version by now.
Anyway if this is an issue I hope MS gets in fixed. They might also lower the prices, but that's another story for another time.
Consumer Reports stops recommending Microsoft Surface PCs over reliability concerns
Source: Consumer Reports stops recommending Microsoft Surface PCs over reliability concerns - The VergeConsumer Reports is stripping its "recommended" badge from Microsoft’s entire lineup of Surface PCs because the hardware was found to be "significantly less reliable than most other brands."
In a survey of 90,000 tablet and laptop owners, Consumer Reports found that roughly 25 percent of Surface users have encountered "problems by the end of the second year of ownership." Those problems include freezing, unexpected shutdowns, and touchscreen response issues. Reuters reported on the latest Consumer Reports reliability study, which was published on Thursday.
"These conclusions are based on our breakage rate estimates for laptops by the end of the second year of ownership, gathered from subscribers' experiences with 41,304 laptops purchased new between 2014 and the first quarter of 2017," the nonprofit publication wrote. This is not the kind of chart that Microsoft wants to see:
Thoughts? Personal Experience? FUD?
Of note on that list which is just 3 steps up form Microsoft has me thinking I should buy an extended warranty before my warranty upgrade Window expires
