Surface Book nightmare: Microsoft won't fix 'Sleep of Death' bug

Sampler

Even Worse

My CEO has a Pro4 and returned one due to sleep of death, she's a fiery Welsh woman so managed to wrangle a replacement out of the sales staff which now she doesn't set to sleep but instead full shuts down each time (not like it takes long to boot back up) BUT the problem is the battery discharges even whilst powered off.

I've checked all the power settings, checked all the updates, and the thing still drains power whilst appearing to be off (screen's definitely off, no fans, just cook in the laptop bag).

Meaning she can't take it to morning meetings as it needs plugging in first because even a fully charged battery doesn't last being turned off overnight.

I have a strong feeling this one's going back too and someone will be yelled at until she gets a refund!
