It’s starting to sound a lot like Surface Pro 3 batterygate, and the SP3’s second batterygate. InfoWorld Woody on Windows.

Just seems like these problems with Surface’s keep coming to light. This is not a cheap tablet, and I have to wonder why this is happening to a Microsoft designed product? The Surface was supposed to be the absolute best Windows experience? I know I have definitely seen a lot of Surface refurbs out there. A tell tale sign something is up with quality control.

It’s disconcerting. First we had unending driver/firmware updates trying to get the Skylake processors in Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 to work. Then we had batterygate with the Surface Pro 3. Then the batterygate 2.0 problem. Now flickering screens on Surface Pro 4s.

Maybe somebody will tear down a deficient Surface 4 to possibly reveal the root cause.

Bear in mind that MS is a novice OEM = lack manufacturing experience.

Sometimes, it is not wise to have your finger in too many pies = too greedy.

Not too sure that this issue is isolated to Surface. I’ve been experiencing sluggish performance and weird taskbar and desktop flickers after updating to 14393.969.
