Troubleshooting

Device not turning on

Ensure the device is properly connected to the power adapter and the outlet is functional. Press and hold the power button for at least 10 seconds. If using a keyboard cover, try disconnecting it and then pressing the power button.

Poor Wi-Fi performance

Restart your Surface Pro and your Wi-Fi router. Ensure you are within range of the router. Check for any available Wi-Fi driver updates in Windows Update. Confirm your router supports Wi-Fi 7 standards for optimal performance.

Screen unresponsive to touch

Restart your Surface Pro. Ensure the screen is clean and free of debris. Check for any Windows updates, particularly for display drivers. If the issue persists, check Device Manager for any errors related to touch screen drivers.

Applications running slowly

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check for Windows updates and driver updates. Ensure your storage is not critically low. For intensive applications, consider if the Intel Core Ultra 5 meets the recommended specifications.

NFC authentication not working

Ensure NFC is enabled in Windows settings. Make sure your NFC badge or card is compatible and held close to the NFC reader area on the device. Restart the Surface Pro and try again. Check for any relevant driver updates.
