Microsoft Surface Book 2 and Surface Pro 6 updates causing CPU throttling and WiFi is
Microsoft pulled the Windows 10 May 2019 for the Surface Book 2 after users reported NVIDIA GPU disappearing from the system. Now, the latest update for Surface devices are causing a different issue altogether. The Redmond-based company is working to fix CPU throttling issues observed on the newest Surface models. There are also owners of Surface devices complaining about WiFi issues and Microsoft has acknowledged that it is working on a fix.
“We are aware of some customers reporting a scenario with their Surface Books where CPU speeds are slowed. We are quickly working to address via a firmware update,” a Microsoft spokesperson told TechRepublic in a statement. The CPU throttling issue is affecting both the Surface Book 2 and the Surface Book 6. A number of users have registered a variety of complaints on Reddit. These reports note that the processors are being throttled all the way down to 400MHz, which would make it super slow. It is not clear what is causing the processors to throttle down to such levels. The throttling does appear related to an Intel CPU flag being locked on by mistake, according to TechRepublic. This causes the CPU to throttle as the flag makes it to think that there is a thermal limit.
