[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3298829, member: 9374"] So I'm rapidly losing my patience with Winblows. Stupid brand new Surface 7 Pro tablet keep hanging up, for 5-10 seconds, sometimes 3-4 times a minute. I've done a ton of research online, this has been a problem with Winblows for years, tons of suggestions like updating drivers, removing problem programs, etc. But this thing is BRAND. SPANKING. NEW. Like, literally, got it from Best Buy YESTERDAY. Updated everything on Winblows, the ONLY thing I have installed to this point is Google Chrome. I've removed Skype and the stupid OneCloud storage crap. Turn off notifications, increased the size of the page file, done multiple checks for updates, etc. And get this... this is the SECOND one this has happened with. I bought a Surface 6 Pro in March, used it mainly for work and websurfing in my recliner for 9 months until I dropped it and shattered the screen... so I took it back to Best Buy and had it refunded under the protection plan and got a new one, paying only for the new protection plan ($200). But it was having the same random freezes and was locking up completely, requiring hard reboots. So I thought maybe it was defective - so I went back yesterday and braved the Black Friday crap so I could try again. And here I am, having the same problem - probably worse, actually. I have got to have something like this for work... the last 9 months were much better with the Surface 6 Pro, but this is ridiculous. I'm actually thinking of switching to Mac now, after decades of using Winblows, but damn, Mac s**t costs at least double for the same functionality. If I had any hair, I'd be pulling it out. [/QUOTE]
