I have bought a surface book 3 for business a few weeks ago. It is getting very hot (touching is burning the fingers), even though I hear the ventilation. In addition, I already had 2 unexpected shutdowns. What should I do?

    @ThomasStetter-3319
    Hi,

    Try to set the power profile to better-performance while plugged in, and best-performance while unplugged.

    Also, go into UEFI and set battery limit:

    Hope above information can help you.
