MSFT Surface Deep Restart
With the Surface already on…
- Hold down the power button for 30 seconds. (This turns off the Surface.)
- Hold down both the power button and the volume up button for 15 seconds. (This turns off the Surface even more.)
- Wait 10 seconds. (This really offends the Surface.)
- Press the power button. (This turns on the Surface.)
The Surface will start and otherwise intractable problems might just be fixed (e.g. Non-responsive Typecovers have been known to respond after this.)
