The new Surface Pro 6 from Microsoft adds another member to the tablet series. The new Windows device can also be turned on and off as usual with the power button. Of course, you can also shut down the Surface via Windows.

How to turn off the Surface Pro 6?

If you own the new Surface Pro 6, there are several ways to turn off the device. Sometimes it is necessary to force a shutdown because the device hangs.

1. You can turn off the tablet by pressing the Windows icon in the bottom left corner of Windows 10 and then pressing "On/Off". This is the button that then appears directly above the Windows icon.
2. Now select "Shutdown" from the menu. The tablet now shuts down and turns off.
3. You can also press and hold the power button on the device until a request appears asking if you want to shut down the device. Confirm this and the device will shut down.
4. It may happen that the Surface Pro hangs and stops responding. In this case, the above two methods will not work. Sie sollten jetzt den Netzschalter für etwa 10 Sekunden gedrückt halten, damit das Tablet sich notabschaltet.
5. Wenn Sie nach dem Herunterfahren den Netzschalter erneut drücken, schaltet sich das Gerät wieder ein und fährt wie gewohnt hoch.
