Many Windows laptop users know the frustration too well. You close the lid, put the laptop into your bag, and expect it to stay asleep. A few hours later, you take it out and find it warm, noisy, and almost out of battery. Nothing visibly crashed, there was no Blue Screen of Death, and Windows technically stayed "stable," but the experience was still terrible.

If you're using a Surface Pro, especially models like the Surface Pro 7, 8 or 9, you might have run into a really annoying issue after upgrading your SSD to something faster like a Gen4 NVMe. Everything works smoothly at first, performance feels great, and then out of nowhere the system freezes for a few seconds after waking from sleep. The desktop stops responding, apps hang for a moment, and then the whole device suddenly comes back to life like nothing ever happened. It's frustrating and makes a premium device feel unreliable.
