I have got a surface pro 2017 edition, and a surface dock, never had a problem with it untill I upgraded to 1803, now I cant get an external screen to work. Both screens simply flash off and on again.
I have even rebuilt my surface and got the same problem.
Has anybody else seen this or got any suggestions?

<p>Hi</p><p>ive got a SP3 and a bloc style surface dock. I have loads of niggling problems. </p><p>It often seems to trigger the sleep of death issue, which I’ve overcome by removing sleep from power options and use hibernate or power down. Often when I connect/disconnect the start icons disappear or remain blank of info. Fixed by opening file explorer and then task manager and restarting file explorer. Sometimes the internet won’t connect and remains on WiFi. If a printers connected to the usb then it’s hit or miss if it connects to print through.</p><p><br></p><p>ive updated the firmware but it’s not changed anything. My SP3 is hanging on but battery is pretty fried now and I get at best 4 hrs use so am holding on to see if they refresh with 8th gen intel chips soon, but even if they do I’m not entirely sure the surface line and dock is worth it’s price point. The surface form factor is great but quality/reliability leaves a lot to be desired IMO. </p><p><br></p><p>Like the previous surface dock, the bloc style dock isn’t all there IMO.</p><p><br></p><p>im looking at Lenovo and their docks seriously.</p>
