This is not the first time when users have complained about overheat issues after installing the latest Windows updates. Back in June, Windows 10 Mobile owners complained about overheat problems after installing build 14364. Today, just like in June, Microsoft’s Support Team hasn’t been able to offer a fix for this issue, although other Surface Book users have confirmed they are experiencing the same problem.

Users haven’t confirmed if the overheat issue occurs when they turn on Cortana and pin it to the taskbar. Oftentimes, the culprit for this issue is Cortana,. If you encounter this problem on your Surface Book, you should turn off the assistant and unpin it from the Start screen. Hope someone is also having the same problem. By the way the screen gets hotter while the keyboard is dead cold. ( this might indicate the processor in the screen is used for everything).
