The

Surface Hub Hardware Diagnostic tool

available for free from the Microsoft Store.

The tool is designed to help you make sure your Surface Hub is performing at its best. It
contains tests to determine if your firmware is up to date and configured correctly.
Interactive tests allow you to confirm essential functionality is working as expected. If
problems are encountered, results can be saved and shared with the Surface Hub
Support Team. Click on the link to install it from the Microsoft Store, and then pin the
application to your taskbar.

There are several power settings available to get the best experience using Windows
10/11 Pro or Enterprise on Surface Hub 2. This includes screen and pc timeouts and how
they interact with the built-in human presence detection (Doppler), the screen saver and
password protection, and then if appropriate how to by-pass group policy power
settings intended for laptop / desktop users.

Windows 10/11 Pro or Enterprise on Surface Hub 2 keeps the screen from going to
sleep by touch, mouse, and keyboard actions, as well as the built-in human occupancy
detection (Doppler). Human occupancy detection is enabled by default, but if desired it
can be disabled in UEFI by toggling the device option in the Surface UEFI Configurator
tool either as part of the initial migration, or by building and applying a later UEFI
configuration package.

2. Set the power mode slider to

3. Configure screen and sleep values to your preference while also accounting for

Doppler presence detection that wakes up the device when movement is detected.
Accordingly, as a best practice, it's recommended to set Screen to

hours

and the PC to

Turn off after 4 hours.
