I'm trying to diagnose a potential issue with my (fully up to date) Surface Pro 6. When I put it to sleep overnight it drops about 15-25% battery.
In my investigation, I wanted to look at both
powercfg /batteryreport
powercfg /sleepstudy
however, when I run these commands from an elevated cmd prompt I get the response
Unable to perform operation. An unexpected error (0xb7) has occurred: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
while true, battery-report.html, does exist... this doesn't matter on any other machine - it just overwrites it.
my powercfg works fine, if I run
powercfg /energy
it outputs the expected
Enabling tracing for 60 seconds...

Analysis complete.
Energy efficiency problems were found.

See C:\WINDOWS\system32\energy-report.html for more details.
This contains a bunch of USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend reports that I think, are from my Surface Dock. Run it unplugged and they aren't present.
Regardless, this isn't the problem I'm trying to solve here.
