I can't seem to find a AC power recovery option to auto turn back on the pc after a power loss.  I have 4 Surface Studios at different locations that i need to be able to access remotely at all times.  However when a power loss comes i would have to fly out to the site or get a trusted source to go turn them on when powerloss occurs as i can't find a bios setting to auto turn it on after power loss.  Is this intended or is there a setting i missing on the Surface Studio.

    You might consider UPS battery backup devices. I do not believe there is any

    setting that will do what you want.

    Thank you Barb.  I've considered that, but also considering that most laptops and desktops today have that feature in their bios options was wondering if Microsoft ever planned on upgrading their bios to offer the AC recovery feature offered on most devices today?  I feel like it's pretty standard these days and rather than me spending additional money on a 3kdollars/machine for a feature that quite honestly i would expect on a machine of this quality.  So didn't know if you had a source that could say if this feature is expected to be added in the future?  Thank you again for your time.

    they never divulge their plans. best advice is to use the Feedback Hub App and

    send it in as a suggestion.

    Hello Conan Javier,

    I believe you’re referring to a Wake On LAN setting.  Currently, the Surface Studio does not natively support this setting.  More information regarding this type of setting or options for implementing it can be found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us.

    Thank you,

    Jack B

    Thank you, no sir, i'm referring to Waking up after power loss i.e. building power goes out and then is restored machine comes on automatically once power restored.  This is a common bios setting now on all machines.  The surface just does not offer it.
