Windows 10: Surface Book 2 USB and Docking Problems

Has anyone encountered this issue?
ALWAYS after startup, my Surface Book 2 touchpad freezes for 1-3 seconds several times. After it's done freezing, it gives off the "USB has connected" sound, stops freezing, then does it again and again for about 4-5 times. After it's done with that, it NEVER freezes again until the next startup. What's funny is that, during the freeze, the touch on the screen still works with no problems.
Additionally, NONE of the USB slots are working, despite uninstalling all usb drivers in device manager, disabling suspension of usb in regedit, and reformatting.
I'm guessing this is a hardware issue?

The Surface Book 2 is on the Windows 10 build 17134







This is what happens when my surface base touchpad freezes. It makes a USB connection sound, then shows this in device manager, then it makes another of the same sound, and it resolves. When it resolves, touchpad can be used, but this repeats and freezes about 4-5 times every startup

Surface Book and Dock Issues

I have a surface book and a surface dock.

Recently (april 2019) I ran into the problem that the USB ports on the dock did not work when the surface book was on. MS support asked me to update firmware and that failed too. So thanks to them, they replaced both my surface docks. - Again Thanks MS.

Here is a new problem (and yes I had to update the firmware on the new docks too. Yes I have the latest drivers for my monitor.)

1. I use extended display, with the mini display port and using cables from MS

2. I use the surface book fully folded down (meaning display is up so I can write freely and the base is docked, but the keys cannot be used).

3. My monitor is in portrait more.

4. Every now then the display will stop working on the extended monitor mode and will only display on the surface screen, Then suddenly in one of the reboots it will start working again and continue till it cycles again

5. What I found to trigger this behavior is when I am traveling or using the surface in a standalone mode and then plug it back on my desk it occurs. Thought not all the times

Any idea what is going on?

Running Windows 10, build 1809 (latest) with all updates

 

2nd monitor with surface book and dock does not play nice

1. The new Microsoft surface dock.

2. No, it has always behaved that way with the surface book and surface dock.

3. Using the default display drivers that came with the surface book. - windows update does not show any alternatives.
