Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book owners all have firmware updates this month with the Pro 4 and Surface Book getting the most fixes. For the Surface Pro 3 there are just updates for the Surface Dock but for the Pro 4 and Surface book there are a lot of driver updates including controller firmware, graphics update and camera updates. The Surface Pro 3 doesn’t really need a lot of changes to it being around for well over a year whereas there are still plenty of issues with the newer Surface devices.
All the updates will come down via Windows Update. All doesn’t look well in Surface land as I am seeing lots of Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book owners struggling with BSOD and drive download issues.
