Last week Microsoft released new Intel Display Drivers and a firmware update for the Surface Pro 3 and Pro 4. At the time they didn’t publish any release notes but now we have official details of changes which includes audio updates network drivers and a UEFI update. After an initial period of display driver crashes my Surface Pro 3 seems to have settled down.
