Microsoft has prepared and released a big firmware update for the SQ2-based Surface Pro X. The latest release addresses multiple issues, such as a security vulnerability in the fingerprint authentication, bugs with the keyboard and trackpad, broken Caps Lock LED light, problems with waking the device up from sleep mode, and more. Here is the complete changelog:
- Addresses a fingerprint authentication bypass security vulnerability to prevent spoofing attacks.
- Fixes an issue where keypresses and the touchpad did not function correctly when connected to the device.
- Resolves an issue where waking the device from sleep mode required holding the power button instead of a simple tap or key press.
- Addresses the concern where the Slim Pen would unexpectedly charge when the device resumed from sleep mode, impacting power consumption.

- Mitigates a potential security vulnerability, increasing protection against unauthorized privilege.
