| Symptom | Workaround |
|---|---|
| There is an issue initiating the Eye Contact feature on the February 28, 2022 update on devices that have taken the Windows 11 update. | To initiate the feature (or turn it off), you must toggle the feature within Settings. You will need to do this each time the Camera is used.

Microsoft says it is working on fixing the problem in a future update. Luckily, it is not as severe as the bug found in the May 2022 firmware update for the first-gen Surface Go, where users ended up with bricked devices after installing the latest patches.
