If you own a Surface Pro 3, Microsoft will be pushing out new updates in the near future that will fix a few bugs and improve the experience you have with the device. Microsoft is providing the change-log ahead of time to keep the enterprise informed of upcoming changes.
So what all is going to be changed in the next update for the Pro 3? The change log is posted below:
Surface Pro UEFI update (v3.11.350.0)
- Resolves scenarios where the device will boot to a black screen if McAfee Defense Encryption 7.1.1 is installed.
- Optimizes the FWPOST time to 3.7 seconds with the fast boot enabled.
- Prevents situations where system clock loses time when battery falls below 3%.
Surface Home Button driver update (v2.0.1174.0)
- Along with the pen update below, this helps prevent scenarios where device may accidentally wake up from sleep while being stored or carried.
Surface Pen Settings driver update (v2.5.14.0)
