The new Surface Laptop

The Surface Laptop 7 has received a big new firmware update. It mainly focuses on resolving various issues and bugs, such as boot failures when USB-C ports are disabled, image distortion when waking up from sleep, better monitor compatibility, and more. Here is the official changelog:

  • Addresses a potential issue that prevented the device to Wake-on-Power (automatically start when they're reconnected to power) when connected via Dock3.
  • Fixes the issue of boot failure that occurs when USB-C is disabled using the SEMM tool.
  • Enhances the detection of certain Dell monitors when connected to a Targus docking station during power cycles.
  • Improves the identification of monitors connected via USB-DP when the USB-C port is disabled using the SEMM tool.
  • Resolves an issue with the Wake on LAN (WOL) feature that caused the system to automatically power on after being shut down.
  • Enhances the overall display experience by preventing the system from flickering and providing maximum resolution of the monitors connected to the Surface USB-C Travel Hub.
  • Addresses the issue with image distortion after the system wakes from Sleep mode.
  • Improves system stability which caused a bug check or system hang during sleep mode or transition between power states.
