Surface Pro 11 Got a Firmware Update Too

Last week, I noted that Microsoft had delivered a firmware update for Surface Laptop 7, and that I was surprised the nearly identical Surface Pro 11 didn’t get the same basic update. But as it turns out, it did. And now that Microsoft has finally documented the release, we can see that it does indeed appear to be identical.

As with the Surface Laptop 7 update, the Surface Pro 11 firmware update is dated September 12. It’s unclear why the company waited over a week to explain itself. But here’s what’s new (again):

• 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.
• Addresses the problem that caused the occurrence of a black screen when trying to restart your device.

If you own a Surface Pro 11, I assume you’ve already installed this. But if not, check Windows Update to get it now.
