Surface Laptop 7, Surface Pro 11 Get August 2025 Firmware Updates

Microsoft has released new firmware updates for Surface Laptop 7th Edition and Surface Pro 11th Edition, the Snapdragon X-based Copilot+ PCs it first shipped in mid-2024. That is, these updates are not for the Surface Laptop 13-inch and Surface Pro 12-inch models that Microsoft released earlier this year.

The firmware updates appear to be identical. Both include:

• A new battery-charging feature in the Surface app to extend the battery life and improve flexibility, allowing users to choose options for smart charging, limiting to 80 percent, or temporarily charging to 100 percent.
• Fixes for security, reliability, performance, and usability. More specifically, a fix that addresses security vulnerabilities that might expose the system to an insecure state, a fix for an issue that caused unexpected shutdowns to occur after updates were installed and shutdowns related to the monitor display, and a fix for an issue that caused the backlight to flash when devices were used at the lowest brightness level.

• New driver versions across a wide range of components.

The latest firmware updates for Surface Laptop 13-inch and Surface Pro 12-inch arrived in June.
