At least two Surface devices are receiving firmware updates today. Among them is the first-ever firmware update for Surface Studio.
As is sadly typical, Microsoft has yet to document these updates on its Surface update history website. The Surface Studio update history page, for example, notes that “There are no available updates for Surface Studio at this time.”
