You'll find info about it over at answers.microsoft.com,

Also, if you look at your reliability history activity, you'll find what devices and updates were applied.

Big fix for flickering screens on the SB and the SP4 as well. I think this was effecting mostly SB users

Still no display driver crash fix. Crashes same as before.

Just out of curiosity, anyone have any idea if MS modifies the intel drivers in-house or if they outsource/order the spec from intel?
Given the issues thus far I'd suspect the latter, but it never hurts to ask...

All OEMs modify their drivers for their device specific parameters, unless the OEM is using one of Intel Reference Designs.

With that said, Intel works directly with the Surface Software and Hardware Engineers on their drivers.

Mods, do people from Microsoft read in here? After todays update, I still have the rather annoying bug that Airplane mode is highlighted, when it is in fact off. Pressing it turns on airplay mode, and it remains highlighted. Pressing it again finally deselects airplane mode and it displays correctly, until next time windows hibernates. It's a superficial bug, but annoying non the less. If not here, where is the best place to raise awareness to Microsoft for this bug.

I highly doubt it. Try answers.microsoft.com, although I don't know if they are real microsoft people either. You could also use the feedback app within Windows 10.

Use the Windows Feedback app for things like that. Most likely way Microsoft will get the message. Search for it first though as its likely someone else has already reported it.

Being that there is another very similar thread with nearly the same topics follow up here. Firmware Update 18 Nov | Microsoft Surface Forums

I noticed that Airplane mode bug but it's working so I ignored it.

This one is closing..
