Trent, do you know if the flash update was for maybe flash 8 or 9 .....some websites says I need this to run the video thanks Dallasfreak
 
If you look in the Installed Updates, each update links to a KB article which includes some more detail. I had an odd thing happen today after installing the updates though which was a game went and corrupted the graphics display after running it for a while. Never seen that before, but may be a coincidence.
 
Was hoping there might be a fix for the Muting issue but allas no. It still lifes on on my Surface.
Have been trying to watch but it is most common when I use the Track Pad to wake the surface.

Mine is much snappier. Minesweeper seemed to have twice the framerate it had before. BTW, whoever designed the new Minesweeper deserves the Nobel Prize for Awesomeness!
