October firmware update

[Kris]

Anyone able to get the pen driver to work on Windows 10?

The Firmware Update History was updated:

• Surface Pen Driver (v2.0.1145.0) enables additional upcoming configuration options for Surface Pro 3

Crazy, it fixed my Logitech caps lock issue. Windows 8.1 is a strange beast.

I am still suffering form *occasional* glitches though ... but that might be because I am swapping between host and guests in side a VM

The real October firmware update is here ...

• Surface Pro UEFI update (v3.11.250.0) enhances the system stability, increases the reliability of the graphics display performance, and adds a status bar to the experience when applying future System Firmware Updates.

• Surface Pro Embedded Controller Firmware update (v38.7.50.0) increases the reliability of sleep state transitions with a Surface Pro 3 Docking Station connected.

• Surface Integration update (v2.0.1168.0) addresses setting the Hibernate value in Windows 10.

• Intel(R) 8 Series PCI Express Root Port #3 – 9C14 update (v2.0.1151.0) addresses cases when the Wi-Fi adapter is not available upon resuming the system from sleep.

• Wireless Network Controller and Bluetooth driver update (v15.68.3059.117) improves Wi-Fi throughput, especially after rebooting with Bluetooth devices that are paired, enhances power consumption situations, and addresses instances of system instability.

Installed this without problem and as of now it seems to have fixed my Bluetooth mouse smoothness reduction issue.

Btw, it reverted my HD graphic driver to the old 3496..

 

[Aegeas]

The HD graphics driver update isn't a big deal. You want the hardware firmware update that is in the firmware and then you can update to the latest software driver as you see fit. That, my friends, is the good thing about a Windows box.

So does windows 10 download these firmware updates?

Weird - didn't do that for me. Still 3977.

when I was using Windows 10 it did...

 

[VickiFL]

Just got the firmware update just now. I was mistaken about the updates I spoke of earlier. This new SP3 is less than a week old, so I imagine I will be getting a lot of updates for a while.

Ya, so looks like Intel driver for me is still the 3496 from March even after this new 10/28 update. I hadn't manually updated to new drivers so looks like this firmware update does nothing to the Intel graphics driver. Ugh.
