Surface Pro 3 Firmware Updates

[sahilln]

Did anyone else not receive the firmware updates from Microsoft yet? Do you know when we should get them?

Just "look for updates"....

 

[sahilln]

I did that but all I received were security updates and generic windows 8 updates. I did not see anything specific for the surface.

 

[smoheath]

Same for me. No firmware updates yet.

I did the generic windows 8 updates no firmware update, came back about an hour later just to make sure and a firmware update popped up..

 

[sahilln]

Interesting. They must be rolling them out slowly. I feel like the features they fixed are the only problems I have so I want the updates really bad. Haha.

I still am not seeing them.

Mine is 95% downloaded. I have not seen a change log.

 

[mozman68]

I didn't see a changelog either, but they listed it on the main page here in the story about the update.

Update completed. Will test my BT headset to see if they now hold connection. That was my only issue.

 

[sahilln]

Hopefully we get them tomorrow!

I didn't get one, either. I'm rather getting tired of having to turn wifi off and back on every time I wake this thing from sleep. They needed to be on that today.

Still no firmware updates showing up for me.

Did a search and found this:
Download Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs from Official Microsoft Download Center

So my Bluetooth disconnect/reconnect was not fixed with the firmware. I removed the BT device. Then re-paired it and the problem appears to have stopped. Admittedly, I had not tried that before the FW update.

Everything started up and worked perfectly for me this morning. I personally wasn't THAT much bothered by the WiFi bug, but being new to Windows 8 and instant on, waiting less than 10 seconds for a restart was fine for me knowing it would be fixed.

 

[sahilln]

I'm completely new to windows 8 as well. How long does it usually take for these updates to push out?

I haven't received the updates yet either, but I did find this at the MS forums.

The following updates will be listed as ?System Firmware Update ? 7/8/2014? within the Windows Update History.

? Surface Pro Embedded Controller Firmware (v.38.2.50.0) reducing power consumption, and enhancing system stability.
? Surface Pro System Aggregator Firmware (v. 3.8.250.0) enhancing battery life, and increasing efficiency and reliability in low power states.
? Surface Type Cover Firmware Update (v. 2.0.1021.0) improving trackpad reliability and system stability.

Note When Surface updates are provided via the Windows Update service, they are delivered in stages to Surface customers. As a result, not every Surface will receive the update at the same time, but the update will be delivered to all devices. If you have not received the update then please manually check Windows Update later.

Long press the Windows button on your desktop (or hold the stylus on it and tap the upper mouse button). Open Control Panel. Open Windows Update. Tap Check for updates in the upper-left corner of the Windows Update dialog box. See if you have any updates to install.
