Microsoft has announced the availability of a new cumulative firmware and drivers pack targeted at its Surface Book and Pro 4 devices, namely the December 7 (2017) update, which addresses the producer’s 170012 security bulletin, and more.

Specifically speaking, the current update installs new Surface Management Engine, UEFI, and dTPM (IFX) firmware versions to resolves potential security vulnerability, as well as the Intel’s 11.7.0.1040 Management Engine Interface that improves recovery from Connected Standby and UEFI update requires.

In addition to that, Surface Pro 4 tablet also gets a new Intel Precise Touch Device HID (2.0.99) to enhance multi-touch and pen connectivity, as well as the 103.1791.258.0 Embedded Controller Firmware and 1.0.171.1 Integration versions that improve system reliability.

If you plan to upgrade to this release, you should know that this task can be carried out either automatically via Microsoft’s Windows Update service or manually by downloading and installing the package.

Even though the first approach is more natural, take into account that not all Surface owners receive this new firmware at the same time as the producer provides every new update in stages. If you are anxious and want it now, apply it by manually saving and installing the appropriate file.

That said, download Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Firmware December 7, 2017, or download Microsoft Surface Studio Firmware December 7, 2017, install it, enjoy the new changes brought by this new release, and check our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”
