Surface Studio 2 firmware update brings critical security fixes and stability improvements

Microsoft’s Surface Studio 2 recently received a firmware update. The update is available for devices running the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version 1903) or higher. As is usually the case, there aren’t any new features with this firmware update. Instead, it includes several security fixes and stability improvements.

Here’s everything that’s new, as found on Microsoft’s support page for the device:

While the Surface Studio 2 looks like a modern device, it may not be able to upgrade to Windows 11 later this year. It’s not on the list of supported devices for Windows 11 at the moment. Many Surface devices have a “Free upgrade to Windows 11” badge on their Microsoft Store listings. The Surface Studio 2 does not, even though it’s the latest model from its respective category.

Updates to Surface devices roll out in stages, so you might not see this firmware update yet. You may have to click the “View optional updates” link in the Update section of the Windows Settings app to see the latest update. The update started rolling out on July 15, 2021.
