• New Surface Pro 3 firmware update reported

    Rich Woods at Neowin reports that Microsoft just released new firmware for the Surface Pro 3. Funny thing about that – the official update page says it was released on August 16.

    Surface Pro 3 devices on Windows 10 Anniversary Update 1607, that attach the new Surface Pro Type Cover and the Surface Pro Signature Type Covers

    My Surface Pro 3 is running Insider (Fall Creators Update) Fast Ring, so I can’t check.

    Can anybody out there confirm if the new set of drivers just went out the Auto Update chute? If so, can you confirm if the drivers are just for version 1607 (the Anniversary Update), as it says on the official update page? Or are they for 1703 as well?

    UPDATE: Paul Thurrott reports that the updates are only for version 1607. Which makes no sense to me, unless 1703 had the drivers and somebody forgot to put them in 1607.

    ANOTHER UPDATE: Barb Bowman reports that she just got three updates on her Surface Pro 3 that’s running Win 1703 — Keyboard, System, HIDClass – and they’re all dated March 3. Her three drivers version numbers correspond to three of the five driver updates listed on the official update page. But the dates are all wrong. Go figger.
