Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop Ultra update fixes reboot and display bugs

Microsoft has released a fresh firmware update to resolve several frustrating software bugs affecting the Surface Laptop Ultra since its debut.

  • The October 22nd release specifically targets screen flickering, unexpected system restarts, and excessively lengthy reboot times.
  • Reviewer Tom Warren previously encountered sluggish reboots, visual ghosting trails when dragging windows, and loud speaker interference.
  • Microsoft suggests performing a manual system restart through the Start menu after installing the firmware to finalize the process.
  • The update is rolling out gradually to all Surface users, though owners can also install it manually via the official Microsoft driver page.
  • Once applied, this firmware update is permanent and cannot be uninstalled or reverted to an earlier version.
