Microsoft has issued a new firmware update for the Surface Laptop Ultra to address several problems that plagued the device at launch. The update, released on October 22, targets three main issues: screen flickering, unexpected restarts, and unusually long reboot times. Microsoft’s statement also mentions additional bug fixes and general performance enhancements.
Tech journalist Tom Warren encountered some of these quirks while reviewing the laptop, noting that the reboot process was “surprisingly slow” and that rapidly moving a window sometimes left a faint trail behind it. The latest firmware aims to resolve those concerns and improve overall stability.
