Microsoft Surfaceowners got some goodnewsas Microsoft decided it’s time to update their devices.Windows Updatebrings some new goodies, so users are advised to head over there and check them out. Microsoft recently rolled out a fewdriverand firmware updates for Surface devices running theWindows 10 April Update.

New Intel drivers

Users claim that it seems theupdatesinclude new Inteldriversand a new Surface system firmware update for theSurface Book 2. Reports also say that the very sameupdatesrolled out to the Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop as well.

There are also some devices that haven’t been updated just yet, and these include the Surface Laptop, theSurface Book2, and theSurface Pro. There aren’t any pages that document updates for these systems yet.

The updates might cause trouble with BitLocker

It seems that the latestupdatemight have caused someBitLocker problems, but this could have only been an isolated issue. Many users reported that the latest firmware update for theSurface Book2 locked them out of their devices with BitLocker. Some users claimed that this is the exact reason for which they haven’t activated BitLocker on their systems.

Some users also find it pretty strange that whenever Microsoft releases a new Windows version, the company also has to update the firmware in their own systems to fix theproblems that have been triggered in the latest OS version, but we’re all used to this by now.

More changelogs are probably on their way and also more devices runningWindows 10April 2018 Update will likely receiveupdatesrather sooner than later, and we’ll make sure you’ll find out when this happens.
