Joining most of its other stablemates, Microsoft’s original Surface Book this week picked up its own massive set of firmware updates.

And yes, these are largely related to the Spectre and Meltdown chipset flaws too.

“We released updates for Surface Book devices running Windows 10 Fall Creators Update version 1709 or greater to Windows Update,” Microsoft’s Scott McArthur writes in the Surface Blog for IT Pros. “These updates improve system stability, graphics performance, and resolve potential security vulnerabilities including Microsoft security advisory ADV180012 and ADV180013.”

The following updates are now available for Surface Book:

• Intel(R) AVStream Camera 2500 v30.15063.6.6082 improves system stability.
• Intel(R) CSI2 Host Controller v30.15063.6.6082 improves system stability.

• Surface UEFI Firmware v91.2289.769.0 resolves potential security vulnerabilities, including Microsoft Security Advisory 180012 and 180013.

Surface Book owners are no stranger to firmware updates of course, as these machines were the primary issue in Microsoft’s Surfacegate issues. But even in the scope of previous updates, this set is particularly noteworthy. And very similar to recent sets of massive updates for Surface Pro 4 and Surface Laptop, Surface Pro (2017), and Surface Book 2.
