Review Context
Reviewers previously experienced issues with the device, including slow reboots and visual trailing when moving windows rapidly. Speaker interference issues that sounded like firecrackers were also noted, though it remains unclear if the new patch specifically targets that audio glitch.
Installation Steps
Microsoft notes that additional steps may be required after installing the firmware update.
Users are advised to manually restart the Surface device to complete the installation process by navigating through the Start menu.
The update rolls out gradually to all Surface Laptop Ultra units, but owners can manually install the files from the official driver and firmware page. Once applied, the firmware cannot be uninstalled or reverted.
