(Surface) Tip of the Day: Updates to the Surface Dock Updater Tool

  • Article

Today’s Tip…

Looking for a way to ensure that all Surface Docks in your environment are on the most current firmware?

Surface Dock Updater v2 now improves the reliability of Ethernet, Audio and USB, in addition to containing the video out updates that were in Surface Dock Updater v1.

The tool now also logs the MAC address and all the firmware component versions to the event log as soon as the application is opened and a Surface Dock is connected. We’ve also made small changes to the UI, to accommodate the USB hub updates and address feedback we received about the original version.
