Microsoft has released a new firmware update for its previous-gen Windows on ARM tablet, the Surface Pro 9 5G. The latest update delivers two important fixes: one patches a bug breaking USB-C ports, and another one fixes blue screen of death occurrences.
Note: This update is not available for the Intel-based version of the Surface Pro 9. The Intel version has its own firmware updates.
Here is the official changelog for the Surface Pro 9 5G's September 2024 firmware update:
The following update is available for Surface Pro 9 with 5G (SQ3 Processor) devices running Windows 11 Update, Version 22H2, or greater.
Improvements and fixes:
- Resolves an issue that prevented the device from using the USB-C functionality after the system had booted.
- Enhances the stability of the device, reducing the occurrence of blue screen.
Here is the list of new drivers:
| Windows Update Name | Windows Device Manager |
|---|---|
| Surface - Firmware - 5.100.139.0 | Surface System Aggregator - Firmware |
| 1.0.3933.9300 | Qualcomm (R) System Manager Device - System devices |
