Surface Go 2 gets firmware updates to improve stability and reliability

Microsoft is currently rolling out a series of firmware and driver updates to the Surface Go 2, its more affordable tablet that launched earlier this year. These updates address a series of issues, aiming to improve the overall stability and reliability of the device.

 

Specifically, the updates should improve wireless connections such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, usability with the Surface Dock 2, and power delivery through the USB Type-C port. Here's the full list of updates:

 

Windows Update History Name	Device Manager Name	Version and Update
Surface - Firmware - 1.0.1.1	Surface UEFI - Firmware	1.0.1.1 Improves system stability.
Intel - Net – 21.110.3.2	Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz – Network Adapters	21.110.3.2 Improves Wi-Fi stability and addresses issues related to the system bugcheck.
Intel Corporation –Bluetooth – 21.110.0.3	Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) – Bluetooth	21.110.0.3 Improves Bluetooth stability.
Surface - Firmware - 2.49.139.0	Surface Dock Firmware Update	2.49.139.0 Improves Surface Dock 2 reliability during Wake On LAN scenarios and improves the overall stability.
Surface - Extension - 5.5.0.0	(Firmware update extension) - no Device Manager notes	5.5.0.0 Improves Surface Dock 2 reliability during Wake On LAN scenarios and improves the overall stability.
Surface PD - Firmware - 2.6.0.0	Surface PD Controller	2.6.0.0 Updates the USB-type C power delivery profile.

 

In order to get the updates, your Surface Go 2 will have to be running the Windows 10 November 2019 Update or newer, but that should be guaranteed, since the device launched this spring. As usual, it's worth keeping in mind that these updates can roll out gradually, and not everyone will necessarily see them at the same time.

 

The updates should install automatically, but you can always check for updates in Windows Update if you've been experiencing any issues that might be fixed with these.
