Microsoft's Surface Studio 2 has a new firmware update available. As is normally the case, the update doesn't have any new features. It does, however, address security updates and improve system stability.
The Surface Studio 2 is probably due for a refresh at this point, but it's still one of the best All-in-One PCs, especially for creators. It's a unique PC that packs a fully articulating display into an incredibly sleek package. The entire display supports touch and pen as well, so it also functions as a canvas for digital artwork.
While the list of changes is short, it's important to keep your devices up to date. You can see the full changelog below or on the Surface Studio 2 update history page:
