Microsoft Releases September Firmware Update For Surface Pro 3 Devices

Microsoft today released firmware updates for Surface Pro 3. This new update includes USB 3.0 Card Reader driver update (v10.0.10240.31217) which improves the system power usage when an SD card is inserted.

When Surface updates are provided via the Windows Update service, they are delivered in stages to Surface customers. As a result, not every Surface will receive the update at the same time, but the update will be delivered to all devices. If you have not received the update, please manually check Windows Update later.

Barely tipping the scales at 1.76 pounds, the 12-inch Surface Pro 3 has all the power and performance of a premium laptop in a thin and lightweight design.
