Users can’t update the Surface Dock
However, not everyone is pleased with the Microsoft Surface Dock, since many users are reporting that they are having issues upgrading its firmware when using it with a Surface Pro X: In short, if we are to judge from initial descriptions, users cannot update the firmware at all. One user came up with a workaround:
The Surface Pro X’s architecture is to blame
While a support page for performing a Microsoft Surface Dock firmware upgrade does exist, it seems to be of little use since most users all seem to end up with the same error anyway: Apparently, the culprit behind this is the Surface Pro X’s ARM64 architecture. Further research into the matter revealed that it is unsupported by the Microsoft Surface Dock. The only solid solution so far would be to use an x86-64 Surface device. These include the Surface Pro 7 and Surface Laptop 3 as far as Microsoft’s release notes are concerned. Most likely, Microsoft will release an ARM64 package for the Surface Dock update sooner rather than later. What’s your take on the latest Microsoft Surface Dock issue?
