Surface Studio gets a huge list of firmware and driver updates

Over the last couple of months, Microsoft has been pushing firmware and driver updates for most of its recent Surface devices. And these aren't small changelogs. Nearly every driver on the PCs are being updated. The Surface Laptop and Pro 4 were the first in late July, followed by the Surface Pro, and then Surface Book 2 earlier this month. The original Surface book was the latest to get such a big batch of updates.

And now, it's the Surface Studio's turn. Here's the full changelog:
