Surface Studio

Yesterday we reported about the Surface Studio firmware that Microsoft rolled to Surface Studio owners via Windows Update, but it lacked the changelog and left the consumers in dark as to what it shipped with. Now, Microsoft is generous enough to publish an official changelog for the said update (117.1394.768.0).

Below is the list of changes that the company has incorporated as part of the update.
