The update improves the device’s stability and security
In addition to that, the current release also improves the docking compatibility, battery stability, keyboard backlight, and hibernation and system stability.
As for the updated components, Microsoft installs new versions of the GeForce GTX 1050/1060 and Intel UHD Graphics 620 display adapters, Serial IO host controllers, DPTF devices, camera, and firmware as highlighted in the Release Notes below.
When it comes to installation, you can do that either automatically via Windows Update service, but this means you have to wait for your Surface to receive the current update, or manually by downloading and applying Microsoft’s release.
Specifically speaking, you must save and run the downloadable file on your Surface unit, and follow all instructions displayed on-screen for a complete and successful installation; make sure the device is connected to a power source.
Moreover, after applying the update, it would be a good idea to reboot your tablet manually (if not requested automatically), to ensure that all changes take effect correctly.
