If you're not aware by now, you should be checking for updates on pretty much any device that you're using. A security vulnerability was found in Intel chipsets, and it was later discovered that it also affects AMD and ARM chips, and on the software side, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Microsoft has since released patches for all supported versions of Windows, and Intel has released firmware updates. But, of course, it's up to hardware manufacturers to release firmware updates through their own channels, so Microsoft has detailed the updates it's releasing for Surface devices.
The following devices will receive UEFI updates:
  • Surface Pro 3
  • Surface Pro 4
  • Surface Book
  • Surface Studio
  • Surface Pro Model 1796
  • Surface Laptop
  • Surface Pro with LTE Advanced
  • Surface Book 2
