Windows 10: Surface book 2 destroyed by windows 11 update

GraemeEdwards · Mar 21, 2022

My surface book 2 i7 16GB RAM 1GB HD is now dead after a failed windows 11 update. The problem I believe lies in a password protected UEFI for which I don't have the password. It was a commercial laptop which was password protected and I didn't realise till a month or so after buying it that the UEFI was protected.After trying several times before and eventually being offered the choice of rolling back windows to windows 10 when it fails, this time I think there was a firmware update that failed and there is no way to even boot the system.All I get is a black screen with the windows logo and

New Surface Book 2 Drivers and Firmware Update Nov. 18 Surface

We are pleased to announce today we now have available the initial driver and firmware pack for Surface Book 2, available for you to download at the Microsoft Download Center. This initial driver and firmware pack is available in two versions, one for Windows 10 Version 1703 (the Creators Update) and above, the other for Windows 10 Version 1709 (the Fall Creators Update) and above.

Download the driver and firmware pack MSI files from the Surface Book 2 page of the Microsoft Download Center:

SurfaceBook2_Win10_15063_1702009_2.msi

SurfaceBook2_Win10_16299_1703009_2.msi

You can identify which file to download for your device by the build number located in the file name. This build number represents the minimum build of Windows required to install the drivers and firmware within that file. For example, the file SurfaceBook2_Win10_15063_1702009_2.msi has a minimum build of 15063, in other words Windows 10 Version 1703 or the Creators Update. You can find a full list the build numbers for each Windows 10 version at the Windows 10 release information page.

Note: The minimum version of Windows supported on Surface Book 2 is Windows 10 Creators Update, Version 1703.

Note: Starting with Surface Studio, driver and firmware packs for all new Surface devices will be provided in MSI format only. Drivers and firmware will not be provided in ZIP format. You can easily extract the contents of the MSI driver and firmware pack, for example to import the drivers into your MDT deployment share or System Center Configuration Manager driver catalog, using the administrative installation option of msiexec, msiexec /a. For example, to extract the contents of SurfaceBook2_Win10_15063_1702009_2.msi to the folder D:\Surface Book 2\Windows 10 Version 1703\1702009 without bringing up the installation dialog, you would use the following command:

msiexec /a SurfaceBook2_Win10_15063_1702009_2.msi targetdir=D:\Surface Book 2\Windows 10 Version 1703\1702009 /qn

Note: When extracting driver files from the MSI, the destination folder (targetdir) must be different than the folder containing the MSI file.

These initial driver and firmware packs also include updates for the drivers and firmware provided on the first wave of devices shipped from the factory, commonly known as a Day 0 update. These updated drivers include the drivers for Intel(R) HD Graphics 620, Surface Dial Filter, Surface DTX, Surface Integration, Surface Ucsi Device, and Surface UEFI for devices with Windows 10 Version 1703 (Creators Update) and above, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, Surface ACPI Notify Driver, and Surface Integration Service Device for devices with Windows 10 Versions 1709 (Fall Creators Update) and above. These updates improve system stability and, for devices with Windows 10 Version 1709, provide support for Windows Mixed Reality experiences.
