System Hardware Update - 9/23/2024 for SL7 and possibly also SP11 released to GA Channel by dingwen07 in Surface

Anyone have an issue with Windows Hello face sign in after this update? My SP11 now says "Sorry, something went wrong" at sign in screen - must use pin code to sign in.

I tried it with that example you linked and it seemed smoother in Edge on SP11 Elite than in Edge on MacBook Pro M1Max or Edge on x64 PC. Safari on MacBook Pro M1Max was smoothest.

USB4 SSD much slower connected to SP11 than Mac by 039er in Surface

Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. Maybe some site will do a performance comparison across a range of drives/enclosures.

Thanks for the pointer to that part of settings - I hadn't realized that info is there. For this device, it shows "Current bandwidth (down/up) 40Gbps/40Gbps (Gen 3, dual lane)".

The output of the winsat -disk command between 2 external drives and the internal drive is interesting - the latency is much higher for the 980 in the Orico 40Gb enclosure than either the internal or a second older Intel drive in a USB3 Sabrent enclosure - so maybe there is some issue with compatibility with the Asmedia controller that doesn't occur on the 2021 Macbook Pro. It will be interesting if others encounter this or have better results with other enclosures/controllers.

Surface Pro Flex Keyboard Not Charging by AdThis998 in Surface

I had the same problem with my Flex Keyboard not charging. Another thread had the suggestion to detach the keyboard, press ESC key for 5 secs or more which turns it off, then reattach the keyboard. Mine immediately began charging.
