's is synonymous with the Creators Update as the two were launched together. The hardware and software double act are Microsoft complete vision. Now that the Creators Update is running Surface Studio, Microsoft has issued a new update for the PC all-in-one.

The company has updated the driver Realtek High Definition Audio (SST) enables Wake on Voice from Modern Standby.

Of course, users need to be running the Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703) or newer on your Surface Studio. It is worth noting that not all devices are currently running the feature update. Microsoft is rolling it out in stages, so you may have to wait for this driver release.

The Surface Studio has been a success for Microsoft. As a high-end machine, it was never expected to sell in huge quantities. Nevertheless, it has been selling in good numbers and has been sold out consistently. Consumers still have to wait for shipping when buying the PC.

However, last week Microsoft announced that it can now ship the entry level Studio immediately from the US store. This is the unit that comes with a 6th Gen Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M 2GB GPU GDDR5 graphics, 28-inch adjustable PixelSense display, Surface Pen, keyboard, and mouse.
