Microsoft Releases Surface 3 Firmware to Protect Against Known Security Vulnerabilities

Its been a while since Microsoft delivered updates for its non-Pro Surface 3 devices, but the company has now delivered firmware for devices running Windows 10 1703 and later. The primary reason for release is to help mitigate the  speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities revealed in January.
