Hi, just recently installed the Windows 10 May update on my Surface Book 2. Now the GPU disappears randomly while in use. The only solution is to reboot the Surface Book 2, or go into the device manager and initiate a scan for the GPU to come back again. It has Nvidia Gforce GTX 1050 version 23.21.13.9140
Are there any plans for Microsoft to release an updated driver to fix this bug?

2019-10-16T10:25:04+00:00 Can you roll back the Marvell WiFi adapter driver in device manager to the
previous version and see if that fixes your issue. They know the last wifi
driver they rolled out is causing issues. -

2019-10-16T02:01:56+00:00 i am now having non-stop wifi issues / network drops out. remains connected to the AP and says no internet. i can't ping local network devices or internet sites. other devices (computers / phones) are perfectly fine. only things i have changed are catching up on windows updates and installing this update firmware package... i had my updates paused for two months before this and only un-paused in attempt to get the updated firmware to fix the gpu/throttle issue.
