SurfaceOemPanel cannot be found Error in Event Log

Hi, 

I have a Surface Pro X, and I was checking the event log, and I can see many errors from SurfaceOemPanel, but they all state that "The description for Event ID 512 from source SurfaceOemPanel cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer."

Same for Event ID 514.

Not sure what this error is, and what is the issue, but I have been facing problems with Skye For Business, and I think these events are related.

Thanks

    I have follow the dock firmware update procedures and configured that the "auto" firmware update is enabled and that the dock is on the current version. Can you advise what you found?

    Thanks

    Thanks for the response, however, I am not sure I follow. I do connect the device to two different notes, same firmware, as I move between offices.  In both locations there are two external monitors, however, they are not identical. Is this consistent with the point you are making?

    I am having the same issue with my surface pro attached to two external monitors.  One blacks out and occasionally comes back, the other drops to super low resolution.  Tried windows update and driver updates, but no improvement.
