Update Microsoft Surface driver catalog

[seany-web]

Hello :)

It looks like Microsoft released new surface drivers on September 15th.
Can you please refresh the Catalog again?

[OSDeploy]

Will do, traveling today but I'll have it updated in the next 24h

[Abe-Telo]

I vote for this as well, My issues i would like to resolve are touch screen, Keyboard, WIFI Drivers in WinRE, WinPE.
Currently, it seems as if i have these 3 issues with different types of models in surfaces. I keep needing to plug in my USB Keyboard and mouse for most of the surfaces.

I will update this list of drivers missing in Surface WinPE/RE

Surface Pro 1, WIfi ✔️ | Touch ✔️| Keybord ❔ (bulky)
Surface Pro 2, WIfi ✔️ | Touch ✔️| Keybord ❔ (bulky)
Surface Pro 3, WIfi ✔️ | Touch ✔️| Keybord ✔️
Surface pro 4, Wifi ❌ | Touch ❔ | KeyBoard ✔️
Surface pro 5, Wifi ❌ | Touch ❌| KeyBoard ✔️(5th Gen)
Surface pro 7, Wifi ✔️ | Touch ❌| KeyBoard ✔️

Surface 3 WIFI, WIfi ❌ | Touch ❌| Keybord ❔
Surface 3 NAG, WIfi ✔️ | Touch ❌| Keybord ✔️ (LTE North Ameirca)

Surface Laptop 4, Wifi ✔️ | Touch ❌ | KeyBoard ✔️

In my free time, until a fix is implemented, I created this if anyone wants to use it. While its better to have this in WinPE itself.

Can you be specific in describing the exact issue you are having?

"touch screen, Keyboard, WIFI Drivers in WinRE, WinPE"
Is this when using the OSDCloud Boot Image?
Did you add the Drivers? If yes, detail how you did this.
What version of WinPE and WinRE are you using?

[Abe-Telo]

i believe i used something like this. I might be missing a command or 2
Install-Module osd -force
Import-Module osd -Force
New-OSDCloudTemplate -Name WinRE -WinRE
Set-OSDCloudTemplate -Name 'WinRE'
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -CloudDriver Surface, IntelNet, WiFi, Nutanix
New-OSDMediaISO
New-OSDCloudUSB
Update-OSDCloudUSB -DriverPack WIFI, MICROSOFT, IntelNet

Wifi Works great on laptop 4, Just tested it.
Pro 3 i get an error: There is no wireless interface on this system.

I was able to able to get keyboard/touchpad/touchscreen working in WinPE by using these steps (excluding the steps specific to MDT):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/enable-surface-keyboard-for-windows-pe-deployment#add-keyboard-drivers-to-the-selection-profile

For example, for the Surface Laptop Studio I downloaded the driver pack, extracted the contents, copied the 18 drivers listed in the article for that model, then used the Edit-OSDCloudWinPE command with DriverPath pointed to the 18 drivers. Once I confirmed they were working, I added the drivers for Surface Laptop 4 and 5.

I skipped adding the wifi drivers as we're using OSDCloud offline.

Are all the drivers in the microsoft list needed to get it working? For instane, Pro 7, Only the Touch does not work in winPE., So maybe just add the Touch drivers? Also i see the Wifi folder to be 85MB, Is it the right aproch to add wifi drivers this way? And what does each folder do? Why do i need Battery Folder ETC, What are the 3 filterd folders i should use without over adding drivers?

[MMendez091]

I'm not sure if they're all needed or what they all do, but I would recommend starting with a clean boot image and having these drivers in a separate folder on your USB drive. Then add each driver one at a time with a pnputil command (something like "pnputil /add-driver /install". After each one check to see what started working. Once you have a short list of the drivers you want to add, add them to the boot image using the Edit-OSDCloudWinPE command. I can't comment any further on the wifi drivers, but that folder looks like a good starting point.

It looks like Microsoft updated the drivers for some Surfaces again. Would it be possible to update the catalog?

For example: Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 13 Intel Win11 21H2
Current catalog URL returns 404 error: https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/f/4/3f4f5dff-b6a9-4006-87aa-142a8e6f77cb/SurfaceLaptop3_Intel_Win11_22000_23.101.7094.0.msi
New drivers published on October 24th: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100429

Thank you for this info. Please have a look,

@OSDeploy Can we add this to WINPE DRIVERS?

[Abe-Telo]

The link to the Microsoft catalog Download file is corrupted as of 10/30/2023

As of 10/31/2023 We get a 404 error on this link.

Microsoft realest a new update to the drivers, And it should be updated to this.

I will be updating issues related to Surface here. https://github.com/Abe-Telo/ODSCloud-Missing-Microsoft-Drivers/issues

[401cf609a3a217ec]

The Microsoft driver catalog is out of date for many Surface models. There is an open PR #86 for the Surface Laptop 5, but would it be possible to get the others updated as well?

• Surface Book 3
• Surface Laptop 3
• Surface Laptop 5
• Surface Laptop Go
• Surface Laptop Go 2
• Surface Laptop Studio
• Surface Pro
• Surface Pro 7+
• Surface Pro 8
• Surface Pro 9
• Surface Studio 2
• Surface Studio 2+

[OSDeploy]

I'll update the catalogs tonight.

[JornMich]

Many models have new driver packs again, released on 15-12. Could the driver json get updated again? Thanks!

[OSDeploy]

The driver packs have been updated in the GitHub repo, but there is an error in one of the PowerShell scripts in the Module that Gary and I are trying to resolve. I can't push this to PowerShell Gallery until this is complete. I hope to have this resolved after hours today, as I'm currently on the clock for my paid job.

[Abe-Telo]

The following are out of date as of today 1-2-2024

This happens very frequently.
Does Microsoft provide a list of when drivers get updated?
Maybe we can create a script that will update github automatically. Just thinking of ways that we can all avoid time consuming research. Another idea is to store these drivers in the cloud.
I will try to look for an idea on this.

in the meantime here is a list of outdated drivers.

Edit: I see there is a reply about a push, That OSDeploy has mention a issue with one of the module. Leaving this as reference. Hoping issue will be resolved soon.

[OSDeploy]

I'll work on an update today. I hope everyone understands that OSD is a personal project and not supported by my day job. I did little work on this during December as I was spending the holidays with family. Apologies for the delays.

[NorbertBauer]

Thanks for the update, but Microsoft updated the Drivers for Surface Pro 9 on 10 January again.

I wrote a little function to update the Surface driver catalog "Just-In-Time"
https://everydayintech.com/update-surface-driver-catalog-just-in-time/

[OSDeploy]

Thanks @everydayintech

FYI, there is a function (with param) that will update the JSON in the module ... this is how I Build and Update the JSON. The downside is that it takes time (1-2 minutes) to complete, and it requires Admin rights to overwrite the JSON in the Module. I'll work in making this more seamless.

[gwblok]

Take a look at: https://everydayintech.com/update-surface-driver-catalog-just-in-time/
Users can probably build this into their processes too.

[Abe-Telo]

Since there are always new versions and the old once stay on the USB, it can use a lot of space, I added a script that will compare the Version numbers based on the file name, then after you will have the option of delating the old Drivers not needed anymore. Please look into this and consider adding it into OSDCLOUD, at least as option.

For those who would like to test and see if this works for you please download the script here.

I ran your script, but its giving me the error of no internet explorer, when i am in windows, it just does not run at all., I use a custom C:\OSDCloud\Media\OSDCloud\Automate\Start-OSDCloudGUI.json what do i do to get it updated?

WHen i use Update-MicrosoftDriverPackCatalog, i can see things happening, But what file is it updating? it does not show the path of the file.
