Hp 2013 Ultraslim Docking Station Firmware Update

Important

We just deployed about 60 HP laptops (all current firmware and windows updates), we are using the HP 2013 UltraSlim Docking Stations for all these laptops. There are a bunch of minor issues sometimes requring people to shut down their laptop 100% before putting it in the dock or getting black screen random while in the dock. My HP Elitebook 840 g3 is no longer being charged while on the docking station. I plugged the power cord directly to the laptop and it charges my laptops battery. I updated the bios and that did not fix the issue. My wife has the exact same laptop and the docking station in question does charge her laptop.

This article contains technical instructions for IT administrators. If you are a home user, please see How to update your Surface Dock Firmware on the Microsoft Support site. The instructions at the support site are the same as the general installation steps below, but this article has additional information for monitoring, verifying, and deploying the update to multiple devices on a network.

This article explains how to use Microsoft Surface Dock Firmware Update to update firmware on the original Surface Dock 1 and does not apply to Surface Dock 2. When installed on your Surface device, it will update any Surface Dock attached to your Surface device.

This tool supersedes the earlier Microsoft Surface Dock Updater tool, previously available for download as part of Surface Tools for IT. The earlier tool was named Surface_Dock_Updater_vx.xx.xxx.x.msi (where x indicates the version number) and is no longer available for download and should not be used.

Install the Surface Dock Firmware Update

This section describes how to manually install the firmware update.

Note

Microsoft periodically releases new versions of Surface Dock Firmware Update. The MSI file is not self-updating. If you have deployed the MSI to Surface devices and a new version of the firmware is released, you will need to deploy the new version.

Download and install Microsoft Surface Dock Firmware Update.
- The update requires a Surface device running Windows 10, version 1803 or later.
- Installing the MSI file might prompt you to restart Surface. However, restarting is not required to perform the update.
Disconnect your Surface device from the Surface Dock, wait ~5 seconds, and then reconnect. The Surface Dock Firmware Update will update the dock silently in background. The process can take a few minutes to complete and will continue even if interrupted.

Monitor the Surface Dock Firmware Update

This section is optional and provides an overview of how to monitor installation of the firmware update.

To monitor the update:

Hp 2013 Ultra Slim Docking Station Driver

Open Event Viewer, browse to Windows Logs > Application, and then under Actions in the right-hand pane click Filter Current Log, enter SurfaceDockFwUpdate next to Event sources, and then click OK.
Type the following command at an elevated command prompt:
Install the update as described in the next section of this article.
Event 2007 with the following text indicates a successful update: Firmware update finished. hr=0 DriverTelementry EventCode = 2007.
- If the update is not successful, then event ID 2007 will be displayed as an Error event rather than Information. Additionally, the version reported in the Windows Registry will not be current.
When the update is complete, updated DWORD values will be displayed in the Windows Registry, corresponding to the current version of the tool. See the Versions reference section in this article for details. For example:
- Component10CurrentFwVersion 0x04ac3970 (78395760)
- Component20CurrentFwVersion 0x04915a70 (76634736)

Tip

If you see 'The description for Event ID xxxx from source SurfaceDockFwUpdate cannot be found' in event text, this is expected and can be ignored.

Network deployment

Ultra Slim Docking Station Firmware Update

You can use Windows Installer commands (Msiexec.exe) to deploy Surface Dock Firmware Update to multiple devices across your network. When using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager or other deployment tool, enter the following syntax to ensure the installation is silent:

Msiexec.exe /i <path to msi file> /quiet /norestart
For example:
Note
A log file is not created by default. In order to create a log file, you will need to append '/lv [path]'. For example: Msiexec.exe /i <path to msi file> /lv %windir%logs SurfaceDockFWI.log'
For more information, refer to Command line options documentation.

Important

If you want to keep your Surface Dock updated using any other method, refer to Update your Surface Dock for details.

Intune deployment

You can use Intune to distribute Surface Dock Firmware Update to your devices. First you will need to convert the MSI file to the .intunewin format, as described in the following documentation: Intune Standalone - Win32 app management.

Use the following command:

msiexec /i <path to msi file> /quiet /q

How to verify completion of the firmware update

Surface dock firmware consists of two components:

Component10: Micro controller unit (MCU) firmware
Component20: Display port (DP) firmware.

Successful completion of Surface Dock Firmware Update results in new registry key values for these firmware components.

To verify updates:

Open Regedit and navigate to the following registry path:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWUDFServicesSurfaceDockFwUpdateParameters
Look for the registry keys: Component10CurrentFwVersion and Component20CurrentFwVersion, which refer to the firmware that is currently on the device.
Verify the new registry key values match the updated registry key values listed in the Versions reference at the end of this document. If the values match, the firmware was updated successfully.
If unable to verify, review Event logging and Troubleshooting tips in the next section.
