Version 2611.01 (Beta)
Long time no see! Sorry for the lack of updates this year, hopefully this makes up for it :)
Note
2026/11/02, 9:30 PM UTC+1
Updated UEFI images with a fix have been deployed on this very page. below's issue shouldn't exist anymore.
2026/11/02, 9:30 AM UTC+1
We are aware of issues regarding WiFi and Cellular on Surface Duo 1 devices with this release. You can get it to work again by downgrading only the UEFI on duo 1 to the previous released version, if you use woa device manager instead of left clicking right click the switch to windows button and it will let you pick an individual uefi.img file, get the one from the previous release on github instead, and it should work.
2026/11/02, 9:30 AM UTC+1
We are aware the TPM Simulator driver is missing after updating to this release. This is intentional for now to workaround a bug with current Windows versions.
Surface Duo BSP - Version 2611.01 (Beta)
Note: This is a beta version, the final November release will be near the end of this month. Issues will exist.
The boring stuff
-
⚙️ Rearchitectured the UEFI configuration system to be more modular, in short, things are miles better, for me, and for all of you, but nothing end user visible off the get go. The UEFI is now more flexible post compilation, features a built in configuration file that is editable post build, and even configures memory maps dynamically this way
- On Duo 2, the memory map portion isnt currently wired up due to ongoing issues yet to be resolved with the map itself
- Secure Boot disabled variants of the UEFI may temporarily not function properly
-
🖥️ Both devices now have functional secondary displays right in UEFI mode
- On Duo 1, this may result in mirrored displays, a fix is pending for next release so they are independent (as they should be).
-
🔁 We now support the latest RS_PRERELEASE builds flighted in the Windows Insider Program, future platforms, development channel.
-
🖼️ Updated the wallpapers to the last artwork available from surface when running on builds >= 28000
-
🚀 We updated the MU UEFI Firmware release from 250X to 2608.
What you came here for
Surface Duo 2 supported hardware list changes, for once!
-
📱📱 Secondary display now works under Windows
- Performance will not be increased because graphics acceleration is not yet working, we're, to put it simply, working on it, Soon ™️Expect it to be a bit slow compared to expectations as a result
- You cannot adjust brightness, for the same reasons
- You also cannot switch to 90hz
- You can't use always on display mode (yes, we are planning to bring back the glance bar one day)
- Reported display physical dimensions aren't correct, this results in Windows sizing the touch keyboard a bit too small, we'll fix this soon
-
🫰 All digitizers work as expected now thanks to the secondary display!
- Including pen on both displays!
-
🚄 PCIe is fully brought up by the UEFI firmware
-
🛜 WiFi works under Windows!
- Dual Bands/5GHz, 6Ghz, Wifi 7, the whole deal!
-
📶 Cellular is also 98% here, you'll see it appear and even detect a sim card in windows, it just will report no service for now, we're also working on it!
-
🗺️ GPS Works!
-
🔵 Bluetooth works!
- This includes Surface pen auto pairing when you approach one to the digitizer
-
🌡️ Improved power and thermal management
- When the device is too hot, an interrupt storm may currently occur that will make the device appear hung, simply hard reboot, wait a few minutes in android, and boot back to windows if this occurs. Sorry!
We still have the same issues present as last time, some of those even used to work a decade ago but dont anymore... still working on it, notably:
- Sensors still are broken (they used to work heh)
- Touch calibration will be a bit off
- CPU core speeds arent to their maximum
- MAC Address for the WLAN card is not the correct one at the moment
- and more I forgot to list
We aim for a newer version which addresses much more, at the end of this month.
You can get a FFU file containing all changes drivers and Windows for Surface Duo 2 here (see the usual flashing instructions at https://github.com/WOA-Project/SurfaceDuo-Guides/blob/main/Install/Client/FlashingFFU.md)
Last but not least: we made uninstalling much more simple and quick, check it out if you're interested in the guides at https://github.com/WOA-Project/SurfaceDuo-Guides
Happy November!!!
It's good to finally be back :)

We would like to thank the Project Aloha team members and its community for the help provided and the work done during my absence this year, without you, this wouldnt be here today either <3
Keep unfolding.
Version 2601.12 - Tie 👔
Release Notes To Be Done.
TL;DR: Bug fixes for downlevel Windows 10 versions. Enhancements to the stability of the UEFI for display initialization, fixes an issue with IOMMU domain Context Bank allocations.
In the next update that will come after this one we will update every driver for Surface Duo 1 to the latest versions (2160).
We will also bring enhancements to Surface Duo 2. Stay tuned.
Said release may also take more time than usual to come out because a focus on automation will be done first to lift up some of the pain and burden about making releases and more specifically FFU images.
