Microsoft Surface Duo July 2021 monthly security is now live

The July security update is now out for the unlocked Surface Duo.

What you need to know

• Microsoft is rolling out the July OS update for Surface Duo.
• The update brings the OS security patch to July 5.
• A changelog is not yet available.

Another month and another delivered update for the Microsoft Surface Duo is available for unlocked devices. The update brings the July 5 Android Security update and presumably other fixes and optimizations to the dual-screen phone.

Microsoft has yet to update the changelog, but we'll update the article as soon as it does.

The update bumps the Surface Duo OS version number from 2021.525.6x to 2021.622.45 and seems to be small and minor.

For those looking for Android 11, unfortunately, we heard that update wouldn't be until a bit later, possibly around the October timeframe.

To grab the update yourself, use these steps:

1. Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
2. Select Settings on your Surface Duo's home screen.
3. Select System.
4. Select System Update.
5. Select Check for update.
6. Select Restart now.

The update is rolling out now for unlocked models of the Surface Duo. The update for the AT&T handset usually arrives a couple of weeks later. What are your thoughts on Surface Duo's monthly OS updates? Let us know in the comments.
