+
+## HoloLens (1st gen)
+
+### Windows 10 Holographic, version 1809
+
+> **Applies to:** Hololens (1st gen)
+
+| Feature | Details |
+|---|---|
+| **Quick actions menu** | When you're in an app, the Bloom gesture will now open a Quick actions menu to give you quick access to commonly used system features without having to leave the app. <br> See [Set up HoloLens in kiosk mode](hololens-kiosk.md) for information about the Quick actions menu in kiosk mode.<br><br>![sample of the Quick actions menu](images/minimenu.png) |
+| **Stop video capture from the Start or quick actions menu** | If you start video capture from the Start menu or quick actions menu, you’ll be able to stop recording from the same place. (Don’t forget, you can always do this with voice commands too.) |
+| **Project to a Miracast-enabled device** | Project your HoloLens content to a nearby Surface device or TV/Monitor if using Microsoft Display adapter.  On **Start**, select **Connect**, and then select the device you want to project to. **Note:** You can deploy HoloLens to use Miracast projection without enabling developer mode. |

+### Windows 10, version 1803 for Microsoft HoloLens
+
+> **Applies to:** Hololens (1st gen)
+
+Windows 10, version 1803, is the first feature update to Windows Holographic for Business since its release in Windows 10, version 1607. This update introduces the following changes:
+
+- Previously, you could only verify that upgrade license for Commercial Suite had been applied to your HoloLens device by checking to see if VPN was an available option on the device. Now, **Settings** > **System** will display **Windows Holographic for Business** after the upgrade license is applied. [Learn how to unlock Windows Holographic for Business features](hololens1-upgrade-enterprise.md).
+
+- You can view the operating system build number in device properties in the File Explorer app and in the [Windows Device Recovery Tool (WDRT)](https://support.microsoft.com/help/12379/windows-10-mobile-device-recovery-tool-faq).
+- Provisioning a HoloLens device is now easier with the new **Provision HoloLens devices** wizard in the Windows Configuration Designer tool. In the wizard, you can configure the setup experience and network connections, set developer mode, and obtain bulk Azure AD tokens. [Learn how to use the simple provisioning wizard for HoloLens](hololens-provisioning.md#wizard).
+
+    ![Provisioning HoloLens devices](images/provision-hololens-devices.png)
+
+- When you create a local account in a provisioning package, the password no longer expires every 42 days.
+
+- You can [configure HoloLens as a single-app or multi-app kiosk](hololens-kiosk.md). Multi-app kiosk mode lets you set up a HoloLens to only run the apps that you specify, and prevents users from making changes.
+
+- Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is enabled so that you can connect the HoloLens device to a PC by USB and transfer files between HoloLens and the PC. You can also use the File Explorer app to move and delete files from within HoloLens.
+
+- Previously, after you signed in to the device with an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account, you then had to **Add work access** in **Settings** to get access to corporate resources. Now, you sign in with an Azure AD account and enrollment happens automatically.
+
+- Before you sign in, you can choose the network icon below the password field to choose a different Wi-Fi network to connect to. You can also connect to a guest network, such as at a hotel, conference center, or business. 
+
+- You can now easily [share HoloLens with multiple people](hololens-multiple-users.md) using Azure AD accounts.
+
+- When setup or  sign-in fails, choose the new **Collect info** option to get diagnostic logs for troubleshooting.
+
+- Individual users can sync their corporate email without enrolling their device in mobile device management (MDM). You can use the device with a Microsoft Account, download and install the Mail app, and add an email account directly.
+
+- You can check the MDM sync status for a device in **Settings** > **Accounts** > **Access Work or School** > **Info**. In the **Device sync status** section, you can start a sync, see areas managed by MDM, and create and export an advanced diagnostics report.

 ## Updating Surface device drivers and firmware
 
 For devices that receive updates through Windows Update, drivers for Surface components – and even firmware updates – are applied automatically as part of the Windows Update process. For devices with managed updates, such as those updated through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), the option to install drivers and firmware through Windows Update is not available. For these managed devices, the recommended driver management process is the deployment of driver and firmware updates using the Windows Installer (.msi) files, which are provided through the Microsoft Download Center. You can find a list of these downloads at [Download the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices).
 
-As .msi files, deployment of driver and firmware updates is performed in the same manner as deployment of an application. Instead of installing an application as would normally happen when an .msi file is run, the Surface driver and firmware .msi will apply the driver and firmware updates to the device. The single .msi file contains the driver and firmware updates required by each component of the Surface device. The updates for firmware are applied the next time the device reboots. You can read more about the .msi installation method for Surface drivers and firmware in [Manage Surface driver and firmware updates](https://technet.microsoft.com/itpro/surface/manage-surface-pro-3-firmware-updates). For more information about how to deploy applications with Configuration Manager, see [Packages and programs in System Center Configuration Manager](https://docs.microsoft.com/sccm/apps/deploy-use/packages-and-programs).

 To ensure that Surface devices using the same Ethernet adapter are identified as unique devices during deployment, you can instruct Configuration Manager to identify devices using another method. This other method could be the MAC address of the wireless network adapter or the System Universal Unique Identifier (System UUID). You can specify that Configuration Manager use other identification methods with the following options:
 
-* Add an exclusion for the MAC addresses of Surface Ethernet adapters, which forces Configuration Manager to overlook the MAC address in preference of the System UUID, as documented in the [Reusing the same NIC for multiple PXE initiated deployments in System Center Configuration Manager OSD](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/system_center_configuration_manager_operating_system_deployment_support_blog/2015/08/27/reusing-the-same-nic-for-multiple-pxe-initiated-deployments-in-system-center-configuration-manger-osd/) blog post.

 Another consideration for the Surface Ethernet adapter during deployments with Configuration Manager is the driver for the Ethernet controller. Beginning in Windows 10, version 1511, the driver for the Surface Ethernet adapter is included by default in Windows. For organizations that want to deploy the latest version of Windows 10 and use the latest version of WinPE, use of the Surface Ethernet adapter requires no additional actions.
 
-For versions of Windows prior to Windows 10, version 1511 (including Windows 10 RTM and Windows 8.1), you may still need to install the Surface Ethernet adapter driver and include the driver in your WinPE boot media.

-With the release of Microsoft Store for Business, Surface app is no longer available as a driver and firmware download. Organizations that want to deploy Surface app to managed Surface devices or during deployment with the use of Configuration Manager, must acquire Surface app through Microsoft Store for Business and then deploy Surface app with PowerShell.

 ## Use prestaged media with Surface clients
 
 If your organization uses prestaged media to pre-load deployment resources on to machines prior to deployment with Configuration Manager, the nature of Surface devices as UEFI devices may require you to take additional steps. Specifically, a native UEFI environment requires that you create multiple partitions on the boot disk of the system. If you are following along with the [documentation for prestaged media](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/79465d90-4831-4872-96c2-2062d80f5583?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#BKMK_CreatePrestagedMedia), the instructions provide for only single partition boot disks and therefore will fail when applied to Surface devices.
 
-Instructions for applying prestaged media to UEFI devices, such as Surface devices, can be found in the [How to apply Task Sequence Prestaged Media on multi-partitioned disks for BIOS or UEFI PCs in System Center Configuration Manager](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/system_center_configuration_manager_operating_system_deployment_support_blog/2014/04/02/how-to-apply-task-sequence-prestaged-media-on-multi-partitioned-disks-for-bios-or-uefi-pcs-in-system-center-configuration-manager/) blog post.

 Surface driver and firmware updates are packaged as Windows Installer (MSI) files. To deploy these Windows Installer packages, you can use application deployment utilities such as the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) or System Center Configuration Manager. Such solutions provide the means for administrators to test and review updates before deploying them, and to centralize deployment. For each device, it is important to select the correct MSI file for the device and its operating system. For more information see [Deploy the latest firmware and drivers for Surface devices](deploy-the-latest-firmware-and-drivers-for-surface-devices.md).

-# Use System Center Configuration Manager to manage devices with SEMM
+# Use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to manage devices with SEMM
 
 The Surface Enterprise Management Mode (SEMM) feature of Surface UEFI devices allows administrators to both manage and secure the configuration of Surface UEFI settings. For most organizations, this process is accomplished by creating Windows Installer (.msi) packages with the Microsoft Surface UEFI Configurator tool. These packages are then run or deployed to the client Surface devices to enroll the devices in SEMM and to update the Surface UEFI settings configuration.
 
-For organizations with System Center Configuration Manager, there is an alternative to using the Microsoft Surface UEFI Configurator .msi process to deploy and administer SEMM. Microsoft Surface UEFI Manager is a lightweight installer that makes required assemblies for SEMM management available on a device. By installing these assemblies with Microsoft Surface UEFI Manager on a managed client, SEMM can be administered by Configuration Manager with PowerShell scripts, deployed as applications. With this process, SEMM management is performed within Configuration Manager, which eliminates the need for the external Microsoft Surface UEFI Configurator tool.

 ## How it works
 
 When you submit a remediation request from Threat & Vulnerability Management, it kicks-off a remediation activity. 
 
 It creates a security task which will be tracked in Threat & Vulnerability Management **Remediation** page, and it also creates a remediation ticket in Microsoft Intune.
