Yesterday's update has stopped my screens from working with my Surface Dock 2? Is anyone else having this issue?
If my two screens are plugged into my surface Dock 2, neither of them work, if I remove either one of the leads from the screens the other one starts to work? I have confirmed that both screens work when the other is not connected. What should I do?
