Surface Hub 2 - Your device needs an update. Restarting to finish it up...
Has anyone seen this issue when a user clicks end session, it then prepares for the next session then a screen comes up "Your device needs an update. Restarting to finish it up..." then it reboots. It does this every single time someone clicks end session. There are no updates to be done so not sure what's going on.

- Running into this issue on a Surface Hub 2s purchased within the last month. Comes with an outdated OS, and after doing all the setup steps and installing updates has been in a reboot loop for 2 days. Did a recovery overnight, and again today after logging in and setting up Administrators account, reboot loop.
There really needs to be something to address this other than BMR or Intune (customer doesn't have MDM). This has taken an enormous amount of time to configure, and has been quite frustrating to read about these issues from last year that are still present on a brand new device.ADoran That's incredibly frustrating to hear that even with the latest OS this has not been resolved. With how much money these devices are, you'd think a stable operating system would be available. We just sent ours back to Microsoft because the whole screen basically had ghosting like an old CRT monitor. So our team will have to do a new setup on the replacement device when it comes in. I'll report back and see if we experience the same.
- Sorry if I was unclear. The Surface Hub 2s ships with an outdated OS v1703. After all the updates (takes hours) and being prompted to restart, reboot loop.
I am currently in the process of creating a BMR recovery on USB stick to hopefully go straight to 20H2 and avoid the time sink of doing updates and get past this ridiculous Teams Mode 1/Mode 2 issues entirely.
But I agree about the cost. There needs to be better support or progress with fixes for a device at this price. These devices are for business and schools where I am, and both are quite demanding for needing things to work, and work well.
- Any fix for this?
- Wow this is still an issue? We’ve not been in our office for awhile due to Covid. I’ll see if I can get my team to check for updates and see if it’s still an issue. This is unacceptable for how much people have paid for this device.

Hello,
This is fixed with 20H2 update. You don't need to configure Teams with a provisioning package anymore, which also resolves this issue. You can just select the primary calling app from settings.
Best regards,

dorce370 while I'm not happy it's happening to you, I'm at least glad I'm not the only one. Our device is only 6 months old and it's been doing it since day one. We are setup with Teams Mode 1 as we tried Teams Mode 2 when we first got the device but that put it in an endless loop. So Teams Mode 1 stays and works. I'm hoping more people have this issue and while it's not preventing the use of the device, it's annoying and really shouldn't be happening. An update is needed.
