Fixed an issue where excessive sensor polling by the fan controller would cause occasional fan behavior and increased SSD temperature on some NVMe drives.
New dock firmware that fixes HDMI 2.0 monitors not being detected when waking up or powering on the machine.
performance profile
New option to allow screen tearing: Allows for lower average latency when VSync is disabled and frame limiter is off, at the expense of sometimes displaying incomplete frames.
Changed performance HUD level 2 to use a horizontal layout. This layout is suitable for games with a 16:9 aspect ratio and black borders above and below.
storage

This includes a workaround to ensure that TRIM jobs can safely run on SD cards that claim to support discard but do not.
Steam will periodically run the TRIM command for storage devices as needed.
Added a new button in Settings → System → Advanced that performs TRIM immediately when pressed.
Added popup option for removable drives in Settings → Storage Spaces.
This unmounts the removable drive, but does not actually eject the drive.
External drives formatted as ext4 are now automatically mounted and usable in Steam.
enter

Fixed an issue where the default audio device would display “echo-cancel-sink” and the audio controls would no longer function properly.
Fixed some applications outputting audio to the wrong device.
