Please stop using SupportAssist/Dell Update to install BIOS updates before you brick your motherboards. If you have Win 11 22H2 with Cumulative Update KB5019980 installed, that blocks BIOS updating. The new BIOS v1.1.29 is supposed to fix that but -obviously- you may not be able to install it inside Win 11 when KB5019980 has been installed. For both Win 10 and Win 11, follow the Installation Instructions for Updating the BIOS from BIOS Boot Menu (independent of operating system) here. Manually download the BIOS .exe file and save it on an empty (non-bootable) 2-GB USB stick that's formatted FAT32. Then shut down normally in Windows (not a Restart inside Windows). With that USB stick plugged in, power PC on and tap F12 to open the Boot Menu. Select the Flash Update option and run the BIOS update that way. PC will shut off and restart several times. Even if it looks like it's completely off and not doing anything, just leave it alone until it's safely back at the desktop. Once the new update is installed, it's recommended you open BIOS setup (F2 at boot) and disable UEFI Capsule Updates to prevent Windows Update from trying to install BIOS updates without warning or permission. Also good to Enable these other BIOS settings: BIOS Auto-RecoveryAlways Perform Integrity Check NOTE: UEFI Capsule Updates, BIOS Auto-Recovery, and Integrity Check settings have to be checked/changed after every BIOS update, because every update resets them to their default settings...
When I try to update my Dell XPS 8930 Bios from 1.1.26 to 1.1.29, the install fails. If I open the BIOS and disable Virtualization, reboot and retry, the application crashes, and does not even come up. Here is a screenshot of the event log. [URL] Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?
