I think your confusions comes from the device manager firmware. You said it does not recognize the correct BIOS in the device manager.   The System firmware listed in the device manager is the system firmware. The BIOS is device firmware and would not be listed in device manager. The term "firmware" is confusedly often just called "firmware". It's further confused because a modern PC normally boots up in UEFI mode rather than BIOS mode. When you flash your BIOS, you are updating the device firmware. That does not mean it also updates the system firmware. Here's a Microsoft Document that explains the difference between system firmware and device firmware updates on an UEFI system in more technical terms: Microsoft documentation    One important thing to remember with the system firmware listed in device manager is that it is either a vendor specific version, or if not available a Microsoft supplied system firmware that is supplied with the Operating System. I am pretty sure Alienware supplies the system firmware listed in device manager. You can check in the properties box in the driver tab who supplied it. Since I am using a retail board, my system firmware is supplied by Microsoft, while the device (motherboard BIOS) firmware is supplied by Asus.   
Since the update to 1.0.14, I have had to manually install the BIOS but my computer device manager still sees it as version 14. [IMAGE] I just installed 1.0.19 through the exe actually worked. Still does not recognize the correct BIOS in the Device Manager. I have ready many threads but not found a viable solution. Anyone else experiencing this too?
