SOLVED!! 01-03-2023   UPDATE/EDIT to Original Post:  Today on Windows Update (Win11), they just rolled out the v1.0.26 BIOS as an additional update.  Chose to Install via Windows Update and v1.0.26 was installed, with no problem. NOTE: Your computer will reboot/power cycle around 8x, so please be aware of that.
Hello all! I have an Alienware Aurora R8 and am trying to update the BIOS from v1.0.25 (Currently on System) to v1.0.26 running Windows 11. BIOS executable file will not update at ALL. I tried via SupportAssist, Alienware Update, downloading file and running as Admin, tried booting from USB, nothing. Windows just says "Driver Version Fail." after trying to run the .EXE file. This seems to be a critical update according to SupportAssist. Please advise on what to do. Does anyone encounter the same error when updating from 1.0.25 to 1.0.26? This update (the .EXE file) will not work at all. Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions!
