Windows 10: BIOS UPDATE

Can you explain to me why Windows is still forcing a BIOS update? Just got my computer back up after a good 2 hours of booting blue screen booting blue screen . Why? Because on the last update Windows decided to update my BIOS without any input from me the owner of the PC.

The last time this happened the Windows associate agreed with me on how stupid it is to force a BIOS update. What if someone does not know what this is and holds the power button down, or their battery is out, or they close the lid? Personal i use software that works with one BIOS and bricks on the new one. So every time this happens I have to go through the trouble of getting to another PC download the old BIOS boot in and reflash.

Just waiting on one of the blue screens to actually damage something so I have to spend hours reinstalling everything.


I was always taught given how bad it can go to never update the BIOS unless 1. there is a problem with the BIOS you are on. 2. there is a feature that you would like or need in the new BIOS that you are willing to chance **** going sideways to install a new BIOS. I know some of you are like BIOS flash is not big deal , but in my situation it is!!! Regardless the "feature" should default to off and with a tone of warning be toggled on if you simply must include this BS in your software.



So Why Microsoft and Comunity are Windows still forcing a potential bricking of someone's PC?

Again I brought this up before when I was in the windows insider program and it seemed like people agreed with me. The Microsoft employee said she would send my concerns up the food chain. How many PC do you think you have bricked?


I am not a wealthy man, but the minute you cost me any loss of data or a long downtime I will be contacting an attorney.

Maybe I can crowdfund the attorney fees, or maybe I just go broke, but this **** has got to stop. It's my PC you can claim you still own the software I use and can force me to update it, but I bought this laptop and the ASUS BIOS does not say Microsoft anywhere I can see. It's mine I can choose to update or not stay the F*** out of my BIOS!!!!!!!

Hi all i am new in this forum, i need meanings step by step of each item listed in the bios Phoenix-Award

 

Should I update bios?

I would read the warranty before doing anything. If the manufacturer finds out you did something not on their approved list of steps,for example using a program they didn't list, or a bios, etc, they can treat your video card rma like you threw it against the wall , because if something goes wrong and you didn't follow their steps exactly ,it was damaged through human error and they're not likely going to be obligated to cover it warranty wise. I don't know for sure, I just advocate that you check first , and I also advocate that you verify that it's an actual update ,because very rarely do manufacturers release updates for gpu bios'. And they most certainly wont cover a GPU "update" if its a bios file written by some dude in the Ukraine, it has to be a set process, they have predetermined often.
