    DELL BIOS update via windows update causes problems


    Yesterday a windows update came up. It downloaded automaticaly, without asking me, and i had to restart my laptop, without the option not to do it and just remove the update. After that i noticed that it was a DELL BIOS update and since then my laptop has some gaming issues. My question, is there a way to remove that update? It can't be removed the usual way, click on remove updates, there is not such an option for this.

    :)

  2. 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.

    Lol, there is still so many myths about flashing bios and people actually believe in them. People, this is 2018, not 1998, bios updates are easy and when file is provided by manufacturer themselves then they do RMA gpus, motherboards, mice and all other devices which failed during flashing.
