Windows 10: Updating BIOS failed (updating ME problem)

thanks, I did just that and it worked.

 

I'm kinda freaking out right now and I'd like some help, please reply as fast as able. my dell computer's service tag is JZG98Y1

I had the thought of checking my pre-built dell computer for updates from the dell website, and it returned 2 updates, one of which was a BIOS update (version before then was A11). Naturally I download this update, close as many programs I don't need running at this time, and afterwards, I run it by simple double clicking and click update. after a while, it fails saying it couldn't check the ME version, closed itself, and when I tried to run it again, it said I had A12 installed, but when using the "wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion" command on an elevated command prompt, it gave me A11

if it was anything else, I'd be mildly panicking, but since this involves the BIOS im full on DEFCON 2, because I don't want to fry my motherboard again (last time it happened was a powersurge, had to get the full board replaced). I heard there's a /forceit tag I can use with this, but what can I do to ensure I don't pear-shape my everything.

Cant update using nokia software updater for Nokia 5800

hi there I would just like to find out how can I go about updating my phone with the new software that is available for the Nokia 5800? I've tried many times on downloading it but it's not working on my PC. It tells me the whole time that I need to check

Could someone be so kind in helping me. I can't even download the new maps to my phone. I live in South Africa and the street that I live in doesn't even appear on the maps that's on my phone.



I NEED HELP ASAP

 

BIOS UPDATING

Hello Randy,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft community.

Since this issue is related to BIOS, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your motherboard for better assistance.

Official Support | ASUS Global

Hope it helps. If you have any other query related to Windows 10 feel free to post.

 

What version does the BIOS screen and System Info in Windows show? I suggest trying the upgrade again from Safe Mode if you still think the BIOS version is wrong or perhaps ask a question on the Dell support forum before you proceed. You can ask Dell support if you still have cover.

 

Check computer (Motherboard) instructions. It's best to update BIOS thru BIOS and not thru software. Most usual way is to put updated BIOS file in a USB formatted to Fat32, enter BIOS, choose update and point it ti that USB.

 

In the end, updating bios is only needed if you get issues or latest update is needed for security.

 

That's for sure.
