@Tesla1856 ,

her is my Hardware Rev. 

CPU BIOS REV.

I have a brand new i5 9300 unboxed yesterday on 1.0.6.  I am pairing it with my CalDigit TB3.  Right now, it woks great, but I have NOT downloaded any Windows updates since I don't know how to keep the Dell Firmware from popping into the list.  I delayed the updates for the 5 day limit.

Can someone help me with the proper way to keep the firmware from auto updating and potentially ruining my working setup, but also allow the other Windows updates to occur?

@ClawSS2 

welcome to our thread, yes you can block the driver updates via windows update.
There are instructions on the internet for this.

I only know that you have to enter something in the windows registry.
And
something has to be changed via gpedit.msc in the windows update settings

Hi @Sejsel ,

I recommend urging you to contact support and presenting your concerns to Dell.

So that the topic becomes present at Dell, the thing must escalate.

To get a fix.

You can also refer to the thread here.

That the Dell Supporter Agent doesn't waste any more time

@ClawSS2 boot into bios, go to security and disable the "UEFI Capsule Firmware Updates"

Will prevent windows update from installing the bios. 

Thanks @describee for the tip 

Seriously, Dell should refund everyone in this thread the full invoice value of their XPS 13 9300. I've wasted so much time debugging and talking to Dell about this issue that I'm now at a net-loss for buying this laptop.

I've never been able to achieve a successful 4k @ 60Hz connection from the day I received this machine.

@HugoMRod 

I reported it to Support as soon as 1.0.10 was released. Did everything they asked, remote session, reinstall Windows and even SENT in my XPS13 to the repair facility...at first they tried to tell me it was my monitor BUT I have a BRAND NEW Dell P2421DC...

in the end, they just sent me a replacement with 1.0.6...

I feel defeated...

@LiquidIce012 I know what you feel man.

And I guess we are a lot on the same boat.
I try to help them, give them my time, logs, answers, tests....but at the end, nothing goes forward.

I think I never went to such trubles with one computer...

@LiquidIce012 & @describee ... Thanks to both of you.  I was able to stop the BIOS update and stay where I was but receive the other Windows updates.  I doubled down with wushowhide.diagcab to also HIDE the updates until a "fix" is found.

I will keep monitoring this thread for a better BIOS update that is verified by all of you fine folks dealing with the issue in hopes that the frustration does not build into a "return point".  Thank to everyone now and in the future.

Heard from an internal Dell contact that the report I submitted about this has been assigned to someone within the Advanced Resolution Support Triage team as a Priority 2 item.  I don't have any more information than that at this point, so please don't ask me what exactly "Priority 2" means.  I'm relaying what I'm getting as I'm getting it.

I think we will all get a solution in the next BIOS update. The error and the behavior was passed on with PRIO 2 is already a step further.
I also think that the good reviews of the system are currently suffering from the fact that there are a lot of users with the bios problems.

I also noticed that there is currently a 32GB RAM version. but why should I buy it if nothing works.

Yep, I have the 32GB RAM model and it has been sitting in my office unused for 3 weeks because of the BIOS issues. Only another week or so until my return window expires

Any luck with the usb c display issue?

I have a usb c hub with hdmi port connected to dell monitor. The setup works perfectly with Lennovo X1 carbon  and macbook pro 13, so definitely not an issue with hub or monitor.
