Unless you see a fix that addresses a problem you are having, I would stay with the version you have now. It could be an error in numbering the version. And I would bet that when you install 1.1.1, Dell update will prompt you to install 1.2.0 again.
The update reads as urgent and lists several priority security updates. If this is a newer update, then I want to update to it to address the security vulnerabilities that are repaired under the update.
Fixes: - Fixed the issue where the system displays a warning message intermittently when you connect a 90W adapter. - Fixed the issue where random programs launch unexpectedly when multiple keys are pressed together. - Fixed the TPM configuration on a TPM startup error during S3 sleep resume. - Update Intel ME Firmware to address security advosories INTEL-SA-00112(CVE-2018-3628 CVE-2018-3629 CVE-2018-3632) & INTEL-SA-00118(CVE-2018-3627)
It is an old update, Dell made a mistake. After installing it AIDA64 tells me that the BIOS internal date is from April 2018. Version 1.20 is the latest version.
Around a week ago, I was told by Dell Tech Support that this is a rollback because the 1.2.0 is unreliable under win 10 version 1809. In fact, I was having sound problems (the same that are described in some posts) and as part of the solutions I was told to install 1.1.1 Please take into account that what I am quoting are the words of one Tech Support representative. On the other hand, having rolled back, for a couple of days the web based driver update utility asked me to update the 1.2.0. BIOS version but today it does not anymore. Where does the truth lie ? Do you think it is too much to receive an official Dell guideline ?
It looks like as of today they've listed 1.2 as the latest BIOS version, again. It would be nice to get a clear answer. FYI, I'm running a Windows Insider Build, version 1903. The 1.2 BIOS seem very stable.
I have win 10 version 1809. I have a lot of problem with the touchpad (freez, random click etc...). I contacted the Dell support and told me to try yo use the bios 1.1.1.
With this version of bios the touchpad is ok.
If i try to install last bios 1.2.0 the problem returns.
The update reads as urgent and lists several priority security updates. If this is a newer update 9apps, then I want to update to it to address the security vulnerabilities that are repaired under the update.

Thank you.

As such, a clear answer from Dell would be great.
