Fixes & Enhancements
- Firmware updates to address security vulnerabilities.
- Fixed the issue where the system enters into BIOS recovery when the power button is pressed twice quickly. This issue occurs when the user tries to power on the system.
- Fixed the issue where USB 4.0 devices cannot be disabled in BIOS Setup.
Important Information
- Once the BIOS is upgraded, you cannot downgrade the BIOS EXE/Recovery (RCV) to versions earlier than 1.4.0 due to restrictions. BIOS downgrades are restricted when there are security updates and important fixes with earlier versions that impact the functionality of the system.
- BIOS updates take no more than 5 minutes to be installed on your system. You can install the updates in the background while using the system.
