Fixes & Enhancements
- Fixed the issue where the system does not charge when you connect the AC adapter to the system.
- Fixed the issue where the USB4 solid state driver is not detected. This issue occurs when the Dell WD22TB4 dock is connected to the system through the thunderbolt port.
Important Information
- Once the BIOS is upgraded, you cannot downgrade the BIOS to version 1.25.0 or earlier due to downgrade 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.
