This package contains the Dell system BIOS update. BIOS is a firmware that is embedded on a small memory chip on the system board. It controls the keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and other devices.
Fixes: - Fixed the issue where the mouse lags when the Dell TB16 dock is unplugged or plugged in. - Fixed the issue where the screen does not display content when the lid is opened and closed repeatedly. - Firmware updates to address security advisory INTEL-SA-00213 (CVE-2019-0086, CVE-2019-0091, CVE-2019-0092, CVE-2019-0093, CVE-2019-0094 and CVE-2019-0096) - Firmware updates to address security advisories INTEL-SA-00233(CVE-2018-12126, CVE-2018-12127, CVE-2018-12130 and CVE-2019-11091) - Removed the preboot Intel RST Manager Optimized Defaults option. - Fixed the issue where the BitLocker prompts for recovery. It occurs when Auto Power On option in BIOS setup is set to wake up the system at a specific time.
Enhancements: - Modified battery algorithm to prolong lifespan and minimize risk of swelling.
