If you want to do a manual update, it comes packaged as Software Paq sp110601.exe Opens a new window, not unpackaged as bin.ĭoes anyone have any experience with Bios Updates via Windows Updates and any idea what the problem could be? Installed is the version 02.06.00, current is 02.07.01.Īccording to HP suppert web site Opens a new window, the current system firmware is version 02.07.01 Rev.A Opens a new window with a size of 18.9 MB and released on 6 November 2020. And as I mentioned above and before, often a Windows feature update requires a HP system firmware update before, in the last two years. In this case, you could try either other means like HP support assistant or manually. Some of those updates were doing reboots inbetween while some may have succeeded one another without reboot inbetween, only afterwards.Īnd if such a system firmware update fails, the last working one should be restored and used by the system. If I remember correctly, I encountered up to 3 or 4 component updates in one system firmware update. And with some system firmware updates they don't include an update of just one component but several components instead.
No worry to try out as HP (and many other OEMs) have implemented procedures for safe system firmware updates and formerly safe BIOS updates as long as power is not removed nore interrupted during that process. The times where you practically didn't update the bios as long as everything was running are unfortunately over for security reasons, which is why automatic updates might not be so bad - as long as they work properly, of course. And after a few driver updates, I also got the feature update to 20H2, skipping 2004.Įven though I am rather skeptical about it, I wanted to try it out. And it was the requirement to do a feature update. I can't remember which update service offered me the system firmware update. I have an HP (EliteDesk 800 G5 Tower) which has been offered an optional Bios Update via Windows Update.
