Hi Forum,
it took my attention that three of the Dell Clients in the company experienced the same behaviour after a BIOS Update came through the Windows Update Tool. Before the BIOS was updated a couple of Intel updates were installed therefore I express my concern here. The shown behaviour is that after the installation, the equipments most be reboot and by booting up they remained on "loading" at the initial Dell Logo, after that windows can't be booted anymore but only on safe mode. After a Systemrepair performed in the safe mode I was able to boot up windows again (not always) and after a reboot of the system the problem was there again.
The updated laptops are all different models: Latitude 5431, Latitude 5420 and a Inspiron 7706 2n1. From those Notebooks only the Latitutde 5431 was connected to a dockingstation. It's also important to remark, that the updates were received between the first and the second week of februeary and that by other equipments the update was installed without problem. Do you have any hint about a known problem or a way to isolate better the issue?
Shouldn't such BIOS updates be offered as optional updates instead of mandatory updates?
OS: Windows 10 Pro, 21H2 and 22H2
Best regards!

I'm having the same problem with Dell Inspiron 3593 (I think is the model). I used a self made recovery HD image and updated both Windows and Dell (through Dell Update) and the problem was still there. I then used a factory reset which solved the problem. After trying Dell update again a week later (with no Windows updates) the problem has returned, so I believe the problem lies with Dell update for me, and it seems to be an update around mid-February but I don't know which one. Dell are absolutely rubbish and I had already decided I will never buy another. Now I'm supposed to do 'product testing' for hours, days or weeks for Dell (again). No doubt they won't even speak to me because 'customer support' has expired and I need to pay them monthly. Through previous threads it seems they like to blame others too, such as Windows or anybody but themselves.

It sounds like you need to create some WinPE media in WADT and include the exes in the boot media.
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-downgrade-bios-on-windows-computer use this link to get the right media. boot into WinPE and run the exe.
lots of luck to you.
