NVME Firmware 22.30.11.18 failed to update after a successful driver update

Question

The Dell, Inc. Driver Update (22.30.11.18) successfully installed on my machine, but the resulting NVME Firmware 22.30.11.18 failed to update after the driver installed correctly. I have tried removing the firmware to reinstall it with no success. An optional update of NET Framework installed successfully despite this failure, but now I am worried that future critical updates like System BIOS will not be able to install. Please, can someone help me?

Note: It is always recommended to download and install drivers from the manufacturer's Support page. If you're not experiencing any hardware issues, there's no need to install this driver update.

Please check if you can still use the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide the driver update. Window Update won’t install hidden drivers or updates. Run the troubleshooter then please try hiding the NVME Firmware 22.30.11.18 driver update that will show in the list. You may try restarting your pc if it helps.

Answer 3

Although the driver installed successfully, the SSD firmware update did not, something that’s fairly common and usually harmless. These NVMe firmware failures don’t impact BIOS or Windows updates; they simply indicate that the firmware wasn’t applicable or couldn’t be safely flashed. You can continue installing all other updates without any concern.
