So I have a customer managed by Intune with Updaterings allowing Driver Updates and only in one model this happens, where bios update does require restart every morning when user powers up a PC. We see this on Elitebook 830 and 840 G7 devices at least. First I would like to confirm, how major issue this is and does anyone else experience the same problem? I think the workaround would be to create Win32 package with BIOS setup, but I would like to avoid this. Not sure, is it more of HP or Microsoft (update catalog error).

    We solved this by disconnecting everything, only powercord plugged in. Then attempt to update and restart was successfully done.

    I have similar problem on a 840 G6. It started a few months ago.

    On every login, I receive this notification:
    Restart required to finish setting up HP R70 System Firmware.

    Device manager shows it with yellow triangle and states that restart required.

    Where can I identify the BIOS/UEFI version?
