HP Recommended
Product: HP ProBook 445 G7 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My HP ProBook 445 G7 (AMD Ryzen 3 4300U) keeps recommending BIOS updates every 6 months.

I have had bad experiences with this, on other systems.

I would like to know, if this laptop is one of the HP computers that have an HP BIOS Restore tool that might be able to recover the BIOS from an earlier version and restore basic functionality, in the event of a failed upgrade.

HP says : " This tool might or might not work in the event of BIOS corruption depending on many factors, but is worth trying in the event the BIOS is corrupted."

PLease advise, as I do not want to keep updating BIOS so frequently, as it is like "rolling the dice".
