Hi @ritz2869
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thank you for reaching out. I understand that you have already updated the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI application, yet your system continues to indicate that an older version is being used. I will be glad to help you check this further.
To better understand the issue, could you kindly share the following details?
- The current BIOS version installed on your PC.
- The version of HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI that you downloaded and installed.
- Does the message appear when launching Diagnostics from within Windows, or when accessing Diagnostics through the UEFI environment during startup?
In the meantime, kindly try the below steps and confirm :
- Verify the Installed Version
- Open HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI.
- Check the version number displayed within the application and compare it with the latest version available for your specific model on HP's support website.
- Update the UEFI Diagnostics Directly
- Restart the PC and press F2 repeatedly during startup to enter HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI.
- Select Firmware Management or Diagnostics Update if available.
- Allow the system to update the diagnostics environment.
- Reinstall HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI
- Uninstall the current version from Windows.
- Restart the computer.
- Download and install a fresh copy from HP Support for your specific model.
- Update the BIOS
- An outdated BIOS can sometimes cause version mismatch messages between Windows and the UEFI diagnostics environment.
- Ensure your BIOS is updated to the latest version available for your model - https://support.hp.com/ .
I hope this helps.
