Started getting message: Settings, Restart Required. Your system needs to be restarted to finish setting up this device: HP R21 System Firmware.
I first went and tried to install latest Bios (9/25/23) and no change. Looking at Device manager says I need to restart but shows I have version 9/25/23 installed. Cannot update. Doing a system Information Report shows that the BIOS is actually version 02.18.00 dated 6/21/23.
Firmware is pending update on next system reboot.
Pending Firmware Version: 21900
Firmware failed to update during the last attempt.
Last Attempt Version: 21900
Last Attempt Date: 11/29/2023 8:18:31 PM
Last Attempt Status: 0xC000009A
Appears newer version did not install properly and restarting has no affect on it.
Would appreciate info on how to resolve this.
