Hey @LuXoR159,

I sincerely apologize for the incorrect information I previously provided. I'm grateful for the chance to correct it and appreciate your understanding.

You're stuck at BIOS version F.81 (03/12/2024) because the F.46 BIOS update you're trying to apply is not meant for your system. Here's why:

Your BIOS version:

Installed: F.81 Rev.A

BIOS Family: 8918

System: OMEN by HP 40L Gaming Desktop PC GT21-0000i (392G1AV)

BIOS update file you're attempting:

Version: F.46 Rev.A

Also for BIOS family 8918 (seems compatible at first glance)

Your system (i7-14700F, 13th-gen or newer) has a different firmware path that requires the F.8x series.

Thus, the F.4x series, though labeled under BIOS family 8918, is for earlier HP OMEN models with Intel 10th/11th gen CPUs and lacks support for your CPU.

As the expert @NonSequitur777 mentioned, the best approach for now is to wait for a newer BIOS version (such as F.82 or higher) that will succeed F.81. 

Thanks for the feedback—this will be shared with the appropriate team.

I hope this helps explain why the BIOS update isn’t going through.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

Take care and have a good day.
