F.22 Rev.A patch notes

[crua99]

I'm trying to find the patch notes for the 

"HP Consumer Desktop PC BIOS Update (ROM Family SSID 8A96)

Version: F.22 Rev.A

Release date: Jan 8, 2024"

I'm not finding anything saying what has changed. All I'm finding is documents on how to update. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_9996073-9996121-16

Normally I don't like updating my bios unless if one of the features is REALLY good, or there is some bugs I'm facing. I came from a time where bios updates were extremely risky and a bad update could mean your computer forgets it is a computer.

I'm not facing any bugs. So I want to know if there is any important features in it.

Note the site where you would normally see a reversion history it doesn't really give me any info I need to figure out what changed. 

Also, assuming you can find it. How? I looked all over for it

Look at this page

https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/swdetails/omen-by-hp-45l-gaming-desktop-pc-gt22-1000i/210142012...

click on the "Fixes" which says  "Provides improved security"

Other revisions give more detail for each under the "Revision History"

IMHO this revision is not improving user issues or hardware improvements, so wait, unless you know of a security issue that was fixed because of the CPU.

Thanks. Hopefully they will give us a heads up what security fixes it actually does.

You are welcome.  If there is a next version, it will include that Version: F.22 Rev.A.

FYI: I had read there was a couple of exploits found for CPU's, perhaps that is what it is intended to block. IDK
