Hi @SenolSahin,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thanks for sharing the screenshot, it’s very helpful. Here’s what’s happening:

What the Image Shows

• The HP BIOS Update and Recovery tool says:
  “The BIOS you are installing is older than the current version in the system and cannot be executed.”
• This means your system already has a newer BIOS than the update HP Support Assistant keeps suggesting.

Why This Happens

• Your OMEN 35L originally had ROM Family SSID 8CF1 (F.10) installed successfully on 14.08.2025.
• HP Support Assistant is now offering ROM Family SSID 8CF3 (F.14), but your system likely already has F.14 or newer installed after the recovery USB updates.
• HP Support Assistant sometimes doesn’t clear old update tasks even after successful installs, causing repeated prompts.

Which BIOS Is Up-to-Date?

• If the tool says the offered update is older than your current version, your PC already has the latest BIOS (or a newer one).
• You can confirm by: 
  1. Press F10 during boot → Enter BIOS Setup.
  2. Check BIOS Version and ROM Family SSID. 
     • If it shows F.14 (8CF3) or higher, you’re good.

How to Stop HP Support Assistant from Repeating This Update

1. Clear HP Support Assistant Cache: 
   • Open HP Support Assistant → Settings → Health Analysis and Updates → Clear update history.
      
2. Disable the Specific Update: 
   • In HP Support Assistant, go to Updates, find the BIOS update, and select Ignore this update.
      
3. Manual Check: 
   • Download the latest BIOS for your OMEN 35L from HP’s official page:
     OMEN 35L Gaming Desktop GT16-03xxx PC (A5ER2AS) Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
     Compare the version with what’s installed.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
