Need easy version rollback for faulty BIOS F57

[igw]

My Pavilion 590-p0004  on current Windows 10  22H2  is randomly freezing after installing BIOS update F57 from HP support site. Have run every possible scan to eliminate any other explanation.  Need to roll back to earlier BIOS. I have already reinstalled the same BIOS F57 with no effect.  Since HP released a faulty version (just read the online chatter) they need to provide an easy way to roll back to an earlier version.

Hi

You may have to wait for HP to release a new BIOS version

Or check the following link for a way to reprogram the BIOS using an earlier version.

Kudos to @pcgraphix for providing a solution.

Or find a local PC tech who can reprogram the BIOS.

Hi  -

Thanks.  I had found this earlier and decided it was too scary.

The real issue is how do we put pressure on HP to quickly fix a problem that they created?

Hi

My pleasure.

I am a Forum volunteer and don't work for HP.

Hopefully HP, if aware of this problem, will quickly issue a new BIOS update to fix the problem. There are other products, in addition to the 590 series and 690 series PCs, affected by recent faulty BIOS updates.

I have the same issue - hoping for the new BIOS soon.  The fix is pretty complex.  I have a Pavillion Gaming Desktop 690-0024.

F.58 Rev.A

Does this fix the F57 BIOS freezing issue?   Has anyone tried it??

Hi @mesoulz, @igw  

HP has released the F.58 BIOS update to fix the previous BIOS update. 

Try it. Hopefully it will work.

I tried, it rebooted (phew!).  Hopefully no more locking!

UPDATE:  Still going, no freezing!!!
