Problems updating the BIOS HP PAVIOLION F.41-09/19/2016

[Fe7561]

I need to update the BIOS HP PAVILION version F.41-09/19/2016  to a better one, because the software is not available on HP's website.

I have an HP Pavilion 15-ab126la and I need to update the BIOS, as I have an error in Windows Update since I can't install version 2018-05 Windows 10 Update Version 1607 for x64 based systems (KB4132216).

Please help me. I'll be grateful for any real help.

Hi Paul, I appreciate your help, but I couldn't update it. My device isn't compatible with this update. I don't know what to do.

My device:

HP Pavilion 15-ab126la

Actual BIOS: F.41-09/19/2016

You're very welcome. 

Your notebook has an AMD processor, correct?

That's the information I could find on it.

If your notebook has an AMD processor and that update didn't work, unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you.

I'm grateful for your help Paul. I don't understand what's going on. 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Me either.

It should have been the right file for all 15-ab notebooks with the AMD processors.

Hello @Paul_Tikkanen & @Bill_To

I was able to solve the problem, but it resulted in a series of steps that went beyond just installing the HP PAVILION BIOS v. F.54.

This is what I did:

1.a Visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 

1.b Download The Update Assistant 

Error Detected: 0xc1900209

2. Fix error 0xc1900209

Solution: Run the StartComponentCleanup option through Task Manager. To do this, I have used a tutorial.

Tutorial:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQdflrxKHa4

Error Detected: 0x80070002

2. Fix error 0x80070002

Solution: Run the Windows Update troubleshooter

PS: I didn't make a backup because I didn't need it

3. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter to check that there are no errors

4. Update HP PAVILION BIOS version F.54
