Hello, Silver Surfer here. I have a problem and hope you can help.
The HP Support Assistant keeps recommending that I install an update for the Bios family 8431 version F.41, but when I try to
install the download, I get the following message.
"The Bios you are installing is older than the current version in the system and cannot be executed"
I cancel the installation, but the Support Assistant keeps telling me to install the update. How do I stop the Support Assistant from insisting that I install the update. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
