Updated Firmware Not Started

[DonT54]

On Feb. 28th I updated the firmware in the Device Manager and no problems were encounter and it updated with no errors. When I look in the events section of the device driver it shows "not started" pending reboot which I did reboot. I am inserting images of what I see and hopefully someone can let me know if this is a problem or just let it go or what. I think maybe the driver that was there had parts of it updated. My machine is running perfectly and booting perfectly.  SFC and all DISM scans found no problems.

Thank you,

Don

My computer is kept up to date with all updates. The only updates I install from HPSA are the "recommended" updates if needed for my system if I am having problems requiring a specific update. I do not bother with optional updates. I install critical updates from HPSA and my computer is set to automatically download all updates from Microsoft as updates are checked for every 12 to 24 hrs.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Do you actually think that I am going to create headaches and screw up my computer which is running in top form  and only five months old by doing a factory reset? I just asked why the firmware update did not start when I updated it. Doing a factory reset is the last thing I would ever do on my computer and before I would do that I would use my warranty here or at the store I purchased it from which is a full three year warranty replacement and get a new one.  That seems to be the general recommendation at HP is to do a factory reset when an answer is not known. Thanks for the help but no thanks.
