So tonight I clicked on Windows Update and it showed an updated BIOS for my laptop (BIOS F.18).  There is no F.18 BIOS on the downloads page for my laptop yet.  I do have Bitlocker installed which requires a PIN every boot.  I went to install the update, and it rebooted, but throws an error.  Windows Update says it was successfully installed.  It wasn't, I'm still on F.17, but every reboot throws an error.  This is more for HP's attention, my laptop is functioning fine although the reboot error notification/BIOS update failure is annoying.  This happened once before, and after HP finally released the BIOS on their downloads page and I installed, it went away.  HP, please test the Windows Update release more thoroughly, and post the F.18 BIOS on the downloads page so I can make the error go away, please.
