Hi @DaveOak48,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

I understand how frustrating it can be when a BIOS update keeps reappearing even after you’ve installed it successfully. Let’s resolve this together.

Step 1: Confirm BIOS Update Installed

1. Press Windows + R, type: 
2. msinfo32

and press Enter.

1. In System Information, check BIOS Version/Date. 
   • If it shows F.40, the update was applied correctly.

Step 2: Clear HP Support Assistant Cache

Sometimes, HP Support Assistant doesn’t refresh its update status:

1. Open HP Support Assistant.
2. Click Settings (gear icon).
3. Under Health Analysis, select Clear Cache.
4. Restart HP Support Assistant.

Step 3: Hide the Update

If the notification persists:

1. In HP Support Assistant, go to Updates.
2. Find the BIOS update.
3. Click Ignore Update to stop future prompts.

Step 4: Reinstall HP Support Assistant

If clearing the cache doesn’t help:

• Uninstall HP Support Assistant from Apps & Features.
• Download the latest version from HP: 👉 HP Support Assistant | HP® Support

Step 5: Manual BIOS Verification

If you want to ensure the update is applied:

• Download the BIOS SoftPaq (sp163188) again from HP: 👉 HP Laptop 15s-fq4553sa (53A19EA) Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support
• Run the installer. If it says “Already installed,” you’re good.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!

Hi Vikram, thanks so much for you reply/help, I've checked the Bios version & it is BIOS Version/Date AMI F.33, 04/10/2023 so that proves the update has not loaded even though I've tried to load it several times. I would be very grateful if you could amend your reply to help me get the F40 version to load. Many thanks, David.
