What is the latest BIOS for this laptop?
Product number: 1A3Y3AV
Serial number: C********X

Your support website says F.68 [11/2024] but something pushed F.71 to this laptop today [7/23/2026] !

I have not used this laptop for over a year.

@MrNara,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

That is indeed interesting.

 

You are correct: HP's support page for your HP Laptop PC 15t-dw300 CTO (1A3Y3AV) does currently lists F.68 (November 2024) as the latest BIOS available for manual download, yet your notebook reports receiving F.71 today.

 

Please verify the installed BIOS version by pressing Windows + R, typing msinfo32, and looking at BIOS Version/Date, or by running the following PowerShell command:

 

Get-CimInstance Win32_BIOS | Select-Object SMBIOSBIOSVersion, ReleaseDate

 

If it shows F.71, there's generally no cause for concern. HP sometimes distributes newer BIOS revisions through Windows Update as UEFI firmware updates before (or without) updating the BIOS listed on the HP Support website.

 

Please let me know what BIOS Version/Date is reported, and whether the update was installed through Windows Update, HP Support Assistant, or another method.

 

Kind Regards,
