HP Spectre 15-ch055na won’t upgrade to 1809

[Danwal82]

The Vega Drivers on Intel´s Site was all "Beta" so i think that is not even the problem. But i i take a look at the Picture of your Details i got aware that the "VGA BIOS UEFI Support" is not marked.

For the Intel HD 630 it is marked. Maybe this is why the Update to 1809 gets an Error.

 "Update failed in thesafe_os phase with an error during boot"

I don't think the Vega drivers have UEFI support, only the Intel drivers need it. If someone could run TechPowerUp on a HP driver I would be interested in the result.

Here it is on my HP Spectre x360 15-ch070:

I can't see the image for some reason, on another note my Windows Insider Preview updated to 18309.1000 today, with no problems, boot time is normal at about 20 seconds.  the only thing that I've noticed that doesn't work is Night Light mode, which is a known issue.

Having talked to support, they told me to wait until the update shows in windows update, then it will work, he couldn't give me a time scale when it will be available, but hopefully soon. https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-october-update-problems-wiped-docs-plus-intel-driver-warnin...

just read this and then checked my hp x360 13-ac053 laptop and the file exists in exactly this version number. So it appears we are still waiting for Microsoft to make an update...

Windows update 18309 finally installed sucessfully but I get a warning from device manager that Windows cannot verify the signature for my my Radeon driver.

@MrPierre how did u get the update ? did it come through Windows update ? 

[MrPierre]

I'm a member of the Windows Insider program.

Ho ok ! Yes Insider bulids are getting instealled, i was hoping it was the RTM bulid .

Interestingly I also tried 18309 today and while it installed fine, rebooting afterwards causes the freeze once again and makes it unbootable. Got a system image to restore this time at least.

Also worth noting that becoming an insider is currently also offering me a synaptics driver, which completely breaks my touchpad until i reinstall the hp ones. This might be because I've done the precision driver trick, but there it is anyway.
