HP Envy x360 Ryzen F19 BIOS disaster DO NOT UPDATE

[xxalazin]

To those of you still having glitches.. When I first got this machine it was crap the OS had all sorts of issues I took the first one back to Bestbuy. Then however Bestbuy had a 100 dollar off sale and I bought another one. Similar issues, only this time I reinstalled windows 10 and guess what?. most of my glitches and problems disappeared. Like every thing they make HP qaulity is almost nonexistant.. Reinstall your OS from scratch it might fix your problems....... Have a good day...

No luck with F.20, the system goes black screen while installing driver, and at every reboot I have a THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER BSOD

Also, now that I am putting back the famous 22.19, the installer offers to install the newer version. I think that HP should put out the F.19-renamed-as-F.21 ASAP.

Have you tried uninstall/remove the old driver with DDU before installing 19.2.3?

I use DDU and started from ms display adaptor mode no install issues at all.

I wonder where's HP on that?

In a fantasy world we will all wake and a Brand New Bios with selectable Vram  would be waiting for us. However with the usable HP carlessness and lack of Customercare not going to happen maybe not ever....

Does the amount of dedicated Vram matter at all since there is also up to 3.5GB of shared Vram? What's the difference in dedicated and shared performance-wise?

I've also noticed since upgrading the BIOS to F19 and the AMD driver, Radeon Freesync is no longer supported in the settings. It was working previously.

[xxalazin]

Thats a really good question. I think it just means that the memory is reserved and preallocated to just video so its faster although when I had F19  I did not benchmark any faster.......
