HP Envy x360 Ryzen F19 BIOS disaster DO NOT UPDATE

Shared memory is nothing more than just that, no extra benefit.

Guys, don't forget to enable windows reporting tool so that MS can possibly follow your adventures and eventually fix the update process. Regardless of hardware there's been a number of issues in updating to 1903 affecting several hardware/driver configs not just Ryzen, so nothing new... That's been clearly cautioned in Feb. by several beta upgraders. For now, I'm not interested in wasting time reinstalling everything from scratch, I'll stay on the sidelines until Sept./Oct. Have fun.

Well just ran 3dmark, and Superposition they both tell me 256 is to low but then they run perfect anyway. I have not had a single game not run because of vram and 1903 just seems really snappy.....

I also just ran the open gl tests in GFXbench and all the texture corruption is totally gone. I know opengl is not used as much now, Don't know if something in 19.61 driver or maybe something in 1903 but what an improvement. best win 10 build so far.....

Driver does not list mobile ryzen as supported...besides running samsung Nvme driver and the sata ssd is on generic microsoft. Always heard that AMD sata drivers were not that good....Hey good to hear you guys, I kind of thought this page was dead..

Still keeping an eye on what's new re Ryzen/HP woes 🙂

Regarding RAID, this is a low level driver that has a crucial role in managing storage. If AMD recommends updating it they must have a reason. It may be more chipset/CPU family specific rather than a particular CPU model.

BIOS F.21 has come out. However, by extracting its' contents, it does not seem the GOP has been updated:

F19:

F20:

F21:

Still don't know if the default VRAM setting is changed or the video driver compability changed, since I sill have not installed this update.

WoW over 6 months!! Surprised HP even made a new BIOS attempt. Did anyone look outside to see if Hell froze over? Now which of us cowardly souls wants to draw the short straw and install this BIOS ? Remember HP's Track record has been a slosh through a  sewer.  I really don't want to deal with another HP BIOS nightmare scenario.......

I would rather have a cowardly computer than a dead or screwed up one. Its tragic that HP has become so bad....
