Insyde Bios Flash Utility Update Is Okay

This was the first one that popped up in the middle of my screen and subsequently shut down all of the windows and programs I had open.

Simply ask a new question if you would like to start the discussion again.

It wasnt from HP.

It had a blue bird logo and in my Programs it says it was from Insyde.

I tried to verify that the Performance System is working properly through the HP Assistant.

Everything seems to be fine except for the Clearing Web Browsers.

Besides INSYDE FLASH now showing up in my Programs, Fishhook.exe is now showing.

They havent shown up previously.

Insyde Bios Flash Utility Update Is Okay

Can anyone tell me if the BIOS update is okay or if it is a virusthreat Thank you.

Welcome Not sure what popped-up for the BIOS update - it could have been from HP Support Assistant, but this is not a virus.

Its used for lots of PC vendors - check their website Personally, I do not recommend you do it unless you experience some issues with your existing BIOS and you are sure that the new BIOS will fix it.

General recommendation I provide to userscustomers is NOT to upgrade BIOSUEFI unless they experience any kind of specific BIOSUEFI issue.

Updating just for updaing and just for using the latest verson is not solution.

Any kind of update (no matter for what and who relesed it) can fix 2 issues but may introduce 10 more issues.

Additionally, upgrading the BIOS (for any vendor) poses more risks because BIOS recovery is not that easy as compared to typical software updates IF something goes wrong.

Here is an additional reading for you In order to check your BIOS: - The BIOS includes instructions on how to load basic computer hardware and includes a test referred to as a POST (Power On Self Test) that helps verify the computer meets requirements to boot up properly.

If the computer does not pass the POST, you will receive a combination of beeps indicating what is malfunctioning within the computer.

PC powers off) - Power the computer back on.

As soon as you press the power-on button, immediately begin hitting the Esc button repeatedly (like tap-tap-tap) before any logo appears.

This should open a HP Startup Menu - Choosepress F10 to open the BIOS configuration.

Does it open - Exit BIOS without saving the changes and start Windows Let me know how it goes.

My screen was black for a long time when I first turned it on this morning.

I tried again to restart the computer and it seems to be fine now.

The BIOS update window popped up while I was editing photos in Lightroom.

Ive had Windows updates pop up for the past three days through Windows Update.
