r/Dell on Reddit: Firmware Update from Windows Update?
July 3, 2024 -
Hello Everyone. Hope you're well. I have a Dell G15 5515 (Ryzen Edition) Laptop.
Windows Update shows up this firmware update 1.19.0. I currently have 1.16.0 BIOS installed. I always updated my BIOS from Dell Update and manually with the executable.
Weeks ago I don't know what happened but dell update app showed an update but suddenly disappeared after some days before this.
On dell support webpage the version 1.16.0 is the lastest available the 1.19.0 doesn't appear.
I've never had problems with BIOS updates and I don't really know if it's good idea to update to that version from Windows Update.
Shall I update it from Windows Update? Or anyone has this version.
I'm about to reinstall Windows to have a clean install because I have a lot of stuff I don't really need.
Someone knows if it will update the firmware automatically? Thankfuly it didn't.
I will be waiting for your answers, I appreciate it very much.
Edit:
Just used my computer today, and Windows downloaded and forced me to install the firmware update (turn off and update, and restart and update) It successfully updated. And now my laptop is on BIOS version 1.19.0. just installed and didn't noticed something bad. edit this comment if I found something weird. attach the link to the video of the entire process that recorded.

The Dell firmware (BIOS) updates seem to be new in Windows 11 Windows Update. I don't recall seeing that in Windows 10 and below. I don't know why it only mentions "firmware" and not explicitly "BIOS" but it's def the BIOS. And the firmware update history is listed under "Driver Updates."

r/sysadmin on Reddit: Reliable Dell firmware update method
December 8, 2021 -
Hi,
i try to update our dell firmware because of the recent iDrac issues. I like to update all components not only the idrac.
Frist i tried the HTTPS and FTP method. But they dont work anymore. (HTTPS with the required LC version)
Then i created a USB Stick with the ISO. Worked fine for one server. Other one boot from this stick but i cannot launch the update utility (stuck at grub menu)
Offline FTP with DRM does also not work. No real documentation about folder structure for ftp server access.
So my big question is, how can i reliable update different dell series 14 servers? I dont have any vCenter or SCCM.
Regards.

Most sysadmins may not know this, but you can upload the Windows-specific update executable through iDRAC's Update & Rollback page as an update binary. The .EXEs are just self-extracting archives, so there's nothing unique or surprising about iDRAC being able to unzip them. I've done this on PowerEdge R630 servers with an iDRAC 8 Express licence. I can't recall, but I think this also works on iDRAC 7. To be clear, you can take the following executables (as examples): BIOS_9FG85_WN32_2.12.1_01.EXE or iDRAC-with-Lifecycle-Controller_Firmware_VDD4R_WN32_2.80.80.80_A00.EXE and upload them through iDRAC for painless updates. Protip: you can upload every binary into a batch (job queue) and let iDRAC figure out the update sequence.
