May 26, 2023Firmware Update from Windows Update?
Dell does publish firmware updates via Windows Update. In fact its the only way that the new Snapdragon-based systems are allowed to get updates (Example: Inspiron 14 3420 ). That said, sometimes Windows Update sometimes thinks the firmware updates are related to a system when they don't. The update you're seeing absolutely doesn't apply and is actually older then the BIOS you have installed, being released in 2021!: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=f4ac793c-cb82-4b32-a4c1-c9dfdafe37ad You can ignore the update. If you where to try to install it the update would just fail with a not compatible error. Edit: If you actually download the update package and tear into it, the update is actually for a Latitude 3470: com.dell.uefi8661c04a.firmware 8661c04a-bf3e-47db-a133-ef36a2a91196 Latitude 3470 System Update Firmware for the Dell Latitude 3470

January 11, 2021XPS 15 9560: "Firmware update failed. Rebooting system."
If your system doesn't have a battery you may be forced to flash the BIOS update with a USB. Trying to update from Dell's support site won't work. That said if the system keeps loading asking to set the time you may have a dying CMOS battery that needs to be replaced. More on reddit.com

Same here. but not exactly sure what happened. I restarted my laptop and saw that the BIOS and a few other components were being updated, without me triggering the update. What's weird is that I couldn't find any trace of what triggered this BIOS update. @Anonymous, can you confirm that this update came from you? System: Dell XPS 9360 Additionally, Windows 10 was then not happy and demanded entry of the bitlocker key - This is really not great when you're abroad on a trip with your work computer.

This, as well as the many issues that can occur from bios updates, is why I'm surprised that this was automatic without a warning. In windows update, you can see that a firmware update was pushed by Dell.

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."
