Aurora R15, BIOS 1.16.0 update failed

Get it directly from the drivers page here.

Same issue is occurring with 1.17 and executable is failing to install through support assist or separate install directly from dell.

@KnwL3dE_1Z_p0Vv3R​ Reboot in Windows safe mode and try again.

Aurora R15

I am also having issues with updating my BIOS to 1.17.0 released on 22/10/2024.

I called Dell support.  They were unable to help me. 

I was told that the issue is something to do with Windows 11 : ( 

They simply told me to patiently wait for Windows to update the bios via windows update.

Has anyone found a solution to this issue? 

@czulas​ Reboot in Windows safe mode and try again.

Hey Vanadiel, 

I tried but without any sucess. 

Cheers 

I have the same issue cant update to bios 17.0

@Tripp003​ so, this is the confusing thing: There are 2 different machines, both called R15.

One is AMD, one is Intel based.

So pending on which R15 you have, you will need either the AMD or the Intel BIOS update...

Hello,

Dell software automatically picked my Bios update (Intel).

It sill failed to install Bios 1.17.0 released on 22/10/2024.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Did anyone find a solution for flashing the new BIOS 1.17.0 ?

I followed the instructions to update the BIOS but SupportAssist still showing not yet updated.. even after I already updated via the BIOS boot menu to R15_1.17 ........ confused.

Updating the BIOS from Windows

Note 1: Before updating the BIOS, ensure that you suspend BitLocker encryption on a BitLocker-enabled system. If BitLocker is not enabled on your system, you can ignore this step. For information about how to disable BitLocker, see How to Enable or Disable BitLocker with TPM in Windows at support.dell.com.
Note 2: Do not turn off power or interrupt the BIOS update process during the update.
Note 3: Your system requires a restart after installing the BIOS. The restart can be deferred but must be completed to ensure that the update is installed.

Download and Installation
1. Click Download File.
2. Click Save to save the file to your hard drive.
3. Browse to the location where you downloaded the file.
4. Double-click the new file.
The system restarts automatically and updates the BIOS at the system startup screen. After the BIOS update is complete, system restarts again.
