SupportAssist trying to install wrong BIOS
for over a month my SupportAssist and DELL UPDATES has been trying to get me to install "Dell Precision 3630 Tower System BIOS"
But my computer is not a TOWER 3630, my computer is a Laptop, a Dell G3 3779. I do not know why this is happening. I have tried to report this to dell several times, but nothing has been done. I even did a CHAT Support thing once and told the lady that was trying to help me with the problem, but she wasn't understanding what I was trying to say or something. and that was over a month ago.
Here is the Driver details that these DELL APP's are trying to get me to install
Dell Precision 3630 Tower System BIOS
This package contains the Dell System BIOS update. BIOS is a firmware that is embedded on a small memory chip on the system board. It controls the keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and other devices.
Version: 2.1.2
Category: BIOS
Release Date: August 07, 2019
Last Updated: NA
Importance: Recommended
File Format: Update Package for Microsoft Windows
File Name: Precision_3630_2.1.2.exe
File Size: 22.75 MB
But as I said I do not have the computer this BIOS is for, I have never had this type of Dell Computer. My only Dell PC is a Dell G3 3779 Laptop. I mean years ago I had a desktop computer, but that was a computer I bought like over 19 years ago, and stopped working like 4 or 5 years ago.

OH, I see, the guy that replies to my post gets help, but me, the guy to did the post doesn't get the help... THANKS DELL.
Now I know why out of 3 laptop and 3 desktops, only 1 of each was a dell. Do you have problems with disabled veteran's or something?

Exact same situation here. I actually have the referenced 3630 tower, but oddly Support Assist wants to install it in my G3 3779 laptop.
Please PM me for my computer identifications.
