Venue 11 pro 7130 bios
I ran dell command update, dell system detect, online update and everything was updated. Currently running on A12 bios. But on dell website there is a new bios A13 listed. This is not detected by dell update scan. My tablet is working fine right now. Should I upgrade the bios manually? I'm cautiously thinking upgrading the bios... if it's not broken so why fix it?

Thanks for the feedback. I am running A12 without any issue even with thin keyboard. I'll leave it at A12 until any issues came up and fixable by A13 version.

Exact same thing happened to me too.
I updated the Bios, it took a couple of minutes with no issues.
I have also noticed that my SSD Firmware is not reported nor are a couple of other drivers even though they are out of date.

It is fair to say the Dell Utilities do not work as they should. In my experience they have never picked up the latest firmware or drivers so have to continually look myself to find Firmware to solve the issues I have experienced.
If you have A12 I would update to A13 if you are comfortable with the process of manually updating yourself. I have found A13 to be the best BIOS by far on this Tablet, however most of the issues were only experiencing with the docking station, if you do not have that then A12 may be ok.
