9730 bios XPS_17_9730_1.21.0 error unsupported bios image

This message, "unsupported bios image", is not how I planned to start my morning!

Dell, please explain.

Were you (or Dell or Windows update) attempting a firmware update?  And what version of the firmware is on the system now?

@ejn63​ I was.  I downloaded the bios exe, suspended bitlocker, then double-clicked on the exe.

Go into setup (F2 a few times at powerup).  What is the current firmware version?
