Dell does automatic BIOS-updates without asking?
That's so stupid, I can't even grasp it.

At least you have seven minutes. Our work laptop just decides to restart on its own whenever it's my turn to talk in a virtual meeting.

That's why I always check my tech about an hour in advance. Been there.

AFAIK, Dell isn't auto-updating firmware.

@-pthread by default it does on new notebooks.

Just did a DELL BIOS flash three days ago on an office machine. While it was done via their obnoxious assistant software, I don't recall it ever auto-triggering a BIOS update even though one has been available for a while.

@Maer somehow it happened to me, I just turned on my laptop in the morning and it started with this screen. 🤷‍♂️
You should feel lucky.

@JS96 bought the same laptop in December. Hell of a machine, just happy there's a way to still undervolt the thing in the newest bios.
