How can I backup Bios settings£

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Brand new Z690 Extreme MB. I locked myself out by selected ultra fast prior to setting up my RAID1
Ended up clearing CMOS with jumper
That took me awhile to figure out how to get to bootable drives
Then I was able to use VMD and then set my non bootable RAID1 repair and I'm up and running

How can I save my current bios to USB in case I mess my system up again?

Select "Save User UEFI Setup Profile to Disk", you can find it at the bottom of the OC Tweaker page 4. Click "Select Disk", select the flash drive 5.

	Thank you I was able to save bios as profile 1 and then to a USB stick. I saved several times and chose default profile and then I tried a different name for the profile. Then, using Win11 I confirmed several .bin files on the usb stick before upgrading I JUST updated from R3.17 to R4.0.1 after successful upgrade bios went to default settings. I inserted USB stick, selected the USB stick and NO FILES were visible! I had redo the BIOS from scratch Don't understand why I couldn't load the bios settings I had before the upgrade? I am a novice with newer bios options Z690 Extreme
