X99 BIOS P3.30 not enough for Windows version 2004

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

   Hi, I was just told by Microsoft, after upgrading from Windows Pro version 1909 to Windows Pro version 2004, upon finding that one of the subsequent upgrades (Cumulative Update: KB4566782) would not install, I was informed that my BIOS is not compatible with Version 2004, and that I must upgrade my BIOS.

First off I am suspect, but secondly, in searching for ANY bios for my X99 WS board, I don't see anything from the asrock website, or from the asrock beta website in terms of an upgrade to my existing P3.30 bios.

So what gives? I'm also a bit surprised that nowhere on the asrock-bios-update webpage do I see what the current version is for my mobo? It's an "X99 WS"

I only see the beta bios for X99 Extreme 11 (3.41), and X99 Taichi (1.82)

Yes, I'm guilty of still having a Haswell cpu from 2014, and I'm running 2X 2080 Ti's on that system for rendering. Works great. But does this mean I have to stay on Version 1909 for Windows 10? Really?

Please advise, thx.

	Well, this is embarrassing. The asrock link here: http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=BIOS does not show anything for the X99 WS. The asrock link here: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20WS/ when you click on support and then you click on BIOS shows this: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20WS/#BIOS I guess my problem is partially solved already because (I got luck and clicke don a few more links) I can see an update to bios 3.50
