	Please go to the BIOS d/l page for your board and once there you will notice the teal EFI SHELL, click on it and you will be presented with instructions on now using the EFI Shell to update the BIOS

	I just now noticed this is an AM4 board.... I don't have one yet to check for myself. That is very odd, it is always under tools. Looking at your user manual it is listed under tools too It looks like you may have gotten a pre-production BIOS. I usually advise against the windows flash tools but it looks like that may be your only option One would hope the updated UEFI will restore the instant flash tool to it's correct location in the UEFI.

	I have the brand new asrock fatal1ty x370 gaming professional board, and it shipped with bios version P1.20 and the latest is P1.40, and I can't seem to figure out how to flash it? There is no instant flash at startup menu, just del to enter uefi or f11 to select boot menu. Any suggestions? I tried following the convoluted directions to download the bios file and a flashing file from the efi shell, but that didn't work for me. it can't seem to find any files on the flash drive when I select it through the blkF: choice it shows as USB on the screen of drives..... Any help here?
