I tried using ASRocks Live Update & APP Shop to check for newer versions of, first and foremost, my motherboard's BIOS. It's the AB350M Pro 4. My BIOS version before I upgraded this morning was version P4.70. The "APP Shop" software showed no updates for ANYTHING and still works this way. See the image:  I checked for a newer BIOS for my motherboard on ASRocks website/webpages and I did find that a more recent version of my BIOS was available. So, I upgraded my BIOS to version P4.90 just today. Plus, the "APP Shop" software doesn't even show the current installed versions of anything like it used to. This software is getting worse and not better. Please fix the bugs in this software. It's not working as it should be. Thanks for reading!

**EDIT**: I stand corrected. "Server 4" does seem to be actually working. Still, no showing of the current versions of all my software.
Also, I can't see the need for a server at all to show me the "current" version of all my "ASRock" related installed software. The software is installed locally. The current version information should be local.

" rel="nofollow - I did update the BIOS from within the P4.70 BIOS itself. The ASRock "Live Update and APP Shop" are really simply a notification system to let the user know that newer versions of their software are available and offer the user the option to download them. However, since you gave the advice, the question I would ask of you is, what you are warning against even possible? I haven't seen the way to flash the BIOS inside a fully booted Windows 10 system on this motherboard. But, still, its possible I guess with another software download. ------------- System: AMD 2200G, ASRock AB350M Pro4, 16GB(2x8GB) 3000MHz Patriot Vipers (running @ 2134MHz *crying*). |

yes despite everyone here on this very forum warning so asrock keep publishing bios versions for windows based flashing as well as dos version and the direct instant flash bios version the trouble being data corruption from other process while re-writing the bios chip if you want safe use bios based flash or dos based flash further more always reset bios to default and reboot check again then flash brian (chew) who does a lot of work with amd and asrock even goes to the act of removing all but 1 stick of ram to reduce the risk of bios flashing corruption of course the bios issues with ryzen (eg needing often flashing) has brought about the more common feature of usb bios flashback being added to boards now (you can flash without any ram or cpu) i honestly expected more x470 boards to have this added , msi do actually do this on a b450 board now ........or gigabytes own idea to have dual bios chips ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |
