Despite installing the updates from softpaq [and manually installing/flashing the BIOS which was marked Critical] and them saying installed [or unknown in some cases] - restart - open softpaq and again...they say "Not Installed" [same ones I just installed and the BIOS update - which I didnt even need becauase it told me [you already have this BIOS do you want to do it anyway?] and when I go to reinstall [I guess...] the softpaq downloads - they all tell me "You already have a newer version on this computer"
So why in gods name is it still saying their not installed?? How can I fix this? How do I know that when the newer updates come out that it won't erroneously think I still need to install the older ones before the new ones [thus leaving me unable to update]
What's going on? [and just a little constructive criticism - You can buy a 200 dollar laptop at best buy and have the geek squad update everything and get rid of all the bloatware before you leave the store for nothing.
You'd think a close to 3000 dollar Workstation [ones NASA use or are updating on the ISS! I know mines the base model but still] would come with the newest drivers/updates/bios installed... just doesn't make a lick of sense to me. To each his own. Wouldn't be an issue if Softpaq worked the way its supposed to unless I'm missing something...
I need to figure this out. Anyhelp would be MUCH appreciated.
Thank you,
