NUC11PAHi5 BIOS issue

tstob1 · ‎03-22-2022

Ever since I updated to BIOS 0042 nothing but problems.

I noticed that the BIOS has been pulled also.

I have set the PC to never sleep, if I go away for a couple hours the monitor is black and PC is offline. I can not see it remotely.

should I be seeing Device Firmware multiple times in Device Manager?

Also, the NUC Software Studio Service installs but doesn't show up in the Apps list or in the tray. only way to uninstall is run the install. I have removed and installed twice and nothing.

Basically, it just freezes after a while. goes offline also. only way to get Windows back is to hold the power button in and hard reboot.

I was just thinking, even *if* I can get at those NUCs, I would be installing BIOS 0042 over 0043? I didn't think this was possible due to security updates?

I am out of the state now and will not have direct access to the NUC.

Is this normal to see multiple device firmware listed like this? I was hoping someone could confirm.

I actually installed 2 for friends and both and having many issues with boot and freezing.

I figured it was safe to put he latest BIOS since is was dated several months ago.

Hoping Intel releases a new one soon.

Thank you

No, once you install BIOS 43, you cannot downgrade. You will need to wait for Intel to deliver a BIOS 44 that you can install over BIOS 43.

I know that they are working feverishly to get this fixed. It will still take a few days for them to reproduce, analyze, fix and validate a replacement BIOS. Until then, we wait...

Right. they are telling me to download BIOS 0042 and install with the recovery process.

waiting on BIOS 0044, hope soon.

Release Notes says you cannot downgrade to 42. Not sure why ICS rep. suggested to try.

Can anyone please tell me if my screenshot of multiple Device Firmware is normal?

Hello tstob1,

It seems I placed the incorrect link, my apologies. I was suggesting a BIOS Recovery of the latest version 0043, however, it is true that we are working on BIOS version 0044. There is no release date yet.
