Windows 11 not allowing bios update was: (Windows journal of attempted .exe file execution?)

Cannot seem to update bios from A09 to A13 on Inspiron 660s.. Do you think Win11 is holding up the process? Process displays a 'successful' message though. After powercycle + bios entry, no joy. Going to reread and look more deeply into suggestions on viewing output.. as bios installer executes....
