Hi, I have a question about updating the BIOS on a Gateway DX4850 machine with Windows 10 operating system installed. The installer here > https://www.acer.com/us-en/support/product-support/DX4850
All I see there is the Acer-Updater app listed (may be my browser settings) Generally bios updates are distributed in a .zip bundle that requires you unzip and extract the bios and installer. Presuming you have done that and have attempted running the installer, the only thing I can think of is that Win10 itself is preventing the bios updater from running if the installer isn't signed by Microsoft or is signed with a key that has expired. If that is what you are facing, you should be able to enable "Developer Mode" and then run the installer without windows complaining. Also make sure however you are starting it has been "run as administrator". Those are the only windows guesses I have... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
