Block automatic BIOS update?

Hi everyone,

I own an GX701GXR and I want to stay on BIOS 306 because here I can undervolt my CPU. Unfortunately Windows will Update the BIOS every time I reboot.

I have tried the option in the attached screenshot but this doesn't help. Someone has an idea how I can prevent my device from auto BIOS updating?

 

Check on the BIOS if there isn't some option called something like Allow BIOS Capsule module, or allow BIOS update.

 

Unfortunately I don't have this option in BIOS. I know that such an option exists on Alienware notebooks.

 

Push

 

block the permission of all accounts to access Windows\Firmware folder. works for me, model GX701
[v2004] folder changed to \Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\gx701xxx_30x.xxxxx

 

Do you have a password on your BIOS?

Researching a related problem I saw that Windows cannot change a BIOS if it has a password, since it does not have the required permissions.
Whether that is so with every BIOS I do not know.

 

I did the following to stop this (on a zephyrus s laptop)

1. Install older bios on the laptop (307), new one was 310
2. Disable the driver updates like you did
3. Enter the "Device manager" in the "Control panel"

3.1 Find "Firmware" -> "System Firmware"
3.2 On the "Driver" tab, there is a button "Roll back driver", this will remove the updated "bios" driver and won't trigger the automatic update
​

 

If you have Pro version you can turn off hardware drivers in gpedit

Download this registry file, unzip it, then double click on Disable Driver Updates.reg to merge it with your registry then reboot

You can also download the Windows update hide/show tool so you can leave driver updates ON if you wish but selectively hide updates so they won't appear in the future.

 

Can somebody send me the oldest BIOS for the zephyrus gx701gxr with the undervolting options??? I'm so frustrated my cpu is reaching 98º under full load and still has warranty so I don't want to change thermal paste yet. Please help ((

To block the automatic bios update, you can hide the update with the tool that I've attached to this message.
Bye!

 

WOAAAAAAA!!! Thank you very much! Is it necessary to format windows after downgrading, should I backup everything?

 

No need for format just installed using EZ utility from bios. I cannot believe it's working! I could adjust the voltage to -110mV in throttlestop and now it's freezing! Thank you very much you save this laptop from melting down

 

Thanks so much man i spent hours looking, should have come her first!

 

please can you share it again?? the file has expired and I'm installing one that I had that I thought it was the one you shared but nope is the 307... it was working good until I accidentally allowed the windows update that also updated the bios... omg now is 75ºC in idle

thank you very much for the bios file, but i don't have option to hide an update to 310. I downgraded bios to 306, windows starts and 2sec later i've got massage to restart my machine because update is rolling. I tried your app (there is no update on list) i tried also to rollback driver from device manager but it wont work also.
pls any tips?

 

I used the bios above but was unable to flash it from EZFlash on my current BIOS (v308). The error message says the file is not a valid BIOS (
What am I missing?

Funny because even if I try to upgrade it to the latest version through EZFlash, it won't let me for the same reason.
