    Hi everyone,

    Its been a while. I have a Dell XPS 9343.. On the product driver download page over at Dell, when I do an automatic driver detection, it shows on available update - for the BIOS (A09, dated August 30, 2016).

    The issue is: I have already updated to the latest BIOS and my system does show A09 installed (as seen with msinfo32). But the driver download page at Dell shows the BIOS version as "A10" though the file name of the BIOS update reads 9343A09.exe.

    Has anyone updated their BIOS and if yes, what is the latest BIOS that they have / got? Why do I keep getting "one update available" and the BIOS update still keeps showing up?

    Ps., I did go ahead and download the file from the Dell Driver update page and it still updates the BIOS to only the A09 version.. and when I do a automatic driver detection, I keep seeing the 1 driver update available message (for the BIOS).

    Thanks for any info/insights on the latest available BIOS for the XPS 9343 and how to install it.

    For my 9343 on the Dell UK site, it only shows me the A07 BIOS from November last year..! Did Dell pull the new BIOSes..?
