    Samsung never publish a change log for their BIOS updates.

    I would assume that the change is to improve compatibility with Windows 10.

    Thanks John.

    I'm on Windows 10 and wondering if I should update. I guess I'll bite the bullet and do!

    I recommend that you use the stand-alone BIOS update program as described here to reduce the risk of the update being tripped up by other software.

    @john
    I did this but Bios update (via the BiosUpdate.exe) is stuck in between. Keyboard & mouse not responding.
    Power button isn't helping me to switch off.
    This model has no removable battery.

    How can I revert back to old state?

    Help please?

    I didn't had that trouble as it was not "blocked" for me. The bios update command prompt came and started flashing and got stuck somewhere in the middle. Nothing was accessible and I followed the procedure to short the battery. That was the only way .

    Thanks
