    Hi Guys i've a Sumsung np530u4C and i ran win 10 it was running perfectly but yeah i got a notification for updating my bios then baam i cliced it the bios update was successful but when i try to boot it gives me this message ' all boot options are tried. press f4 key to recover with factory image ' tho everything is fine with my HDD n also the os is fine
    so i though about downgrading my Current bios P13ABH to P12ABH but i couldn't find the file for P12ABH
    Any idea of how to solve this problem or even where to find my old bios ?

    Before doing so go to bios and check your boot priorities as they could have changed.

    if you have the ISO burnt try booting from that and repairing boot options, not too sure why it just disappeared unless the entire partition got damaged.

    My ultrabook model is 540U3C-A01TH.

    I'm using Windows 10. The Samsung update software notifies me to update the BIOS to P13ABH.

    Now I have the same problem as this topic.
    I'm able to boot from USB with MBR and GPT.

    John Ratsey suggestion doesn't work for me.

    However, I had also installed UEFI GRUB, but the BIOS doesn't recognize both of Windows bootloader and GRUB.

    The startup repair doesn't work too.
    Now I'm trying to install new Win10.

    The problem too is W10 does not like a new bios version, it thinks the hardware is different and it may be it is then damaging the bootrec. This could be wrong but it is reported W10 will no like a bios change and force you to do the upgrade all over again after installing the old OS.
