Yay, another BIOS update!

I am getting so sick of all these BIOS updates because of all these security vulnerabilities all the time. It is so tiring having to set up my settings all over again all of the time. Earlier this year, or maybe it was last year, it felt like every month or two there was a new BIOS update for a new security vulnerability.

Back your settings up and restore them then.

Depending on your BIOS and/or motherboard, you can't restore them between versions. The point of clearing the BIOS settings after flashing a new version is to ensure that you only have values that are expected, which is why restoring backups can often be blocked between versions.

I learned this the hard way when I lost all my fan profiles

Thankfully that's one thing that can be restored between BIOS versions for my motherboard lol
