I have an E5-575 laptop and my monitors sometimes won't wake after the laptop shuts them off. I have spent two days with Micosoft and they suggest updating BIOs, something I haven't done before. I'm on BIOS - Insyde Corp. V1.04, 4/26/2016. Looks like there is a version 1.25. Can I just update from 1.04 to 1.25? I'm a little hesitant so I want to be sure. Looks like it is straight forward:
How to update the BIOS:
Click "ZAA_125.exe" under Winodows mode
BUT, What is meant by Windows mode?
Best regards,
