JUNE BIOS update prevented by Windows 11 then Explorer freezes 


Don't Run is the option provided

This update suggests that it will Improve system stability


Before I install I thought I would see if ACER CARE CENTRE would notify me of the update, but that has acquired the infamous  "Still Initializing" pop-up (in American even though my system is fully UK)

    I rebooted, and used care centre to see if it noticed there is an update, but as usual it did not.

    To get past the warning Click more info, and then another button shows allowing to run anyway. 

    It is best to temporarily disable antivirus software.


    The update worked and was completed.

    Yes, Microsoft sets the default for Defender SmartScreen to block anything it doesn't recognize, so things like a BIOS upgrade will always require manual intervention like you did in order to run. It's not an issue if you know to click the More Info link, but most people won't be able to figure that out.

    Yes it did.  But since ACER Care can not even TRIM an SSD, it does not surprise me that there software even scares or is not trusted by windows 11

    Or anything it does not have trust with.  
    BIOS updates on my previous computer managed it without clashing.

    The manual intervention is surely after the main interface has loaded, and then when clicking apply etc. 

    I've been using computers since Windows 3.11 and earlier 1993.   Then windows 95, 98, 2000, ME etc

    My guess is you likely don't have Defender SmartScreen turned on. Most savvy users don't want to have to jump through hoops anytime they want to install something where the developers haven't paid Microsoft to get the certification needed to install without the hassle.

    Yes, it was on, along with whichever AntiVirus was installed in production.  
    I know with them off it would be more likely no warning. 
    Indeed. and yes that sounds about right.  

    My experience has made me wary of Larger China companies.  On ebay I could expect low quality, but ACER retail I hoped would be different.
