    In what way does your disabling Fast Startup relate to selectively installing b firmware?

    "

    The best thing that has happened since then is (being a Scapegoat :lol:) all the updates that have been offered have installed successfully in the first try itself (previously, they used to fail and I had to manually install them).

    "

    That's what I have experienced with G3-572 and now with PH315-54. I disabled it right after getting it and since then, none of the updates have failed for me.

    Trying to do my best here - Your happy Predator owner =)!

    This is one of the main reasons why I permanently disabled mine from day one. I’ve always advised others to avoid updating anything unless it’s necessary to fix a specific issue. If your system is running smoothly, there’s no need to risk breaking something by applying updates just for the sake of it.

    That’s also why I made this a separate post! Hopefully, someone pins it soon, because it’s genuinely sad to see how often people end up bricking their systems and losing all their data just by trying to get things working again. A bit of caution can save a lot of frustration.
