Insyde Software - Firmware - 5.46.1.26 Update which slowed my laptop

Hi guys.

Me and also my friend have a Acer Nitro V 15 for some time already. Was nice till yesterday. My collegue called me yesterday to NOT install Win11 update for Insyde Software - Firmware - BIOS update, cause afterwards he couldnt turn on his computer. Constant Blue Screen. So I didnt. But my very cleaver laptop did it for itself during the night. I woke up cause of fan working at max speed so I already knew whats going on. BIOS update installed, laptop wont start, Blue Screen. After fighting with it for couple hours, turned out we have to turn off in BIOS the option Intel VMD. Done. It turned on once again… But since then the laptop is working soo slow.. Not enough FPS, works like ****.. I cant Uninstall that update via Windows update. What to do? My collegue formated already hes conputer but I dont want to do this after some crappy updates.

No need to reinstall Windows just restore the system till before the update, type Create a restore point and click on "System Restore" with a date. If you have System Protection disabled in Windows this won't work, in that case use the reinstall option in Recovery (red arrow).

This is the System Restore screen:

A recent Insyde Software firmware update, specifically version 5.46.1.26, may have caused a noticeable slowdown in your laptop's performance. While firmware updates are generally intended to improve performance and stability, they can sometimes introduce unintended consequences. Here's a breakdown of potential issues and how to address them:-

Understanding the Problem:
Firmware Updates and Performance:
Firmware updates, like the Insyde one, can sometimes inadvertently affect system performance due to conflicts or misconfigurations.
Potential Impact:
The update might have introduced a bug that slows down your laptop, possibly affecting boot times, application loading, or overall responsiveness.
Troubleshooting Steps:

Check for Alternatives:
Contact Manufacturer: If you suspect the update is problematic, contact your laptop manufacturer for guidance and potential rollback instructions. They may have a more detailed understanding of the specific impact of the update on your model.
Reverting to the Previous Firmware:
Manufacturer Support: The manufacturer may provide instructions or tools to revert to the previous Insyde firmware version.
General Troubleshooting:
Run System Checks: Use your laptop's built-in diagnostic tools to check for any hardware issues that might have been triggered by the update.
Check for Updates: Ensure your laptop's operating system and other software are up-to-date. Sometimes, updates can resolve conflicts with older software.
Contact Insyde Software:
Support: Reach out to Insyde Software directly through their official channels. They may offer specific advice or tools to address performance issues.
Important Considerations:
BIOS/UEFI Issues:
If the problem persists after the above steps, it's possible that the update corrupted the BIOS/UEFI, requiring specialized repair tools from your laptop manufacturer.
Hardware Conflicts:
In rare cases, the update might have introduced conflicts with other hardware components, requiring further investigation and potential replacements.
