Freeze Dell XPS 9570 BIOS updates?

Anyway to prevent my XPS 9570 to automatically updating BIOS? I like 1.6 for the color reproduction and last time I opened Dell update it went to newest and I had to downgrade back. I would like to keep everything else updated but the BIOS. Is there a way to lock it into bios 1.6 forever?

 

1) Turn off Firmware Capsule Updates in the BIOS
2) Uninstall Dell Update

 

Just that simple? Awesome thank you!!

 

Yes sir, disabling Firmware Capsule updates prevents BIOS updates through Windows Update and Uninstalling Dell Update will take care of it not nagging you to install the BIOS update.

Good luck.

 

And then just update whatever I want through dell's website for new drivers?

 

Exactly!

 

Awesome thanks for your help!

 

You're most welcome. Feel free to ask if you have any other concerns. I had an XPS 15 9570 and an XPS 15 7590 recently so I know them pretty well.

 

Will do, went to Alienware I see?

 

Yes man, I liked the XPS 15 7590 a lot and man it had one of the best screens I've looked at in terms of crispness and brightness (Had the Sharp 4K Touch screen) but it had the 9980HK CPU which the laptop struggled big time to cool down. Throw any serious workload at it and it immediately goes to 99C then thermal throttles to 2.7 GHz even with a -125mV undervolt. I also tried the Alienware m15 R2 at the shop, same exact story. I then came to a conclusion that you can't have one of these high end CPUs in such a small chassis and thus had to go with the Alienware Area-51m

 

Yeah I tried a Dell G3 or G5 can't remember and build quality and screen were terrible. Then I moved to a Alienware 15 R4 they had a really good sale on and build was pretty nice but screen was meh. I ultimately ended up with a decent deal for the time on this 9570 when Dell had a big flash sale. Yeah I just got the 8750H because I had heard the chassis not being able to handle the 9980HK and also I do not need that kind of power. The screen is the main reason I got it! The 4k izgo Sharp touch screen is great, crisp, bright colors and can configure everything to my liking!

Glad you found one you like I have heard good things also about the Area 51m. Thought about trying a newer Alienware but still no need for that power and couldn't find any good screens.

Also got disabled in BIOS and uninstalled Dell update! Staying on BIOS update 1.5 even farther back then I thought!!! LOL so much better then the current though imo! Thanks again I will hit you up for more support in the future I am sure!
