I have a quite good computer hand built for me in late 2023, as it not from a regular manufacture an outside IT company that built it recently updated its firmware in bios , however as another update may become available an update before secure boot patches are updated by MSFT do I need to look for said another firmware update later or will the MSFT patch search my hand built non brand computer and update as needed.
I once read Firmware updates to an OEM need to be done before MSFT patch Via 3 AI programs but don't know if that's true - please detail & thanks in advance

Hi ,
Did you manage to solve the problem?
Thanks
Hi ,
Well, in the case of a pre-built PC, updates can be detected from the motherboard via Windows Update, but not all PCs have this feature yet, except for OEM PCs.
If it's a pre-built PC, you can check the motherboard model in msinfo32.exe and access the manufacturer's website to download the latest BIOS and firmware.
If you'd like, take a screenshot and post it here so I can check.
Thanks
For some reason all think its a pre built pc, This is an expensive pc that an IT company hand built for me in Dec 2023 ,using parts that have great reviews and work well together , so its not a prebuilt hp or dell, or surface etc. Its a gorgeous custom Desktop built by PcPros Onsite a local company https://pcprosonsite.com/ that does whatever is needed to repair a PC or build one etc and if u check the link u can see all they do.
They updated the firmware ( as DaveM121 said here is any avaialble BIOS update for your system, it is advisable to install that. ) in the ASUS motherboard using the bios and BitLocker recovery keys, I hope I am explaining it right as I am not TECH fluent that's why I rely on them,.This was just earlier this Sept A Lawyer and Drs I know use them and recommended them,
I imagine they can always check to see if if any new firmware becomes available before the certificates expire based on things they know.
As of right now I imagine I am good to go pending when MSFT comes out with the certificate patches
===============================================================
Thank you for the help. I thought I accepted the answer that all is good to go
I am sorry do to personal issues I am not sure of what type of screenshot u are asking about and if I did I am sure its of something in the bios or whatever can be brought up on my LCD screen from inside the computer settings I again I am not fluent tech wise to do such
PS I am fine as is & will have IT here in few days just to ask some other ?s, Whatever they did they dropped the internal 2 TB crucial hard drive temp from a safe 52 degrees to 43 degrees . after 2 years of use the hard drive based on crystal disc is still at 99% capacity using the computer 12hrs daily at times
Hi ,
I understand, what you meant by the question is how this comes from Microsoft's line, and how the company in question creates a line of drivers for sending DCH in Windows systems, whether drivers or BIOS, as I mentioned previously.
Regarding the PC, as I checked on the website, they provide custom PC services, but they use parts from other manufacturers, not considering their own brand. Now, depending on the motherboard model, you may need to update the firmware and BIOS through Windows Update.
In this case, I'd say access msinfo32.exe in the search bar and take a screenshot to see your motherboard model. I'll see if there's an update available and post the link here.
Thanks
I don't know exactly what my IT people did but they checked the motherboard model they installed, and found new firmware and updated it in the bios setting so thats taken care of within the last 2 weeks, thanks
