......After I did that write command I have only put my computer to sleep. I am a bit nervous to shut it down lol.

Why? You didn't write anything, just read the firmware and wrote it into a new file, that doesn't hurt.

Regarding temp folder: Dell unpacks the update package there while the program is running and deletes the files after the program is finished, so you have to search this place while the program waits for input. If you close it again, the files will be deleted again.


As far as I can see you never flashed somthing into your firmware. I *think*that this update trial did reset your 'CMOS' so that the system tried to boot legacy, no more than that. Question is how to restore the machine specific data, but that's not a problem, there are just different ways.


Did you allow any system updater to work on your system? Did you install any program that could execute updates without asking? This update process looks very much like Windows update trying to install a (wrong) bios update which happily didn't work at least regarding the firmware.There should/could be a bios setting for disabling bios update through Windows.


Now I'm personally interested a little how MS is doing this and in addition how to remove this update package again- remember, that's just a file sitting somwhere, it's not in your own firmware!

- Could you have a look into your windows directory if there's a folder 'Firmware\{7039436b-6acf-433b-86a1-368ec2ef7e1f}'

- Could you search your registry for the expression FirmwareFilename

- Could you search your registry for the GUID 7039436b-6acf-433b-86a1-368ec2ef7e1f
