    BIOS Update and reset BIOS settings


    Yesterday I updated my BIOS and everything is working fine. Now do I need to reset the BIOS settings or I leave it as it is? I read somewhere that it's good to reset the bios settings after you do a BIOS update . What should I do, thanks.

    You Should check the bios after an update to see if "your" settings are the same.
    Unless there is some instability in your system , I would leave it as is.
    Default is is mainly for starting fresh and tweaking your system, or for debugging problems.

    Ok Sir, I leave everything as it is than because I haven't encountered any problems. Thanks for the reply :)

    Most makers say you must clear the CMOS after an update as if there are any new settings they won't load until it's reset so check what makers say

    I always load the BIOS defaults, reboot then insert my preferred settings
