    Gigabyte z790 UD AC mb. Yes, I have flashed bios with previous version and activation is still broken. Fortunately for me I created a disk image a few weeks earlier that I retored system with and activation was then fixed. Will wait before updating bios adain until this stupid bug is fixed. MS could easily fix this for all of us with KB update. Don't know what they're waiting for?

    It finally seems real!!!

    Just updated BIOS of MSI Z690-A PRO DDR4 motherboard, driven by an Intel i5-12600 CPU, from version 7D25v1E to 7D25v1F and it worked flawlessy without any Windows 11 issue. Now it doesn't even request to re-create a login PIN (Windows Hello) anymore.

    Great job Microsoft ... even if too late because meanwhile I bought another Windows 11 PRO license (now useless) 😒
