System Firmware 0.1.24.0 update

How come Windows update has this update Firmware 0.1.24.0 but Dell does not. But it is also a UEFI update. I was wondering if this Firmware comes in a .exe format. Cuz I know nothing about binary code.

Thanks

    You did not post the exact model number of your system and is needed for any diagnostic help.

    I am not a Dell employee...I am forum volunteer

    Serious work on an E5430 and constantly building and working on an i5-6500 Desktop

    I'm sorry about that, I'm still trying to figure out the search box and keywords. Well this my model Latitude 5480/5488. Intel Core i5-6200U Processor 3M Cache, up to 2.80 GHz. Thank you

    I'm faced with the same issue. I maintain the BIOS update process at my workplace and although I've seen a bunch of recent updates for newer models, I didn't see one for the Latitude 5x80 models we have. But now when I look at Windows Updates for optional components, I see 1.24 show up in there.

    Adding to the mystery, we have one 5480 that has that new version, so the user must have downloaded/installed it on their own? Which would be strange since we have BIOS passwords that would be required, and Bitlocker enabled which makes things trickier.

    I wish Dell would clarify how and why Microsoft is offering a BIOS update that Dell themselves does not.
