Dell g3 3579 bios 1.12.0 downgrade

I want to downgrade my bios from 1.12 to 1.11 because after updating bios to 1.12 , processor on my laptop(i5 8300H) is overheating. Does anyone know how to do this? Downgrading bios is blocked after bios 1.12 update.

    Same happens here,

    Throttlestop stopped work, really high CPU temperatures and the dell utility to downgrade is just broken, keep me on the version 1.12.0

    I tried to downgrade the bios from 1.12.0 but it wouldn't let me as certain changes made with the 1.12.0 cannot go back.  I was having issues where the keyboard wasn't working and the battery wasn't charging.

    I downloaded the 1.12.0 bios update from Dell, put it on a USB pendrive (Fat32), booted with F12 key, selected Bios upgrade, selected file on USB, clicked on Option and typed in /forceit, pressed enter which then allowed me to reflash the 1.12.0 update and once finished, the laptop is working correctly again.

    Come on Dell. how hard would it have been to suggest those steps.
