GA-H170-D3H GigaByte releases F22 BIOS but not usable?!

[zme-ul]

today I checked if my mobo has any BIOS updates, found the F22 was released roughly a week ago http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H170-D3H-rev-10#support-dl

downloaded the archive, extracted the file to a FAT32 USB drive and went to QFlash to update the BIOS ... QFlash sais it can't read the file ?!?!?!! tried couple of USB thumb drives, all FAT32 formatted; redownloaded the archive from different servers

went back in Windows, fired up @BIOS utility and checked each server for the latest BIOS file - it still sais F21 is latest
so, what gives?!

Did you check TweakTown they have F21a and not F22. I don't know if F21a is the same as F22. Plus it does show F22 on Gigabyte too. You having problems or just want update the bios?

just wanted to update BIOS

anyways, I finally managed to but the way I did it makes no sense at all
I practically tried multiple times in QFlash, it showed error, I presses ENTER and tried again and about 4rd time it read the god damn file ........ what!? 
something is really off with QFlash

The thing about updating the bios. Is that every time you do. You are taking a 50/50 chance that something will go wrong. This is up each and how they update a computer. I don't update any thing unless I having a problem.

As I say "If it isn't broke don't fix it".

I like f***ing things up, that's why I work (sort of) in the tech industry

"if it ain't broke don't fix it" is for the people at home not for us who have to fix the s*** other people brake - and this one situation I haven't encountered before
it shows a design flaw in QFlash that should be addressed

I don't usually update BIOSes, but that description for this BIOS release made me wonder - "improved stability"

Ok you are right. I have only been doing this for 35 yrs. So there is a difference between a home computer and the one you use as a industry computer, a computer is a computer.
