My brother did a BIOS update on his Triton 17 x and now he's seeing a message that says "Updates are underway. Do not turn off." The screen goes into sleep mode sometimes, and I'm worried if that could be a problem. Is it safe to leave it like this?

It could take a while, sometimes even an hour or more. From what you described, it sounds more like a Windows update than a BIOS one. If it's truly been over an hour, you might want to try holding the power button until it shuts off, but I'd recommend waiting at least two hours first if it's a BIOS update. Otherwise, you might be dealing with a bigger headache later!

Yeah, it definitely looked different from the BIOS update screen I saw before. This looks more like a Windows thing.

Definitely leave it alone! If you interrupt a BIOS update, it can lead to serious issues with the computer. Just let it run its course; it's better than risking failure.
