Hey everyone! I'm having a hard time trying to update the BIOS on my ASUS B-760M A D4 motherboard. I've got an i7 13700k running on microcode 0x12b and BIOS version 1805. I noticed new updates available, but I ran into some issues when trying to perform the update with two different USB drives formatted as FAT32.
First, even when I set the USBs as the primary boot device, my PC still restarts into Windows instead of booting from the USB. When I try to select the USB directly from the BIOS, it briefly shows a black screen before going back to the BIOS boot menu.
Second, I read about the ASUS EZ Flash tool for BIOS updates, but I can't find it in my BIOS menu—neither in advanced mode nor anywhere else. Did I miss something or is my BIOS version malfunctioning? MyASUS app isn't helping me either with the update.

It sounds like you might need to access the Advanced Mode in the UEFI setup to find the EZ Flash utility. Here’s how to do it:
1. Stick the USB with the BIOS file into a USB port.
2. Boot into the Advanced Mode of your BIOS.
3. Look for the Tool menu where you can select ASUS EZ Flash 3 Utility.
4. Use the arrow keys to navigate to your USB drive that has the BIOS file, and then select it.
5. Choose your BIOS file and follow the prompts to update. Just make sure to reboot afterward!
I checked already but it's not there at all, even in Advanced Mode. It’s weird!
