This is a new build and as the title says, I cannot update my gigabyte aorus z790 master bios. I am pressing del or F12 to get to the bios screen after boot up with my usb plugged in that has the current F15 bios update. For some reason the bios Q-flash doesn’t acknowledge the usb or extracted files on it. Currently the mb has bios F13. Intel i9 14900ks, gigabyte aorus z790 master, Nvidia 4070 super, Corsair 64gb ram, any help would be appreciated

Have you verified that the USB drive is set up with FAT32 format? It’s necessary.

It’s exFAT, so you can’t use FAT32. A newer 1TB Sandisk requires at least 32GB to work properly with FAT32.

It’s best to choose a 32GB or smaller flash storage. You can use any inexpensive USB flash drive. I still rely on a 16GB drive from 2007 for BIOS updates. For future BIOS upgrades, you’ll need a USB drive compatible with your system. You can create a FAT32 partition on a larger 1TB USB stick, but that adds extra effort. The main problem is ensuring the USB supports FAT32, and using one will resolve the issue.

The setup completed successfully, but after a short break Windows 11 Pro didn't display the home screen—it only showed the welcome background image. Someone could assist in diagnosing any Windows 11 problems.
