The weirdest think happened when updating the bios on this motherboard as per the title thread. 7B85v1F bios is the official latest for this board, that's all good & fine but this is the first time I've ever updated a bios on a motherboard & the system refuses to let the user into the bios whilst pressing "Delete" key during POST. After seeing the keyboard numlock LED on, pressing the delete key does nothing whatsoever & the motherboard manual indicates this is the right key to press for access to bios options, that has always worked no problems with previous bios versions for this board.
To add insult to injury, the monitor LED went into sleep mode indicating no signal from the GPU card. This is new, has my card suddenly died? No.
If I don't press any buttons the system loads the windows login screen OK. So obviously the GPU card is fine... apart from that now the end user has to muck around & change their security credentials cause of firmware updates from new bios before going any further with logging in. It's nice that Microsoft are on the ball with forcing the end user to change their password/pin to get back into their account.

Is my keyboard faulty? No. Another keyboard is now plugged in with a known working one, still the same problem persists...
At this stage I'm thinking MSI have done a BIG boo boo with this bios update & a bug with the delete key to let end users into their system to configure it.
So, this post is a warning to other MSI users of as far as I know at this stage, this particular motherboard model! beware when updating to this latest bios version.
In a way, lucky I have another AM4 board here (X570) to setup if this is a bug that won't get fixed, not that I'm cynical but until an avalanche of end users complaining about it to MSI support, then I suppose nothing will be done to fix this most annoying problem.
In the meantime I'm stuck with the system using default bios options & that means 2133MHz ram speed...
