Příčina

Dell Engineering found that DCU waits for an exit code from the BIOS update. Which then prompts and waits for the password to be supplied. However, when a BIOS administrator password is configured for the computer, and the password is not set in the DCU application. Then the password is never supplied and the update hangs.

Note: The software is working as designed.
 

This application is working as expected, and this is covered in the user guide. As you can see from the Note box excerpt that I have included below:

Note: If the System Password is configured in the BIOS, the same password is required to perform the BIOS updates.
 

To resolve this, simply ensure that if a BIOS administrator password is set on your personal computer. Ensure that the same password is entered into the DCU as well.
