2. Find Asus Smart Gesture, and open it.
3. Click Set all to default.
4. Restart your computer.

There’s a chance you’re not able to update because something’s wrong with Asus Smart Gesture settings. So, we’re going to reset the settings and try to install updates once again.

6. Load BIOS Defaults

Now, let’s move on to BIOS-related solutions. Although it’s not quite often the case, your BIOS settings may actually block certain updates from installing.

So, the first thing we’re going to do now is load BIOS defaults. Since this process isn’t identical on all computers, I can’t exactly tell you how exactly how to perform it.

All in all, the point is to enter BIOS (probably by pressing DEL on the boot) and go to the option for loading BIOS defaults.

If you don’t know how to do this, google your motherboard for a more detailed explanation or check the link below.

If Windows skips BIOS, take a look at this useful guide to solve the problem quickly.

We have additional guides on what to do if Windows skips BIOS and how to access the BIOS.

7. Update BIOS

If resetting your BIOS settings didn’t get the job done, we’ll try a more serious measure – updating your BIOS. There’s a good chance you’ve never done this in your life before.

And that’s fine, updating BIOS isn’t something you do every day. And it should be like that. Because updating BIOS is quite risky.

One mistake can render your BIOS, and therefore your computer useless. So, you should really approach the whole process with extra care.

8. Reset Windows

If none of the solutions from above managed to solve the problem, the only thing left to do is reset your Windows operating system.

There are multiple ways to reset Windows 10, but if you’re not sure how to perform any, everything is explained in the link below.
