If you have an MSI puter that you upgraded to Windows 11, you probably noticed an annoying little error. Every time you boot up, you got a popup window that states:

Obviously, the problem has something to do with the built-in Dragon Center software trying to do a BIOS update check – and failing.
Not to worry – the fix is pretty simple!

But no! I just sits there and tries to install the corrupted update packages again, and again, and again.
There is a very simple fix for this problem, and you don’t have download anything, or edit the registry, or perform any other gymnastics!
