Seriously tho, if you want it to be gone for good then yep, disassembly is the only sure fire way to get it and the loop clean. If you only want it to look good for a minute trying one of the many...
I hate to say that is par for the course with MSI, they can be very slow at releasing timely bios updates. It can be aggravatingly slow. Fingers crossed for you.
I've got 4 MSI MBs currently in use that I've either updated to the last available bios , a z390 G Pro Carbon . Or am on the latest bios, z790, z790 D4 and z690 (all Tomahawks). Haven't had any issues with them when updating. Like Starfalcon said, trying to update the bios through Windows is...
