HI Alex,

HP is working in publishing HP BIOS to LVFS and the team is making progress.  
There are several BIOS published and it appears BIOS for your Elite Dragonfly is one of them.   
See https://fwupd.org/lvfs/firmware/10948.

The BIOS is applicable to notebooks with T90 type BIOS.  If you decide to try flashing the firmware, please do it at your own risk.

BIOS-System Firmware (1)
HP BIOS and System Firmware (T90)
Version: 01.09.10 Rev.A	



Regards,

That worked a treat. Thanks!

And if you have an internal ticked called "Support Elitebooks on LVFS"
or similar, feel free to add my +1 to it 😉

Best,
