I did try doing that but it did not seem to resolve the issue (assuming I did it correctly). I did it on all of my disks that have an ESP partition, which is my Windows 10 and Ubuntu 24.04 disks (I have a dual boot system). When I ran the command it gave me this message. |

How do I know which one I want? I am trying to use this software to update the firmware of my system. I figured that the drive that my Ubuntu is running on is probably mounted by default, unless I'm misunderstanding something. I think I'm a bit confused. |

Thank you so much! That seems to have resolved the issue as I am no longer receiving that warning message. It is worth noting that I had to reboot for the changes to take effect. Before I close, one last concern. I noticed that when I run |
