I have had a firmware update problem. It keeps failing to update and a IEFI module shows as an error. Ive tried to removing all USB-C devices, unplugging it, making sure the power is drained and retrying it. The update reboots to the logi and update bar and after a few minutes a blie box pops up saying formware update failed.
