FAQ:

1 Question: When bitlocker is enabled, can updater work without problem?
Answer: Yes, you can update it without problems.
2 Question: Can updater work on unprovisioning system?
What happen if update firmware without unprovisioning?
Answer: Updater can work without unprovisioning and after updating system will work fine.
But according to Intel, vulnerability may remain without unprovisioning, so we strongly recommend unprovisioning before update.

Answer: First shutdown system and remove AC and battery both.
After 15s, attach AC and battery again then power on system and retry.
