can't update bios

[KingTing]

Hello! I am having issues with my computer freezing and I have tried everything I can think of other than updating bios (updating graphics driver, updating firmware on my mice, unplugging and plugging back in, disabling xmp, reseating all the connections on the motherboard, using some compressed air to clean out the motherboard). 

Here are the specs of my pc:

i5 8400

B360M Pro-vh

1060 3gb

16 gb 2400mhz

 

I am having trouble updating my bios. I have downloaded the bios from MSI's website onto several different thumb drives and I have the folder saved compressed and extracted on all three thumb drives. When in file explorer I can see the bios (i think, its file type is "190 file") but the computer sees the folder but not the file inside it when I'm trying to flash the motherboard. 

I don't know what I have done but now I am getting error code 0xc000000f and I have no idea what to do.

plz help

Try pulling the file out of the folder to the top level of the USB's file system.

I tried doing that too but it's still not being found

Are you trying to update the BIOS from your OS or directly from your BIOS?

[KingTing]

directly from bios. 

I'm getting error code 0xc000000f so unless I fix that I won't be able to update from OS
