Thanks for your continued releases.
Have a question if you have the time -- is there any reason why the firmware can't be backed up?
When attempted, we get "Error 357: Restore Point Image was requested, but it is not allowed because CSE is in Recovery Mode."
Unfortunately my searching for the error doesn't turn up anything that I know how to resolve.
EDIT: Actually, this latest one did so without issue! Awesome!

Hi MoKiChU,
I have been trying to get access to the Forum for seven days so I could write you.
I have a Rog Maximus XII Apex motherboard and I have problem. I have Installed Windows 10 Pro on Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB. No problems with that.
After I have installed drivers and firmware it all looked fine. Also Samsungs NvME driver was installed. In bios Its set for PCIe 3.0 x 4. Bios is latest 2002. Didnt work with 1003 either. There are no Sata drives connected. Just this one NvME on slot M.2_1(only onboard M.2 slot).
My problem is that My NvME will only do ~1750 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. It shows the same speeds in Samsung Magician and HwInfo.
I have installed Windows seven times now, trying different drivers. I have tried to use all the drivers you have in your Index. There were no problems installing them.
Could there be any relation between that half speed and then me not updating drivers and chipset the correct way/order?
So before I will make a RMA on the board, I want to be sure its not me who messed up things.
I have made a thread on Tomshardware where all my screenshots are, also a very friendly person who tried to help. He also said I should try here.

I really is okay to post it here. If not im sorry.

I just made a new install of windows and did windows update. In Device manager there are missing a PCI-Unit and SM-Buscontroller driver.
Can you tell me in what exact order to install all your drivers? Just so I dont get it wrong. I just did a test after checking that box you told me and the speed was the same as before ~1750 MB/s read/write.
