Hello i am the developer of this program, and the sole purpose is to check for newer BIOS updates, so you can always stay up to date.
BIOS firmware revisions are important because it basically controls the entire board.
For example bios version 1.00 could have instability issues, 1.10 fixed that issue, 1.20 has overclocking problems, 1.30 fixes overclocking issues.
On new motherboards such as X99 have had issues when first released and people wait for a update to fix their issues.
You use UEFI Download Tool to check for a newer version of your BIOS for your motherboard that has been released, if you're on the most up to date version then it will say you're up to date, otherwise it will say there's an update and the information and you can download the update inside the program and have it auto extract and auto delete the zip if you configured this in preferences.
It's a lot more convenient then doing all that manually, you can turn on Automatic checking for UEFI updates so you will always know when there is an update without you doing anything.
So yes there is a point to my program and it is far from useless.
Understand what is going on before you jump to conclusions like that.
So overall if you had a bios that was not very good and had issues would you like to check the manufacturers website each day to see if there is an update taking time out of your day? Or have it automated?
