Power Suspend Issue on HP EliteBook 840 G6 Notebook & 18.04 - SOLVED

I not feel qualified to say what I think you are suggesting here

What I experienced was that when I booted the laptop in linux and went 
to that page

Then it didn't find anything

Sorry I forget the message it displayed

But when I went in windows I was able to get the update and install it

That is what I experienced

Regards
