Out of Date Firmware

[Guest]

My laptop's performance has decreased alot especially with the windows
booting process and user login, I checked for any events logged that might be
causing the problem and I found the following:

SourceL atapi
Type: Warning
Event ID: 26
Description: The driver has detected that device \Device\Ide\IdePort0 has
old or out-of-date firmware. Reduced performance may result.

How can I fix this problem, and is it the one responsible for my Laptop's
extreme reduced performance?

Thanks!

It may be the probable source of the problem. Go to the manufacturers
website of your computer and check for updates to your specific system.
