Hello, I've noticed a lack of useful setting in my BIOS and was wondering if there was an update to give me settings like constant power out on an USB port and turn over a network. Can anyone help?

Hi @ThatOtherGuy1,

 

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. For you to have the best experience on the HP forum, you could also visit our HP Forums Guide for the First Time Here?

As I understand the computer doesn't boot back into the windows since the last attempt at updating/Flashing the BIOS, Don't worry I'll help you out, however, I need a few more details to provide an accurate solution:

What is the product number of this computer? (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...) http://hp.care/2bygf7l

Do you know if this was a BIOS or a windows update?

When was the last time it worked (Date)?

Have you attempted any steps on your own before posting on HP Forums?

 

In the meantime, please attempt the below steps:

 

Start with a hard reset to release any excessive static on the PC:

* If Windows is open, click Start and then Shutdown.

* If Windows is not open and the computer has power, press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts off.

* With the power off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.

* With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.

* Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.
