Product: HP 250 G8 Notebook PC (1T4J6AV)

Hello!

I recently downgraded my HP 250 G8 laptop from Windows 11 to Windows 10 22H2 using the official Microsoft installation tool. Early in the process, the laptop restarted, and since then it won’t boot properly.When I press the power button, the fans spin up and I can hear the system start briefly, the screen flashes on for a moment, but then stays completely black, and the laptop shuts down after a few seconds. No HP logo, no BIOS, nothing. Sometimes it tries to restart again but fails the same way. I tried the following: Holding the power button for 60 second, BIOS recovery using Windows + B and Windows + V , Plugging in a BIOS recovery USB to no avail. I can't find any drivers for Windows 10 22H2 on the HP support site. What should I do?
