HP System Firmware Update Loop (HP V80 System Firmware/Driver Update 1.14.1.0) Rejects Flash on Boot

[Nini2027]

Hello,

I am experiencing a persistent update notification loop with an HP hardware update on Windows 11.

The system keeps pushing a settings notification: "Restart Required" for: "HP V80 System Firmware", as shown in the first picture ( it's in french, it means: 'Settings: Restart required. Your computer needs to be restarted to finish setting up this device: HP V80 System Firmware' ) (matching HP Firmware Driver Update 1.14.1.0 in my Windows Update driver history ( second and third pictures ) ).

General Technical Specifications:

Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Version: 26200.9445
Motherboard: 8B50 KBC Version 54.38.00
System BIOS: V80 Ver. 01.13.01

Problem Details:
1. After I installed an update yesterday ( 10/09/2026 ), after it booted, it showed a notification as explained above. I checked Windows Update History and HP Support Assistant, and both marked the update status as "Successfully Installed". I did a reboot to the laptop as it asked.
2. However, every time the machine restarts to apply the change, the BIOS update progress screen flashes for a fraction of a second, abruptly disappears, and safely aborts back to a normal Windows boot environment, and pushes the same notification again.

Steps Already Attempted:
- Ensured the AC power adapter charger is plugged directly into a wall outlet during all reboots.
- Completely disabled BitLocker drive encryption to prevent any low-level flashing blocks.
- Rebooted the laptop multiple times, even shutting it down for a while and start it again.

- Checked HP support assistant app, and everything seemed fine there.

The system remains safe and stable on its current version, currently working normally, but it refuses to apply the BIOS update, the pre-boot cycle keeps pushing the notification in every reboot, and keeps flashing the BIOS screen during boot/reboot before booting normally. Please advise if there is a solution to that problem, so it stops flashing the BIOS screen progress in every boot, and applies the update.

Thank you!
