After turning on the All in One, the screen immediately went to this error message -
The system BIOS Update Failed.
Unable to open BIOS Image file.
I have gone through various processes that I have found online -
While holding Win & B keys turn one;
While holding Win & V keys turn on;
Unplug and wait 15 minutes;
Nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Please see this discussion...
You need to make a BIOS recovery drive with the F.41 BIOS update file and not the latest two that HP has.
Your PC's MonkD motherboard is the same one as in this discussion.

See the last reply by Harinder_Singh:
"Thanks Paul, but this file seems to have errors...sp145453 and sp143666, Unable to make USB recovery flash drive, that's why when these updates are coming and people getting them installed are getting stuck in a BIOS update fail loop. Hence, on the basis of my exploitation SP141980 was fine, with this i was able to create BIOS recovery flash drive and finally restored BIOS and break the loop of BIOS update fail."
Link to the F.41 BIOS update.

The is link explains how to create a BIOS recovery flash drive.
I've already provided the BIOS file you need, which is good for either W10 or W11.
