Black Screen 2 long 2 short beeps Windows-B didn't help now no beeps, still black screen

I had a message to restart to install updates, which may have included a BIOS update. Restarted, but got black screen. White power button light and beep 2 long then 2 short. Turned off power with power button then restarted holding down the Windows key and the B key, but no change. Tried this a few times. Now the light is on steady, and no beeps but still black screen.

Problem seems to be solved. I unplugged the PC until the power light on the back went out and then tried the Windows Key / B key startup again and this time it worked! It showed a BIOS update in progress and also a recovery so I'm not sure which ended up happening, but at least its running.
