Hi,
I tried to update my BIOS and it seems to be taking longer than it should. I think the update is stuck?
It has said ‘a separate installer has launched. You may need to perform necessary actions to complete installation’. What do I do? It’s been stuck on this for 1 hour now?

Greetings @Sl_1952_
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Sorry to see this.
You're between a rock and a hard place.
At some point you will have to power off the system. Then restart the PC to see what happens.
Maybe this HP Site can assist if your PC's BIOS is now corrupted. Follow all BIOS recovery steps at this site.
This site has a link to contact HP support.
Regards
