I'd be happy to help you! 

To successfully update the BIOS firmware on your HP ENVY All-In-One - 32-A1050 IDS Base Model, follow these steps carefully.

Step 1: Prepare for the BIOS Update

Ensure Stable Power Supply:

• Connect your laptop to a reliable power source. Do not attempt a BIOS update on battery power alone.

Backup Important Data:

• Although BIOS updates are generally safe, it’s a good idea to back up any important data before proceeding.

Step 2: Download the BIOS Update Manually

Visit the HP Support Website:

• Go to the HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads page.

Identify Your Product:

• Enter your model number (HP ENVY All-In-One - 32-A1050 IDS) and select your operating system.

Download the BIOS Update:

• Find the latest BIOS update under the BIOS section and download it to your computer.

Step 3: Run the BIOS Update

Close All Applications:

• Ensure all other applications are closed before starting the update.

Run the BIOS Update:

Hi @32-sp,

Please find the next set of steps below.

Step 4: Troubleshooting the Update

If the update still shows as "CANCELLED," try the following steps:

Check for Security Software Interference:

• Sometimes, antivirus or security software can interfere with BIOS updates. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and try running the update again.

Run the Update in Safe Mode:

• Restart your computer and enter Safe Mode.
• Try running the BIOS update from Safe Mode.

Use HP Support Assistant:

• Download and install the HP Support Assistant.
• Open HP Support Assistant and check for updates. It should detect and install the BIOS update if available.

Step 5: Perform the Update via USB (If Necessary)

If the above steps fail, you can perform the BIOS update using a USB flash drive:

Create a Bootable USB Drive:

• Format a USB flash drive to FAT32.
• Copy the BIOS update file to the USB flash drive.

Enter BIOS Setup:

• Restart your computer and repeatedly press Esc or F10 to enter the BIOS setup.

Update BIOS from USB:

• In the BIOS setup menu, find the option to update the BIOS.
• Select the USB flash drive and follow the instructions to complete the update.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure the BIOS Update File is Compatible:
  • Double-check that the BIOS update file you downloaded is specifically for your HP ENVY All-In-One - 32-A1050 IDS model.
