HP EliteDesk 705 G4 DM 35W
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am trying to update the BIOS in several of my HP EliteDesk 705 G4 DM 35W computers.  I am running this through an endpoint management system called Tanium.  The HPBIOSUPDREC.exe and the Q26_022300.bin are files attached to the package. This is the install string that I am using:  HPBIOSUPDREC.exe -s -r -f Q26_022300.bin.    When I run the package, I get an exit code of 259.  In my research, this code deals with power options or battery issues.  These are desktop computers so I do not understand why I would get an error code that deals with power issues when the computer is always on.  In addition, I have changed the power settings, through the command line, so that the computer does not sleep or hibernate.  Why am I still getting this error code?  Is my syntax  correct for my install string?  Any information would be most appreciated.
