I'm having the same issue, but these directions do nothing on my AIO 22-df00223w.

I have created my usb bios flash disk using the bios download from hp.com for this computer, it is formatted fat32 and contains the bios files.

I can sit here trying to hold Win+B all day and night, following your directions precisely, the -only- thing the PC will do is an infinite boot loop to the "update failed, unable to read bios image" screen for 15 seconds.  Win+B has 0 effect no matter how long I hold it or how many times I try it, I cannot get the BIOS recovery to begin
