Thanks for reaching out to us on HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to help.

I understand that you have an HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 860-010 and post a few updates, the PC is stuck ona command prompt screen and would not respond to any function. I appreciate the steps you have performed and have certainly done a good job.

I would like to know if you remember what updates took place. Like, were those Windows updates or a BIOS update? Meanwhile. I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix: 

• Please disconnected any USB devices from the PC. 
• Remove any disk present in the PC.
• Press the Ctrl+Alt+Del keys on the keyboard and check if you can open the task manager.
• If the PC does not respond then press and hold the power button until the PC powers off.
• Disconnect all cables from the PC (includin ghte power cable). Again press and hodl the poer button for 15 seconds to dsicharge any static from the PC.
• Reconnect all cables and power on the PC.

If the PC contineus to not boot into Windows then try to recovery the BIOS by following the steps from this link: http://hp.care/2eK4dXa

If none of the steps fix the issue then try running a test on the hard drive, memory and system board. Please refer to "Testing using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)."

Feel free to let  me know how it goes. Cheers! 🙂

HelloM Kazi. Thank you for your response. Unfortunatly due to no response of any kind, I unplugged the pc and plugged it back in, there isnt any response at all. PC will not turn on, although it is recieving power. Spent a few hours going though the troubleshooting tips with nothing that helped. Taking the unit into get it checked out to see what the problem is.

I did not see what the update was that was loading. Thank you again.

You are welcome. 🙂 I appreciate you taking your valuable time to troubleshoot.

If the PC is not responding then I suggest you to release the static energy from the PC using the below steps:

• Press and hold the power button until the PC powers off.
• Disconnect all cables (including power cable) from the PC.
• Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds to release the static. 
• Reconnect the keyboard, mouse and the monitor.
• Power on the PC.

Please do let me know if you were able to run the hardware diagnostics on the PC.

• Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.

• Turn on the computer and immediately press the F2 key repeatedly, about once every second.

• The HP PC Hardware Diagnostic UEFI home page displays.

• Select Component tests.

• Please hard drive, memory and system board.

Good luck! 🙂
