Hi @ritter0901,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.


If your HP Pavilion laptop is stuck in a BIOS update and the usual methods, such as powering it off or holding the power button, are not resolving the issue, you may need to take additional steps.

 

Hard Reset:

  • Disconnect all external devices (USB drives, external hard drives, etc.).
  • Disconnect the laptop from the power source.
  • Remove the laptop battery if possible (for non-removable batteries, skip this step).
  • Hold down the power button for about 15 seconds.
  • Reconnect the battery and power source (if applicable).
  • Power on the laptop.

Perform a BIOS Recovery:

  • Visit the HP official website and find your laptop's support page.
  • Look for BIOS updates and download the latest version available for your model.
  • Follow the instructions provided on the website to create a BIOS recovery USB drive.
  • Insert the USB drive into the laptop and power it on.
  • The system might detect the USB drive and initiate the BIOS recovery process.

 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.-
