Hello! Thank you for your answer but unfortunately it didn't help.
1. BIOS update file disapeared from log update (HP support assistant), so I can't download it again (2 pics attached)
2. I downloaded older version of BIOS for my laptop from HP support website and followed your instructions - didn't help. Screenshot attached
