Hi,
My zbook 17 G6 laptop started failing to boot, it gets stuck at "Protected by HP Sure Start". I tried to hit ESC to go into the BIOS, and it got stuck there too, displaying the text "Entering Startup Menu..."; tried hitting other F-keys did the same, the text displayed but didn't go into the menu. Then had to press the power button to shutdown.
I tried to hold the Windows-B keys combo while pressing the power button but nothing happened or it went back to the HP Sure Start logo again.
This laptop has PCIe NVMe SSD.
