Network PXE Boot Elitebook 840 G8

[AustinLondon]

Hello,  I recently leased a large quantity of HP Elitebook 840 G8s.  I am running into an issue when trying to PXE Network boot these devices.  When the device is booting and displays HP Logo and "protected by HP Sure Start", I press f12 for network boot and it says on the bottom "Entering Network Boot" and then immediately it goes back to the HP Logo and "Protected by HP Sure Start" screen followed going to the windows login screen.

On our previous inventory of G5 elitebook models in the BIOS we were required to disable secure boot, and change the Legacy & UEFI boot settings.  I see in this newer BIOS there is no Legacy options at all, and even when disabling secure boot I am getting the same results.  So far I have tried disabling fast boot, disabling secure boot, not sure what else to try but all have the same results so far.

Any suggestions are welcomed!

Hi,
I'd like to come back to you.
Do you have a solution to this problem?
I have received my HP 840 G8s and I have the same problem with PXE startup for task sequences, whereas I did not have it on my G7s.
Thanks for your feedback

Unfortunately no I have not found a solution yet.  I have been manually setting up laptops for now.  Hoping to get a response from HP on this issue as it looks like I'm not the only one having it.

you could try to do this:

Power on -> ESC -> in menu F12 or Network PXE boot -> ipv4 or ipv6 (if you have multiple entries then try everything) -> then it should work. on my 640 g8 I do it like this

When trying that method it briefly looks like it's attempting, but then it just returns to the startup menu.
