Product: HP EliteBook X G1a 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC (A42XGAV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Hi, after I updated my BIOS to most recent one (X88 Ver. 01.02.04) when I want to turn on computer without connection to AC adapter it just stuck to black screen with loud fan noise. Only after long press to power button and waiting for several minutes it continues to boot normally. I performed all extensive hardware testings from UEFI and all parts of computer are ok, including battery and AC adapter. I also tried several times to rollback BIOS but without any success - every time it is still back to most recent BIOS version (don't know if it is connected to HP Sure Run or some other BIOS protection). Are there any advice for this issue?
Thanks!
