Windows 11 update, forced BIOs/firmware update

[Ted2021]

Windows 11 update forced a firmware/BIOs update. Saw the update was downloaded, cancelled on previous attempt but now forgot to cancel, upon BIOs install screen (cancelled) however now a boot loop. F12 works, only sees 1 drive and not 2, yet is the correct drive.recovery does not open. Not tried ESC key, full battery, PC Passed all HP quick tests.
seen other post stating it’s most likely windows11, however I know what it was attempting to update, plus not even HP logo onscreen. Can hear HDD spinning yet empty drive, SSD is listed correctly on boot preferences.

Should I download firmware from HP site onto USB and attempt? Then try Windows boot attempt! Knew this would happened but too late to stop it again..

- Disconnect charger

Thank you, 

Exact same results. Attempted to Boot from USB and is failing, attempted on another laptop to Boot from same USB and can confirm works.

Do not have legacy mode, so proving difficult to flash the Bios. Any suggestions, greatly applicated.

Check HP Diagnostics (F2) for the <Bios Management> entry, so we could use <USB flash drive> containing bios data.

I do not see this option.

I'm 10th Gen Intel.
