after downloading and installing bios update via hp support assistant a few days back boot process started freezing. after force shutting down and turning on again it boots up, but when the laptop is turned off for longer periods of time (like an hour or more) the issue appears again. i've found this post which seems to be precisely my case https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46649954 but I honestly got a bit mentally drained while trying to figure out what to do, and when trying this solution the laptop didn't recognize my usb-a to ethernet dongle while in BIOS, so I decided I can temporarily live with laptop starting only from second attempt every time, however I'm a bit worried, how much time theoretically it can take them to roll out a fix, and how do I know whether they're even working on it?
