Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!

I see you are experiencing issues with the HP Notebook not booting to windows after the Bios update.

• You can recover the BIOS using a key press combination.
• Turn off the computer. Press and hold the Windows + b keys, and continue to press those keys while you press and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds. Release the power button, but continue pressing the Windows + b keys.
• The power light remains on, and the screen remains blank for about 40 seconds before anything is displayed. You might hear a series of beeps (usually 8 beeps). Eventually, an HP BIOS Update screen is displayed and the BIOS update begins automatically.   

If issue persist then Run diagnostics to rule out other hard drive issues

• Start or restart the computer.
• Press F2 repeatedly during start up to enter the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI utility.
• Select Component Tests > Hard Drive > Quick Test.
• Select drive C:.
• Click Run Once.

• Once the test completes, results are displayed on screen.

  If the drive passes all tests, continue to restore a computer back to the factory default, which will isolate whether it’s a software or hardware issue. 

  The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
