Not sure if I'm in the right forum. I just set up a brand new HP laptop. Was working fine. After about an hour, it told me I had to restart in order for the HP BIOS update to download. I did so, & at the end of the download, I got a notice that said "Flashing Boot Block." It stayed on my screen for a few minutes and then went away. Is this normal?

Welcome to the HP Support Community!
I reviewed your post and I understand that you have questions related to BIOS.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
Usually, the computer will restart after a BIOS update however, it is not a compulsion. Please check the BIOS version by going to system information and check whether the BIOS is updated to the version you installed.
I recommend you refer to the below article on how to update the BIOS on your computer.
