I recently had a BIOS update on my HP Pavilion. I am attempting to rollback my BIOS update but I'm having issues. It is currently on F23 and need to roll it back. I have make the recovery USB with the F22 bios but I get an error that says "unable to open BIOS signature file." Please help I need to roll the BIOS back.
The UEFI version in 6.7.0.0

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Firstly, remove the hard drive from the computer.
- Once the hard drive is removed turn on the computer without the hard drive- While booting as the computer doesn’t detect a hard drive, so it’ll automatically roll back to the previous bios.
- Put the HDD back in and turn it ON. It might give an error about improper shutdown. Just click continue and it should boot to windows.
