Hi @Forzamnm,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP laptop is stuck at 99% during a BIOS recovery, it's a concerning situation. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue.

Wait and Be Patient: Sometimes, BIOS updates or recoveries take time, and it might be stuck momentarily. Give it some time, as the process could be completing background tasks.

Hard Reset:

• Turn off your laptop.
• Disconnect the power supply.
• Remove the laptop battery if it's removable.
• Hold down the power button for about 15 seconds.
• Reconnect the power supply (and reinsert the battery if it's removable).
• Power on your laptop and see if it progresses past 99%.

Retry the BIOS Recovery:

• If the laptop is still stuck at 99%, you may need to redo the BIOS recovery process. Sometimes, issues can arise during the initial attempt.
• Make sure to follow the official HP documentation and ensure that your USB flash drive is properly formatted.

Use a Different USB Port:

• Try using a different USB port on your laptop. Sometimes, a different port might have better connectivity.

Check for Power Interruptions:

• Ensure that there are no power interruptions during the BIOS recovery process. A stable power source is crucial for BIOS updates.

Remember that updating the BIOS carries some risk, and if not done correctly, it can lead to serious issues.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
