I have an HP Pavillion 17-g133cl laptop running Windows 11. Yesterday I wanted to shutdown and there was a Windows update available, so I selected Update & Shutdown. After running the update, it seemed to be restarting. The screen then went black, it sounded like it was restarting again, an HP showed on a black screen, then the message Preparing Automatic Repair showed. After a minute, it shuts off, then tries to start again. The same message shows, then it shuts off. This loop will continue until I force a Power Off. I've been looking through various help sites and cannot find a fix. I cannot get into safe mode. I've used the F2 screen to run system checks, and everything says PASSED. I created a Windows 11 boot USB and CD, but I cannot get it to read from either of them, it goes straight to the Preparing Automatic Repair screen & loop. I've tried changing the Boot order in the F2 screen, but still nothing. I read on another PC page to update the BIOS. Where can I find a downloadable BIOS update for this laptop? The HP page says there are no drivers available for it. I see on the F2 page where I can update, but I cannot do it without the files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my primary PC for my consulting job. Most of my data is on a removable drive, but all my programs reside on the laptop and some will be difficult to install elsewhere. Note: The F2 screen shows it is currently on BIOS Revision F.45 dated 04/28/2017
