Product: Spectre x360 13”
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I am trying to do a recovery boot from a USB. I got a link from the HP support and set everything up and the flash drive is prepared. When I choose the USB as a boot option from F9 it just goes to a black HP screen. 

 

A little background: my original problem was the black screen with  preparing automatic updates when I tried to turn it on. I performed the quick and extended test, both of which everything came back passed. I tried the F11 route and the same black screen with please wait popped up and lasted for a long time. I contacted hp support and they sent me the recovery files in a link to put on a USB. and now I’m stuck with hours of the black HP screen with no other options or screens to select anything

Could you clarify what recovery files you used? Perhaps using the Tool at Microsoft site?
