• The HP BIOS Update and Recovery utility might not pop up automatically for several reasons, often related to the system's state or specific settings. 
• Possible Reasons and Solutions:
• No Detected Issue:
• If the system's BIOS is not corrupted and no update is pending or scheduled to run automatically, the utility might not launch on its own. 
• Manual Trigger Required:
• In some cases, especially for recovery or specific updates, the utility needs to be triggered manually, for example, by repeatedly pressing a specific key like F11 during startup to access the Recovery Manager. 
• CMOS or Embedded Controller Issues:
• Corrupted Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) data or Embedded Controller (EC) data can prevent the system from booting correctly or initiating automatic BIOS recovery processes. Resetting the CMOS or EC might resolve this. 
• Unsupported Functionality or Hard Drive Issue:
• If HP BIOS Update is not displayed even when expected, the computer might not support this function, or there could be a hard drive issue preventing its launch. 
• Specific Conditions for Automatic Recovery:
• Automatic BIOS recovery typically occurs when the computer detects an improper shutdown or a boot problem. If these conditions are not met, the utility won't launch automatically.

@mohamedserag80, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding HP BIOS update! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

Here are some potential reasons and troubleshooting steps you can take:

Possible Reasons:

No Detected Issue: If there is no current BIOS corruption or if the BIOS is already up-to-date without pending updates, the utility may not launch on its own.

Settings Configuration: The system settings may be configured in a way that doesn't allow automatic launching of the utility. This includes settings related to automatic updates or recovery triggers.

Manual Trigger Required: Sometimes, the utility needs to be initiated manually, particularly if the BIOS setup doesn't detect issues automatically.

Solutions:

Check for Updates Manually: You can manually check for BIOS updates through HP Support Assistant or directly via HP’s official website. This proactive approach ensures you’re aware of the current BIOS version and any available updates.

Access Recovery Options: If you suspect a recovery is needed, accessing the BIOS recovery options from boot can help. You may need to press specific keys (like F10 or Esc) during startup to enter the BIOS or recovery menu.

Review System Configuration: Verify that your system's settings are configured correctly for automatic detection and updates of BIOS issues. This includes checking power settings and ensuring they don't restrict operations that might be necessary for BIOS updating.  

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
