Hi @Jayb331,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

If you are facing an issue with updating the BIOS on your HP laptop, there are a few things you can try.

• Check for the latest BIOS update: Make sure that you are trying to install the latest BIOS update that is available for your laptop model. You can check the HP website for the latest BIOS update and download it from there.
• Disable antivirus software: Some antivirus software can interfere with the BIOS update process, so it's recommended to disable it temporarily before updating the BIOS.
• Check the battery level: Ensure that your laptop has enough battery power to complete the BIOS update process. It's recommended to have at least 50% battery power before starting the update.
• Check for any pending Windows updates: Before updating the BIOS, make sure that all the pending Windows updates are installed.
• Use the HP Support Assistant: HP Support Assistant is a software tool provided by HP that can help you update the BIOS and other drivers on your laptop. You can download and install the HP Support Assistant from the HP website.
• Update the BIOS from within Windows: Some HP laptops allow you to update the BIOS from within Windows using the HP BIOS Update utility. You can download this utility from the HP website and follow the on-screen instructions to update the BIOS.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
