Hi @SandySarvagna
If you're having difficulty updating HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI or recovering your PC, here are some steps you might consider:
Updating HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI
Download HP UEFI Diagnostics Tools:
- Visit the HP Support website.
- Go to "Support & Drivers" and select "Drivers & Software."
- Enter your product name or number, click "Search," choose your specific model, and then select your operating system.
- Look for the "HP UEFI Support Environment" link in the Diagnostics section. Download the tools.
Install Diagnostics on a USB Drive:
- Follow the instructions provided on the download page to install the diagnostics software onto a USB drive.
- Ensure the USB drive is empty and formatted as FAT32 before installation.
Running Diagnostics from USB:
- Insert the USB drive into the PC and restart.
- Press Esc repeatedly until the Startup Menu appears.
- Press F2 to select Diagnostics.
System Recovery Issues
Check Recovery Partition:
- From Windows, check if your PC has a recovery partition.
- If it does not, you might need recovery media, which can be ordered from HP or created using HP Recovery Manager on another HP device.
Access Recovery Key:
- Ensure you have the correct Recovery Key usually found within your Microsoft Account if it's related to BitLocker.
- If disabled, check BIOS/UEFI settings for security options that might block recovery.
Recover Using HP Recovery Manager:
- Turn on or restart your PC and press Esc when the HP logo appears.
- Press F11 to start HP Recovery Manager, follow the on-screen instructions to initiate system recovery.
Use External Recovery Media:
- If all else fails, boot your PC via recovery discs or USB flash drive if you have them.
