Hi,

I hate updating bios, because of its sensitive nature. Indeed, my fears become true this last 2 times i updated the bios.

I don't feel like going through this again a third time ( i don't have heart for it ).

Anyway, here's what happens:

 

1 - Download the new bios update. Close everything and click it.

2 -  Follow the assistant, the bios is updated

3 - Gets stuck at 100% ( clearing pending image ).

 

Right on the top, there's a warning to not shutdown your computer. So you can imagine my feeling of pressing the power button for the last 2 bios updates, and shaking of fear it would not turn back on.

These 2 times, it turned back on and the bios got updated.

 

Is there something i can do to avoid this? The first times i updated the bios since the purchase, everything went smooth and fast. Now i can't update it without freezing in the last step!

 

Model: OMEN by HP Laptop 15-dc0xxx

Product number: 4ML16EA#AB9

BIOS : F.14-07/13/2020

 

cheers guys
