HP Recommended
Product: HP Z2 Mini G9 Workstation Desktop PC (4Y5Y9AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I had a problem with the screen always being blank when booting. This was stopping me accessing the boot menu, BIOS etc. I found a solution, which worked in my case. MY HP Z2 G9 has 2 full size Display Ports plus 4 mini Display Ports. I was using one of the full size Display Ports when I first setup the system. I changed my setup to use one of the 4 mini Display Ports (1 and 4 gave same result) and now when the PC powers on, I get the splash screen and can see the boot menu (Esc) or BIOS (F10). So it looks like the BIOS is picking the add-on display card in favour of the built-in CPU display ports.
