HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I have an Elitebook 840 G6

 

Windows prompted me to install the Windows update yesterday

HP Inc - R70 - 1.26.0.0

 

I installed the update and restarted when prompted, and now every time I reboot it says

Please wait while we install a system update


after a lot of research I downloaded the R70 firmware from HP labeled 1.25.0.0
( the latest version listed on the HP website )

and installed it last night

 

the bootup message went away.

1 hour ago today,
windows update prompted me to restart to finish installing 
HP Inc - R70 - 1.26.0.0
It automatically installed it.

I restarted and now the boot up message is back
Please wait while we install a system update

 

so, it appears Microsofts HP INc - R70 - 1.26.0.0 has a problem fully installing

but

HP only currently has the R70 - 1.25.0.0 listed on the HP website.

there is some type of disconnect or error in the version being sent to and distributed by Microsoft windows update
that causes a problem with the newer version being fully installed on my elitebook

 

I'm guessing i just have to live with the boot message until I can get the R70 1.26.0.0 version from HP

just weird & disconcerting  that HP is sending a newer version to Microsoft before it is available on HP's website.
