HP desktop BIOS update stuck at the same percentage for an hour

Started the BIOS update from HP Support Assistant on my Pavilion desktop and it's been frozen on the progress bar for over an hour. Fans running, screen on. Scared to pull the plug and brick the board. What should I do?

updating bios on a mini pc with no optical drive

Got a small Gigabyte Brix box running as a home server. The manufacturer site has a newer BIOS file but the instructions assume a full desktop. Can this be done from a USB stick, and what happens if power cuts out halfway?

Do I really need a BIOS update if the laptop works fine?

HP Support Assistant keeps nagging me about a new BIOS version. Laptop runs fine, no issues. The release notes are vague. Is it worth the risk or should I leave it alone?

Spamming F2 doesn't get me into the BIOS on Windows 11

Mashing F2 and Delete as soon as I hit power, and Windows 11 still just loads. Desktop PC with an MSI board. Is there another way in from the recovery menu?

Laptop boots too fast to get into the BIOS on Windows 10

Need to change the boot order but the laptop goes straight into Windows before I can hit F2 or Delete. Fast startup maybe? Is there a way to get to the BIOS from inside Windows 10 instead?
