This is on an HP ProBook 455R G6 with Ryzen processor.
Initiated a BIOS update from HP Support Assistant. Rebooted to a blank screen, two orange lights on the keyboard and spinning fans. Just stayed there.
Sinking feeling.
Did some research and found this document:

Step 2 is what helped me.
I pressed and held down the Windows key and "v" at the same time, while holding down the power button.
Tried turning on again. It turned itself off after a few seconds. Tried turning on again and it showed the HP logo on the screen and resumed some kind of firmware upgrade operation.
Booted into the the operating system fine after that.
Strong feelings of relief !!!
Note to myself: initiate BIOS update from within BIOS using the HP network BIOS update feature instead of Support Assistant.

Prebuilt manufactured systems always seemed to have such crummy and accident prone BIOS update options. Always made me nervous.
