Downloaded and ran the Windows BIOS 3.05 update. The update downloaded some stuff and then started a reboot. On reboot, after the initial checks the screen went blank, and it’s been sitting there for more than an hour. The LED around the power button is on, and I can occasionally hear the fan running. Is there anything I can do other than force a powerdown and hope for the best?

Where you trying to boot into Windows 11? Which version of Windows are you on?

The process still hangs at a blank screen on the reboot to update the BIOS. Since posting this I managed to get the updater to run, but it gave an error about decompression failing. I’ve also tried to update using EFI shell, and that also failed with a decompression error.

After looking around the system, I noticed that the EFI partition is 71% full. I haven’t had time to research what to do yet.
