No video after 3.08 windows bios update

I have no video at boot after running the 3.08 windows bios update. It went to a “applying updates” sequence after reboot which resulted in a blank screen and inability to see video at boot once I forced the system off and on.

When I boot the lights are solid green and shut off about a minute or two later.

Is the correct thing to do to reset the main board state as in Fully Resetting the Mainboard State - Framework Guides ?

It is a 12th gen

Removing expansion cards doesn’t help. I only had USB A and C cards.

Oh, hm, I didn’t know it had special behavior.

I did try it, though, and it didn’t help.

Also, my problem is a bit different in that I have no video and no access to bios at boot, no framework logo etc

I don’t know. It broke at bios update time. I waited about a half hour and it never rebooted. I was actually unsure why the update was running because I rarely boot windows. I must have just booted Linux when I was mid update and supposed to boot windows a second time to actually apply the bios update. So I was in the middle of something else and did something stupid: I inserted a USB flash drive right during the update’s initial setup progress bar.

The update guide says to remove all devices for the flash process so it may be related.

Does this only happen when using a dock? Try removing dock and restarting.
