Hello,
AMD 2021 Windows 11 HP Desktop Model # S01-aF0134z. There is a problem with the BIOS. To fix that, I am using a secondary working HP Laptop to create a HP BIOS USB Recovery stick, but it is not working. Using the serial number of my HP Desktop, I downloaded the BIOS update .exe file from the HP websiteLink Removed On three different secondary PCs I've tried, the secondary PC freezes every time I open the .exe file.

In order to use the BIOS USB Recovery stick, I put it in the HP Desktop with the corrupted BIOS, hold Win Key, B, and Power button for 3 seconds, let go of power, and hold Win Key, B, until the BIOS Recovery screen appears. I cannot do that until I create the BIOS USB Recovery stick. When I cannot access the HP BIOS .exe file, how can I create the stick? Thanks.

Is there an option to just download the raw .bin file? That's all you really need on the USB
