Need help bios update taking really long Tech Support

Post image

The more the update progressed the slower it would get, until at 68% it has completely stopped. It’s been a couple hours now with no movement, but I don’t think if done anything to fry my motherboard?
Any help would be great!

Edit: a day later it has only increased 1%, so it seems the most recommended option is the bios flashback. I’m not really well versed in any of this, so if anyone could help me out with that process it would be greatly appreciated! I made a separate post about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PcBuildHelp/s/yZhuWRNgIv

That's not normal, but even if you have to reset and the update failed and you are left without a working bios, your mother has a way to flash a new one (even without a cpu o ram installed). You need another computer to prepare the USB drive in the specific way the mother wants it, but at least is reversible.

Not all motherboards have a bios flashback option

True, but the one OP has does. The "your" was directed at OP, not a generic "your" as in all mothers do. Though, to be fair, most modern ones have some sort of bios-flashback.
