  1. 1.   Prepare USB stick fully formatted to FAT32 with Bios file HN0059.bio https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29206/BIOS-Update-HNKBLi70-86A-?product=126141 . Format your USB with Quick Format option unchecked. Do not format your USB in MAC (OS) or Linux machine. Use Windows.
  2. Disconnect the power adapter and remove the upper cover and the LED panel from your NUC. Disconnect the LED panel connector before panel removing.
  3. Remove the yellow security jumper (see Product Technical Spec, para. 2.2.3.4, page 44 )https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/mini-pcs/nuc-kits/NUC8i7HNK_TechProdSpec.pdf
  4. Disconnect the CMOS battery connector and reconnect it after 15 minutes. (Item "F", figure 11 in TPS).
  5. Insert the USB with the HN0059.bio file.
  6. Reconnect the power adapter and power ON the NUC. Wait 30 sec - 2min. The Recovery process will start automatically and will end after 2 -5 minutes.
  7. When bios recovery is completed, switch the power OFF, remove the power adapter and replace the Security Jumper (pins 1-2) . Reinstall the LED panel and the upper cover.
  8. Power your NUC ON.
  9. Enter Bios setting by pressing F2 during boot process.
  10. Press F9(followed by "Y"), to set Bios to default settings. Press F10 (followed by "Y"), to save the settings and exit to O.S. Let the NUC fully reboot.
  11. If before update, you have customized bios settings, you can enter again to Bios setting to change the necessary settings. 
  12. If you will successfully recover your Bios, follow exactly those instructions, how to install Windows 10:
  13. Please prepare your installation media (you need 8GB – 32GB USB stick), using Microsoft Media Creation Tool: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209
  14. Your bios should be set to default settings. Enter bios (press F2 during boot) and then press F9 (Y) to set defaults and F10 (Y) to save settings and exit.
  15. With the installation media inserted into rear USB slot, power ON your NUC and repeatably press F10 to get Boot Menu.
  16. In this menu, choose UEFI option of you Installation media.
  17. Follow this tutorial to continue with installation https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-clean-install-windows-10-a.html
  18. In para. 7 you may enter Product Key from the Microsoft Distribution you bought.
  19. Skip on para. 12 and continue in para. 13. Important, do not format drive where you want to install Windows, rather delete all existing partitions from this drive, till you see one unallocated space.
  20. Press Next and continue with the installation.

  1. Which step from my post did you completed? Please write the para. numbers. Did you disconnected the battery?
  2. Are you connected to PC monitor or to TV?
  3. Try to recover Bios with minimum hardware configuration (i.e. remove the SSD and one of the SO DIMMs). The second SO DIMM remove from it's slot and reset it again.

  1. Did you changed Bios setting before this problem happened?
  2. Did you tried to power ON your NUC, with Yellow Security Jumper removed? Remove all devices from all USB ports. Leave only monitor and keyboard connected. After 30-60 minutes, you should see configuration menu.

 Edited:

  1. Should be "After 30-60 seconds, you should see configuration menu."

Power the system off and unplug it from A/C power for 30 seconds. Plug it back in and then press the power button, holding it down for a full 3 seconds. Release the power button and then wait. After some amount of time (less than a minute), you should see the power button menu displayed on your screen. Once you see it, press F2. This should get you into BIOS Setup (Visual BIOS). Press F9 (followed by Y) to reset your configuration. Make any changes you need (including disabling Secure Boot), save it and reboot and then verify it works. If you don't see the Power Button Menu, start again at the beginning and get the 3 seconds right.

 

Hope this helps,

  1. I'm assuming that your NUC is booting into Configuration Menu and only video output is missing. Let's try the "blind" method:
  2. Remove all devices from all USB ports. Leave only monitor and keyboard connected.
  3. Disconnect the Power Adapter and remove the upper cover.
  4. Remove the Yellow Security Jumper.
  5. Reconnect the Power Adapter and Power ON your NUC. Wait 3 minutes (no more time waiting is needed).
  6. Depress F2 and wait 1 minute.
  7. Depress F9, wait 30 seconds.
  8. Depress "Y", wait 30 seconds.
  9. Depress F10 and wait 30 seconds.
  10. Depress "Y" and wait 1 minutes for NUC to reboot.
  11. If the Bios setting where reset, you should see the video now and you may reassemble the NUC.

I would love to see the results of their analysis; this is most definitely NOT the result​ of just changing the Secure Boot parameter.
