NUC8i7HNK will not boot after BIOS update 0061

[kpiq]

NUC8i7HNK will not boot after BIOS update 0061.   Ran the BIOS update from Windows 10 64-bit.  PC rebooted, updated BIOS successfully, restared again and never booted, just stayed on the initial boot screen (F2 to enter Setup).

I will only respond to Ctrl-Alt-Del, not F2, ESC, F7, F9, F10 or any others.   I see a community.intel.com post from MSuur onm 04-20-2020 at 8:28 AM that helps recover it but I don't have the HN0059.bio file available and it's not on the Intel Support site either.

Any help?

Not that situation isn't bad enough already but it would be nice if Intel could update their BIOS release notes. Currently the release notes are for 0059 Nov 22, 2018.

I have no idea how relevant this is but I updated from 0060 (the BIOS that got pulled) to 0061 with 2 800P Optane drives on RAID 0.

This seems to be completely stable.

EDIT:

I am seeing one issue. Booting is definitely slower. The BIOS handing off to the OS is noticeably delayed.
