Windows 10: Freqeunt PC Freezing and having to restart by force

So this is quite a complicated problem. Im not sure when or why this started. But recently, my pc completely stops working and has to be physically restarted. There are different ways ive seen it happen/things that are associated with the problem. Such as the search bar when you click on the windows icon in the taskbar receives no input and doesnt allow you to reach certain apps. The blue green magnifying glass search on the task bar refuses to open entirely. And im not sure if it’s triggered by opening apps or something i have an example video but it does not let me show it here. This has cau

PC freezes while shutting down/restarting, have to force shut down

Basically after just a few seconds of shutting down/restarting the PC just completely freezes with the spinning circle stopping and it never shuts down until I force shut down. This has been happening for a few days now. I have tried to look up solutions myself but every video I've seen on the issue the spinning circle keeps going rather than freezing so I think my problem might be different. I tried basic stuff like sfc /scannow, chkdsk /f, dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, and also in gpedit I enabled the highly detailed status messages but the only text that shows before it freezes is shutting down/restarting so I can't figure out where it's having problems shutting down. Looked in the event viewer as well even after waiting over a half hour at the frozen screen but I can't see anything obvious that sticks out, in both the application and system sections. However in safe mode I'm able to shut down/restart normally, so perhaps it could point to a software issue? UPDATE: I also asked this question on reddit and someone suggested that it could be a BIOS update that I recently installed because he has seen several HP PCs that had the problem with failed shutdowns. I don't know how I can go about reverting the update or perhaps I can factory reset BIOS? I tried to recover the BIOS with Win + B and holding the power button for 2-3 seconds like it says to do for HP and although it said it recovered the BIOS, it didn't revert the version back to default so I'm still having this issue. No guarantees it would solve the issue but I think it's likely, any suggestions?
