BootDevice not Found error 3F0

Ever since I switched to Windows 11 I had this error pop up from time to time. Sometimes it goes away after a few restarts, sometimes it stays longer like this, I have not yet figured out a pattern on how to get it working again.

After I played around with Symptoms Test, when it runs the HardDrive/SSD diagnostics test, it says that it could not find any hard drive on my computer. So it seems like the problem is that it randomly stops recognising the hard drive.

Did anyone else have this issue? Is it laptop related, Windows related, BIOS related?

If it is of any help, my laptop is this one: https://www.hp.com/nl-nl/shop/product.aspx?id=6B8B0EA&opt=ABH&sel=NTB&bid=DYN\_BUNDLE\_0008778\_6B8B0EA\_ABH&source=google&channel=cpc&adcampaign=OLS-NL-PS-Promo-Goo-Pmax&addisttype=xpla&kw=&adid=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs-Od8fj8gQMVgYVoCR1t-gIiEAQYAyABEgJQw\_D\_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    That 3FO error is a known bug with HP laptop BIOS's, it is not caused by a problem with Windows or the drive, check on the support page for your laptop on the HP website to see if there is any BIOS update available that may not yet be installed.
