I tried with my 850 g3 and i get a black screen. doesn't appear to be brightness keys either can't really tell what is happening.

Wrong fix.
I checked in correct fix.

Note: All problem reports must include "Problem Reporting" files. No exceptions.

Ok this seems to work.

I noticed the battery icon shows an X in it for some period of time and then it updated to show the percentage.

Either nothing new or the system now starts up a bit faster...
No EFI/Clover attached, so I didn't really look at what you have here...
You could experiment with StartupDelay. See SSDT-ACPIBATT.dsl in ACPIBatteryManager repo... you would modify for _SB.BATC (path of battery object).

You should clear your NVRAM...
And clear it both using EmuVariableUefi-64.efi (+ RC scripts) and without.
To clear NVRAM: sudo nvram -c

Clearing with EmuVariable will clear nvram.plist.
Where clearing it without may help clear native UEFI NVRAM.
You should probably also check what you have in NVRAM with the UEFI shell...

I figured the restart after shutdown issue was with USB, but unfortunately due to bugs in BIOS, I could never succeed in changing anything (other than what I changed originally, to turn secure boot off).

I'll probably try a CMOS reset (at least an EC reset), if my neighbor doesn't mind me tacking the laptop apart...

But yeah, the BIOS sure seems ultra buggy in these new HP laptops...

Even after clearing NVRAM ,EmuVariableUefi-64.efi still doesn't work ,btw it used to work with intelbacklight..... will EmuVariable affect any performance ??

Sorry, looks like i attached 2 copies of ioreg. I Will try the experiments tonight.

Hi Bro!
I got a problem about sound jack. My headphone doesn't work when plugged into my laptop. Please get a check, thanks you.

This ioreg shows using layout-id 7 (which is current repo default setting).
Try 5.

This should be the right one.

Strange that I didn't have any problem with the ProBook 440 G4 as far as backlight level restore.
But I was using EmuVariableUefi-64.efi from the start.
And I was using a newer Clover built from sources...

BTW, I notice that your laptop has RDSS at RP05.PEGP (yet another path...)
It does not match what is currently in the hotpatch setup...
It won't matter unless you have a discrete graphics device, and you don't show one in your profile.
But it probably means I need to add support for a discrete device at _SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP.
