Should take no more than a 5-10 minutes at most (Realistically 1-3 minutes), at this point I would power off the system.

Note I have that same board (Z370 Extreme4) and had an issue updating the BIOS once where it got stuck @ 0%, just rebooted and redid the flash no problem. That board also has a redundant BIOS as well.

I see no other option than restarting the board. What method have you used?

I just held the power button for a few seconds and it powered off than turned it back on.

A scary experience.
I might suggest you put bios updates on hold for a while if your pc is otherwise working well.

The bios updates for the security flaws have not all gone well in conjunction with the windows updates.
As far as I know nobody has experienced the issues the fixes are intended for yet.

Would that be risk?
