Inspiron 3847, Bios update frozen?

My Dell Support Assistant prompted me into updating my Bios, it started doing what it should be then froze.

I am here.

Reading flash ............... done

Secure Flash enabled, recalculate ROM size with signature...

It doesnt seem to be going any further. The PC still seems to work Ok however I fear that rebooting it may not be a good idea. Is there a problem here? Can it be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wont shut down the Pc until I hear back.

Just thought I would add it is updating from A4 to A10, it didn't give me the option to install any other bios updates. It is running Windows 10 fully updated,

I am now thinking that nothing has actually installed, or attempted to install, so shutting down the process shouldn't really be an issue, would this be correct?Screenshot (9).png
