Let it keep running. There have been instances on the forum where it took hours and then successfully completed. If you grow impatient and restart the system it may brick the MB.

Serious work on an E5430 and constantly building and working on an i5-6500 Desktop
I read previous messages. The machine was unresponsive, the power button didn't work.
I decided to risk it and removed the battery to power down. Then powered up again, and there was an automatic re-installation of the so called "corrupted" bios.
Finally, the machine booted windows 10 correctly.
My wild guess is that the thing was stuck at 100% because I had forgotten to unplug a USB hard disk.
Today the old BIOS version 1.10.2 is not anymore available to be downloaded. But for example the notorious BIOS version 1.13.1 is still available. This will stuck 0% if Dell WD19DC is connected.

According to support suggestions, I followed the procedure listed specific to my case (BIOS 1.10.2), and this solved the problem.
