Following the successful installation of Windows 11, I attempted to update my GPU driver but encountered an issue where the screen went black during the process. Now, launching Windows without a visible screen is problematic, though I can access the BIOS normally. There seems to be a concern about wiping the hard drive through the BIOS settings, especially since you're using a Gigabyte motherboard.

Can we retrieve complete system details? If you have iGpu installed, you might be able to restore the system via that or reinstall drivers. Should a faulty driver installation be the issue, a clean Windows installation would work. Alternatively, you can create a USB drive using Windows Installer, set it as boot priority in BIOS, and perform a fresh install.
