HP Laptop 15s-dy series cannot boot into Windows. System is stuck in recovery loop after restart. BitLocker recovery was triggered. I have the recovery key and want to recover without data loss. And system is not updated to Windows 11

Hi @Sre01,


Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.


Sorry for the inconvenience caused don’t worry let me help you.

To better understand the issue, could you please provide a few more details?

 

  • At what point does the recovery loop occur (e.g., immediately after entering the BitLocker key, or after restart)?
  • Have you recently installed any updates, drivers, or new software before this issue started?
  • Do you see any specific error codes or messages on the recovery screen?

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try in the meantime:

  1. Enter the BitLocker Recovery Key
    • Since you have the recovery key, enter it carefully when prompted. This should allow Windows to attempt booting.
  2. Perform Startup Repair
    • Restart the laptop and press F11 repeatedly to enter HP Recovery Manager or Windows Recovery Environment.
    • Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Repair. This can fix boot-related issues without affecting your files.
  3. Check Boot Options
    • In the recovery environment, go to Advanced Options > Command Prompt.
    • Run the command:
      bootrec /fixmbr
      bootrec /fixboot
      bootrec /scanos
      bootrec /rebuildbcd
       
    • This helps repair corrupted boot records.
  4. System Restore (if enabled)
    • From Advanced Options, choose System Restore and select a restore point prior to the issue. This will not affect your personal files but may remove recent updates or drivers.
  5. Safe Mode Boot
  • Try booting into Safe Mode from the recovery options. If successful, you can back up your data and troubleshoot further from within Windows.

I hope this helps.
