I am having issues with the start up process for my 

HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-1337c. When I turn it on, it goes into advanced repair mode and will not let me get out of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Ntfd17 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

This symptom, unfortunately, suggest a corrupt boot loader.

 

However, run HP Diagnostics at startup to verify the drive and other components are okay.

 

Start the PC. Tap "ESC".

 

Select "F2". Run system and component tests.

 

I have tried all boot loader recovery options I could find online but always wound up having to back up data and reinstall the operating system.

 

I removed the system drive. Connected this drive to a different PC as a data drive. Copied data from the corrupted system drive to the host PC or removable media connected to the host PC.

 

I have eliminated this issue by using Drive imaging software. I routinely create system backups on external media. It takes about 10 minutes to get back to computing when I have a Windows problem or a hardware failure.

 

Check this YouTube video on how to fix a corrupted boot loader. I haven't tried this but it looks promising. Will give it a try the next time I have a boot loader problem.

 

Google how to fix a corrupted UEFI boot loader if you want to try other options.

 

Regards
