PC stuck in boot loop. Won’t get to windows screen, just continues to try and boot up for 3-5 seconds, then shuts down. Last night I did an automatic update upon shut down so I’m guessing it didn’t like the update as opposed to a power or component issue.

no PC told just OMEN
boot loops are common (I can only guess BIOS works ,esc , and other hot keys to BIOS.
1: RTC coin cell battery dead.
2: BIOS played with (troll kids and ankle biters.) boot order set wrong by kids, or pranks, in BIOS screen./
3: HDD bad or set wrong #2 above
4: w10 updates gone wrong boot 3times cold boot and w10 does auto repair.
5: w10 infected, or root kits erased boot files.
6: hdd test fails smart tests, run HP diagnostics to see if HW is good for sure HDD.
