Greetings,
Welcome to the forum.
I am not a HP employee.
Windows and HP both give blue screens when there is a problem.
A "F11" option on the blue screen you are seeing suggests you have a HP error screen.
I would shut down and restart the PC. Tap 'ESC". Then select "F2".
Run HP Diagnostics.
Regards
