Hello ^^
I own a all-in-one hp pavilion computer from 2015, for context my media player was giving me some trouble so I thought to restart my computer to fix the issue. Now it’s on the irritating blue error screen that has other options or to turn off my computer, I’ve been trying for two hours now.
I think it has something to do with the hardware of it, and I’m no tech expert so some help would be really appreciated.

See if you can boot into safe mode.
https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/how-to-enter-safe-mode-in-windows-10/
Items 1 and 2 are the only way with a bluescreen
If the above do not work then create a DVD or USB boot using instructions here
If you can boot into safe mode then bring up the device manager and look for problems
Post back here if you can get into safe mode. Also, please post your product ID.

Same person. Different account now. I’m having some difficulty putting into safe mode and I keep seeing ‘startup settings’ on the instructions when I look at them, it doesn’t say that for my computer at all and my product id is N0A03AA#ABA.

Sorry, I do not know what you mean by that. There is probably a language problem here. Maybe @Prométhée can help.
It would be help for me if you took a picture of the screen that shows "startup settings" as I do not know what it refers to.
Your system is described here
The genuine HP recovery USB procedure is described here

After powering on, press ESC and run system diagnostics to verify that the disk drive is good. Then go into the BIOS and verify the boot order shows "windows boot manager"
If you have any important documents you can use the command prompt and copy them to a USB flash. While you are there in the command prompt run sfc /scannow I have found it is a waste of time but it should be done just in case it might find a problem.
If you have not done it, please run the startup repair
If that does not work then bring up the system restore. Pick a restore date from when it was last working.
If the system restore cannot find any systems you are limited as to what you can do
1 - Try a custom repair of windows where you do an install but tell the installer to save all the files
2 - Do a clean install of windows.
Before doing the above install, please try the other stuff and post back here.

Hello! I got very busy with life complications and couldn’t respond but now that I have time I can.
let me rephrase myself like how you put it. What I meant to say is that my computer doesn’t have startup settings
like seen on other computers only startup repair which I was trying to use to boot my computer to safe mode,
