Hi @bijoudarma,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I'm sorry to hear that your HP desktop is stuck in recovery mode. Being in recovery mode usually indicates that there might be an issue with the operating system or some critical system files. Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to try and resolve the problem.

• Restart your computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix temporary glitches. Turn off your HP desktop completely and then turn it back on.
• Check peripherals: Make sure no external devices, such as USB drives or external hard drives, are connected to the computer. Sometimes, these devices can interfere with the boot process.
• Boot into Safe Mode: If your computer is able to boot into Safe Mode, it might indicate that the issue is related to recently installed software or drivers. To boot into Safe Mode, restart your computer and repeatedly press the F8 or F10 key (depending on the model) during startup. This should bring up the Advanced Boot Options menu, where you can choose "Safe Mode."
• Check for hardware issues: Ensure that all internal hardware components are properly connected. Open up the computer case and check if any cables or cards have come loose.
• Run hardware diagnostics: Some HP desktops have built-in hardware diagnostics tools. You can access them by pressing a specific key (usually F2 or F10) during startup. This will help you identify any hardware issues.
• Windows Recovery Environment: If you're using Windows, you can try booting into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). To do this, restart your computer and repeatedly press the F11 key during startup. From there, you can try options like "Startup Repair" or "System Restore" to fix the issue.
• Recovery or Reinstallation: If none of the above steps work, you may need to consider performing a system recovery or reinstalling the operating system. However, please note that these options may result in data loss, so it's essential to back up your important files before proceeding.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
