Hi @Grail2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

Based on what I see, your HP desktop is currently showing a Windows Recovery screen, which typically appears when:

• Windows fails to boot properly
• System files are corrupted
• A recent update or driver installation caused instability
• There’s a hardware issue affecting startup

What You Can Do Now

1. Try Startup Repair

If the screen offers a “Startup Repair” option:

• Select it and let Windows attempt to fix boot issues automatically.

2. Use System Restore

If available:

• Choose System Restore to roll back to a previous working state.

3. Boot into Safe Mode

• Select Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart
• Press F4 or F5 to boot into Safe Mode
• From there, you can uninstall recent updates or drivers

4. Use HP UEFI Diagnostics

• Restart your PC and press Esc repeatedly
• Choose F2 for diagnostics
• Run System Test and Hard Drive Test

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
