For better clarity and to assist you better, I would require more information regarding this:

• When did this first happen?
• Did it begin after a windows or software update? Do you remember?
• Please let me know the complete model# of the unit and the operating system installed.

For starters please try these steps.

Power down the computer completely by holding down the power button for a few seconds till it powers off.

Then perform a hard reset from these links.

• Then power on the computer and check if it logs off correctly or shuts down correctly.
• If it works, then the issue should be resolved.
• If not, please run complete system diagnostics on the computer from this link: http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c03467259

• Please follow the steps from this option “Testing using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)”
