@Manan18, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
Based on the image, the OMEN 16-xd0015AX laptop is encountering a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with the stop code:

BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO

This error typically indicates a problem with the system's boot configuration, registry, or hardware drivers. Since the laptop is also asking for a Windows product key afterward and not accepting it, it suggests that the system might be booting into a recovery or misconfigured state.

Recommended Steps to Resolve the Issue

Step 1: Perform Automatic Repair

  1. Turn off the laptop completely.
  2. Press the power button and immediately start pressing the F11 key repeatedly until the HP Recovery Environment or Windows Recovery screen appears.
  3. Choose Advanced options > Startup Repair.
  4. Let Windows attempt to fix boot issues.

Step 2: Use System Restore (if available)

If Startup Repair fails:

  1. Go to Advanced options again.
  2. Select System Restore.
  3. Choose a restore point before the issue started.

Step 3: Rebuild Boot Configuration

If System Restore is unavailable or fails:

  1. Go to Advanced options > Command Prompt.
  2. Type the following commands one by one: 
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    bootrec /scanos
    bootrec /rebuildbcd
     
  3. Restart the laptop.

Step 4: Check for Registry Corruption

If the issue persists, you may need to restore the registry manually:

  1. In Command Prompt, type: 
    cd C:\Windows\System32\config
    ren DEFAULT DEFAULT.bak
    ren SAM SAM.bak
    ren SECURITY SECURITY.bak
    ren SOFTWARE SOFTWARE.bak
    ren SYSTEM SYSTEM.bak
  2. Then copy backup registry files: copy C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\* C:\Windows\System32\config
  3. Restart the system.

Step 5: If Windows Key Prompt Persists

If the system still asks for a Windows key and doesn’t accept it:

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
