@FahimUniKL, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your HP Laptop!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
I understand that your HP laptop is stuck in an update loop, where the system updates to 100%, shuts down, and then starts the update again. Let’s try a few troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue:
Perform a Hard Reset
- Turn off your laptop completely.
- Disconnect the power adapter and any external devices (USB drives, printers, etc.).
- Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds to drain any residual power.
- Reconnect the power adapter and turn on your laptop.
If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.
Boot into Safe Mode
- Turn on your laptop and immediately press the F8 key repeatedly (or Shift + F8) before the HP logo appears.
- If you see the Advanced Startup Options, select Safe Mode with Networking and check if the system boots up.
- Once in Safe Mode, try uninstalling the latest update:
- Press Windows + R, type appwiz.cpl, and hit Enter.
- Click View installed updates, find the most recent update, and select Uninstall.
Perform Startup Repair
- Turn on the laptop and force shut it down three times (hold the power button until it turns off).
- On the third restart, you should see Advanced Recovery Options.
- Select Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Repair and follow the on-screen instructions.
Use System Restore
- In the Advanced Options menu, select System Restore.
- Choose a restore point before the update issue started.
- Follow the prompts to restore your system.
Reset Windows (If Necessary)
If none of the above steps work, you may need to reset Windows while keeping your files:
- Go to Advanced Options > Reset this PC.
- Choose Keep my files and follow the instructions.
Let me know if these steps help or if you need further assistance!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
