Thank you for posting on HP Forums,
Flower_Bud is at your service.
As I understand, your notebook freezes on the login screen,
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
When was the last time it worked fine?
Were there any hardware/software changes made?
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
Does your notebook overheat?
Let's try these steps to resolve the issue:
Perform Hard Reset: Click here and follow steps.
Run a Hardware Diagnostics System Quick Test
The HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool features a quick test that checks if main components are functioning properly. The test checks the processor, system board, hard drive, memory, and battery. it takes an average of 10 to 15 minutes to complete the test, depending on the system configuration.
-
Press and hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
-
Turn on the computer and immediately press the F2 key about once every second until the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)screen displays.
-
Click System Tests, and then click Quick Test.
- Click Run once, and then wait for the test results.
Let me know how this goes,
Cheers!

Hi! @Zd03, I am the Mr.Robot. It looks like you were interacting with @Flower_Bud, but he is out of the office today, so I'll take over from here.
I appriciate your efforts for writing back to us.
As you mentioned your PC is stuck at the lock screen.
Try the steps recommended below.
Check if there are any external devices connected to the computer, if yes remove them and check.
Use Microsoft System Restore in Safe Mode
To restore your computer to a time before errors started occurring:
-
Press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts down (about 5 seconds).
-
Turn on the computer.
-
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen displays.
-
From the Windows Advanced Options Menu, select Safe Mode, and press Enter.
When the Windows desktop displays, Safe Mode displays in the four corners of the screen.
-
Click Start
, and type system restore in the Search box. In the search results, click System Restore.
If prompted, click OK on the User Account Control message to continue.
System Restore opens.
-
Select Choose a different restore point, and then click Next.
-
Select a date and time from the list of restore points that matches a date and time before the computer stopped responding.
-
Click Next.
The Confirm your restore point window displays.
-
Click Finish, and then click Yes.
The computer restarts automatically after the restoration completes.
