Your PC needs to be repaired, the boot configuration data file is missing some required information.

it says I need to use the recovery tools on the installation media. but I don't have any of that.

@chappers9 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are getting a 0xc0000034 error message.

Here are a few things you can try, depending on the error code you receive. See which applies to your system and carry them out: 

1. Run System File Checker to replace the corrupted Windows system files or Drivers 

2. Run DISM tool to repair Windows image. 

3. Use the Command prompt to rebuild your MBR, using the built-in bootrec tool. 

4. Use EasyBCD or Dual-Boot Repair to repair your BCD file. It also lets you repair MBR. 

5. On UEFI supported systems, you may try the following. Type the following two commands one after the other and hit Enter. 

Diskpart 

List volume 

You now have to select the volume that is labeled ESP. ESP or EFI System Partition is a partition on a hard disk or solid-state drive which adheres to UEFI or Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. In my case, it is Volume 2. 

Select volume 2 

Now we need to assign a letter to it. Let's select ‘z’. 

Assign letter=z 

Now exit diskpart by using the following command. 

Exit 

Next, type the following command and hit Enter: 

bcdboot C:\windows /s z: /f UEFI 

/f when used with the /s command, specifies the firmware type of the target system partition, and the options are – BIOS, UEFI and ALL. We used UEFI to generate boot files for UEFI supported systems. 

Restart your computer and it should resolve the issue,

I can’t seem to do any of these they don’t work, and the bottom of the screen it says press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings. Once I press this it comes up with the start up menu, which gives me the options to:

F1 - system information 

F2 - system diagnostics 

F9 - Boot Device Options

F10 - BIOS Setup

F11 - system recovery 

Enter - Continue startup

when I try to do system recovery or continue start up it just goes back to the blue screen
