HP Pavilion Power - 15-cb045wm
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I tied a Factory Reset. Used the CD HP lets you create. I got up to:

Recovery Manager

Restoration Incomplete

Please select on of the following buttons.

Save Log - Details - Retry

In the back the system has a Command:

C:\Windows\System32\CMD.EXE

The system cannot find the drive Specified.

I Restart and get to the login screen as Administrator.

The computer crashes,

Restarts.

It will go back to the recovery manager and do the same thing.

I gave up and used a Windows 10 Install disk.

I installed Windows from scratch. I had to find all the drivers from HP. Update Windows 10 to 1803 20H2.

Took me days.
