Hello, I have HP Pavillon 15, recently I have a specific bug that is very weird. When I start my laptop it is freezing at the login page and I can do nothing (mouse doesn’t work, keyboard also).
But I found something by pure chance, when I start the laptop I click F10 to go the bios settings and I save and exit without changing anything and after that I don’t have the freeze screen and everything works well.
Well, I want to know if someone has the same problem as me and do you know why is this happening ? And why the F10 method works also. I asked AI about that but it doesn’t explain.
Thank you so much for your time!

Try this:
- Open the Start Menu, type Control Panel, and open it.
- Click on Power Options.
- On the left sidebar, click "Choose what the power buttons do".
- Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable" at the top (requires administrator approval).
- Look at the bottom under Shutdown settings, uncheck the box for Turn on fast startup.
- Click Save changes and restart the laptop.
- Now check.
