Let me take a moment to thank you for posting on the HP Support Forums.
I understand that you have an HP Pavilion - 15-au123cl. I read that it does not boot to the safe mode and also the Microsoft system restore fails. I further read that you have tried a lot of steps from the HP Forums and also perform a system recovery. I appreciate the steps you have performed and have certainly done a good job.
How to: Boot your Windows 10 into safe mode:
a)Open run dialog box by pressing Windows key + R key together.
Then type msconfig in the box and hit Enter.
b)On the pop-up window, view on Boot pane.
Then tick on Safe boot and click OK.
Click Restart, if prompted by system configuration
Then your Windows 10 would get into safe mode.
2)Open quick-access menu by pressing Windows key + X key.
Then click Command Prompt(Admin) to run it as administrator.
When prompted by User Account Control, click Yes.
Type the following commands and hit Enter to run them one by one:
• cd C:\Program Files
• takeown /f WindowsApps /r /d Y
• icacls WindowsApps /grant “%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%”:(F) /t
• attrib WindowsApps -h
• rename WindowsApps WindowsApps.old
4)Follows the a) & b) of Step 1 to open System Configuration Window.
This time uncheck Safe boot to reboot your Windows 10.
5)When it finishes rebooting, run System Restore again.
Let me know if this helps Take care! 🙂
