Hi @SKJHA0786, thanks for posting. Sorry to hear about the issue with your HP product.
Meanwhile, if the laptop won't restart or install updates, try this: hold the power button 15 seconds to force it off, unplug the charger, wait 30 seconds and turn it on; then run Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Recovery > "Fix problems using Windows Update" (Windows 11) or the Windows Update troubleshooter.
To give you the exact solution, I need a few details:
- The exact model and product number: it's on the label underneath, or press Fn + Esc (notebooks) or open HP Support Assistant.
- Your operating system (e.g. Windows 11 64-bit).
- Any error message, beep code or blinking light pattern (count the long and short blinks).
- When it started and what changed before (update, drop, liquid, new hardware).
With that information I'll point you to the right steps and downloads. Keep me posted!
