@Rajan_Bhatia Welcome to HP Community!
- Please provide the product number for your computer.
- Have you made any changes to the computer?
In the meantime, please follow the below steps and check.
Uninstall the driver you are using via Programs and Features. Before you reboot go offline (helps prevent WU from
popping in a driver while Windows is rebooting).
Reboot and install the new driver.
