HP Recommended
Product: HP 15-f387wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I recently formatted my HP 15 and I watched as it had boxes popping up and off. There were lots of command prompts opening and closing rapidly on the left), loading bars, etc, all seemed normal until something in the top right of the screen came up that said "FBI -- DEBUG MODE". Obviously I have no way of taking a screenshot of this, and my phone wasn't close enough to grab a picture while the box was present, which it was there for roughly 5 seconds. I suppose I could go through the reboot process if necessary to grab a picture of this if absolutely needed, though considering the time it takes... yeah.

 

Anyway, conspicuous title is conspicuous; why or what was that? Why is it named so and what does it do? I have been hesitant in investing in a Windows 10 for reasons known all too well, and that box didn't exactly reassure anything. If anyone has any information on what that was, what program it belongs to, or what it might be doing, knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

(This is my first HP so I do not know how to tell the brands apart, this is what I see on the sticker on my base:     )
