Windows 10: Laptop boots normally half the time

My HP Inspiron laptop boots normally half the time. The other half the time it boots to the Windows sign in screen, but the keyboard does not work. I can use the mouse; I can click on the accessibility icon and the shutdown icon. The network icon shows "No Networks". When I click on it, it shows Wi-Fi off, airplane mode off, no networks. I can click Wi-Fi on and off but that does nothing to the no network. I can click airplane mode on and off but that does nothing to the no network message. At that point, I have to hold the power button to reboot, and then the laptop will boot normally: the wi

My laptop boots up to a nonresponsive "normal" screen half the time

I have an HP Pavilion with Windows 10. Normal startup has me pressing the power button, Win10 loads, and I get a sign-in screen. I type my password and go to the desktop, all good. Half the time, every other startup, I push the power button, Win10 loads to a different screen and is completely unresponsive. The screen is the "normal" Windows full-screen photo. There is a power indicator in the lower right, and next to it is the network icon only it has an "x" in it. There is no cursor, the keyboard does not work, the mouse does not work, not even ctrl-alt-del works. Nothing works except to hold down the power button until I can feel the unit power down. Then I wait 5 or 10 seconds and push power on again, and the laptop will start normally. I have tried every suggestion I can find on the internet, but nothing is specific to this set of symptoms.

• Half the time the laptop boots up to a normal sign-in
  
• Half the time the laptop boots to a completely unresponsive "normal-looking" page
  
• It does not boot up to a black screen or blue screen
  
• There does not seem to be a different boot option or second OS
  
• No onboard Windows diagnostic has determined any issue
  

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

Hello,

Please be informed that, if there are many startup items on the desktop, it will take time to boot up to the desktop screen. It is the ideal time to boot up.

Also, suggest you to run the system maintenance troubleshooter.

Refer these steps:

view all option on the left panel.

4. Run the System Maintenance troubleshooter.
