Unable to boot into the Desktop on HP Pavilion 20-b014

Hi Tophy,

Thank you for performing the troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue from your end.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, I realize this may be frustrating.

This issue might occur, if there is an issue with hardware and drivers.

Before proceeding further, I would like to ask few questions:

• 
  Are you referring to HP Pavilion Laptop or Desktop?
  
• 
  Did you try reaching BIOS using external keyboard (if you are using Laptop)?
  

Please follow below mentioned methods to resolve the issue:

Method 1:
If you are using HP Pavilion
Laptop.

Please Connect to External keyboard and try below mentioned steps:

• Restart Laptop and click any function keys
  Like F2, F10, ESC, or DEL key to begin the BIOS Setup.
  
• Look for a tab in the BIOS Setup Utility that is labeled
  Boot Order, Boot Options, or Boot. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the
  Boot Order, then press Enter.
• Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press
  Enter. The boot order sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
• Press F10 to save your changes and to
  exit the BIOS Setup Utility. Select Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart. Allow the PC to restart normally. The scan will take a few minutes and remove any malware that may be infecting your computer.
• Now, download Windows 10 from below link.https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
• From above link, navigate to option “Using media creation tool”->”Perform a clean installation using USB or DVD” and follow steps from
  step 3.

Note: Clean Installation will delete all your files and programs.

Method 2:
If you are using HP Pavilion Desktop.

If you are having spare keyboard, connect to your desktop and check if that works.

If the issue still persists, please contact the HP support for further assistance with the issue. Refer to below link to contact HP support.

Disclaimer:

• 
  Be careful when changing BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it's possible to change a setting that could prevent your computer from starting correctly.
  
• 
  Updating BIOS should only be done if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperable. Be sure
  to follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly.
  

Please get back to us, if you are still facing issue with Windows 10.

Thank you.

 

Re: All boot options are tried...

Hi Elda,

If the boot sequence didn't work, then we suggest try running the laptop in safe mode. To do this, here's a few steps to follow:

• Power down your laptop.
• Turn it back on again.
• When you turn it back on, press F8 repeatedly until the power on option appeared.
  
• If you see the boot option "Safe Mode with Networking", choose that option.
• See if you can boot up in Safe mode.

We'll look forward to your response.

 

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.
