HP Envy: start

At startup, I have to choose the operating systems 7 or 8.1. I don't have windows 7 on the copmputer (has two systems installed at the same time). I was told to get rid of the unwanted system erase the sisk is on what I did. The system is gone, but I still choose and as System 7 comes first and I walk it tries to initiate a system that isn't londer it. I want to know is how can I get rid of the choice of systems at startup?

Thank you

  • HP dv6 Envy: START

    My PC came with windows 8, but later I installed windows 8.1 which worked fairly well. My windows update and windows Defender ran normal until about 4 months ago that the two could not be updated. Later, I caught a virus that will not stop me from using it anyway. The biggest problem now it that whenever I start it the answer I get is "boot device not found. Hard disk 3F0 ". But if I enable legacy support in the BIOS it starts normal and if I go back to my default BIOS settings I get the same answer. What should I do? However, the laptop's diagnostic test of memory and hard drive. pls I need help.

    Just leave the setting at the legacy.

  • HP Envy: System recovery process

    I've recently encountered problems with my machine HP Envy starts is not on Windows 10.  After many attempts to make it work, I finally gave up and decided to restore the device to factory settings by using the system recovery USB stick I created.  The machine was bought with windows 8, and I have upgraded to windows 10 before creating the system recovery disk.  Not sure if it is a factor or not.

    The recovery process has failed three times.  He could get to the final step to restart the machine after copying the files on the hard drive and just hang out.  Finally on the fourth attempt that it seemed to work, since I have done to the Windows login screen (it looks like a Windows 8 connection for me).

    My problem is that the Windows login screen goes straight to the 'user', and asked a username / password.  I expect since I restore to factory settings it would allow me to create a new user, but this option is not available.  The only sign in options must use a local account (and of course there is no account since it is now a new machine), or to log in using my Microsoft account.  Neither work.  Very frustrating.

    Someone has experienced this problem when you perform a restore to the factory settings?

    Is there anyway to connect as long as administrator on a new machine so I can create a user?

    It is a known problem that doesn't happen very often.

    I have recommended to perform the recovery of images an other factory.

  • Want H8-1534: could not start HP Envy H8-1534 pc after Windows update 10, 1607

    Windows 10 has made automatically update 1607 (KB3176936) on the pc of my wife (HP Envy H8-1534) about 6 days ago. Since then I could not start the pc the first time I turn it on.

    When I hit the power button on the monitor lights up with the HP logo on black screen as usual but the loading icon (spinning points) does not start. Fans start, but there is no activity on the Tower in the way of flashing lights or beep sounds. If I turned off the pc by using the power button, wait 10 seconds and turn on again, the pc will start up as normal. So far, for the last 6 days, it took the 2nd attempt so that it starts the pc every time. It almost seems as if there are not able to go to the system except for the fans in this first attempt to start.

    I ran a test at startup by pressing the F2 key without no problems found. I disabled the SATA power management in the BIOS. I ran the Windows startup with no result repair. Here are the results of the txt file.

    I researched all the possibilities. I fear that this could begin to worsen. Any help will be appreciated.

    I understand you are looking for assistance for the recovery of the BIOS by using the shortcut, or by using a USB key. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Here are two documents for you to check. Of course, the first is specific to desktop computers and covers the shortcut key. The other property that for laptops also includes a section on the use of a USB device.

  • HP envy Phoenix: win 7 does not start with connected external hard drive

    I have a desktop HP Envy Phoenix with i7 chip and an SSD for the OS.  If I connect via USB external drive of 3 TB WD for the backup of the system does not start while it is attached.  The pc seems to be trying to boot from the outside, can't find the OS and does not start.  It will start fine with small external drives connected.  It is the size of the disk? Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello

    The WD drives seem to pose problems of my potential.  I have used other brands such as Seagate and Hitachi without running into problems with external USB drives causing the system to boot.  Maybe it's the USB adapter that I use which does not cause starting problems.

    @tpetras

    I used the adapter HP USB 3, which uses drivers NEC or TI and has never had a problem starting via a USB external (non - WD) readers.

  • Envy 17 j120na: 10 Windows will not start because of the driver installation failed

    History:

    I have a computer laptop j120na Envy 17 that came with windows 8.1.

    I did the free upgride for windows 10 the 18th of this month with success, but because I was not able to decrease or increase the brightness of my computer, or put it to sleep, I realized that I still had to download/update drivers. First I updated the driver GeForce since my SWsetup folder but for the other, I searched online for her, then I saw the driver download progress bar but no progress has been made. I closed the dialog close and there you go, laptop does not start, I just saw a spark between the mouse pointer and the circular blue contraption. Sometimes he shows me a BSOD with lock core auto boost with irql higher acquisition.

    Question:

    Is this a problem with the driver installation? And if so, how do I return it?

    P.s: System Restore is not an option, I restore point.

    Hi there @Aj1baba,

    Thank you for joining the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is a great place to ask questions, find solutions and assistance of HP and the community! I read your post on the Forums of HP Support. I wanted to join you and help! I understand that you are receiving an error message that says "acquisition of lock core auto boost with irql high ' on your HP ENVY 17-j120na Notebook PC.

    The question could be deemed to occur by downloading the update. It is difficult to say at this stage. As to return to it, your best bet would have been the restoration of the system, but you mentioned only that a system restore does not work because you do not have restore points.

    Have you tried to go into Safe Mode?

    You have media or recovery disk?

    Have you tried to do a Reset BIOS?

    Have you tried perform a hard reset?

    You have beep codes or flashing LEDs?

    Please ensure that all Bluetooth device that you use with the laptop is disabled (including mobile phone).

    Please note: delete all USB/Bluetooth devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    You can update all your drivers by going to the Web site the driver HP or by using the HP Support Assistant. If you enter Safe Mode, I suggest trying to erase the driver that you have downloaded your downloads (or the folder that you saved it in), so I suggest to make updates using updates of Windows or HP Support Assistant for now.

  • HP ENVY 17 Leap Motion SE: Dual boot Windows 10 with 8.1 - Start menu screen does not always watch.

    I bought the full version of Windows 10 House because I want to keep my factory installed Win 8.1 x 64 and dual boot with the new OS.

    Installation went without problems - on a partition separated after the reduction of the C: partition by default, but when I restart my PC, start menu does not always appear for make me decide which system to choose and the computer boots directly to Windows 8.1.  I even turned off "time to display list of operating systems" when Windows 10 is selected by default OS, but when I turn off my PC for a short period and put back on, I am greeted by Windows 8.1

    Could be a bios or partition related question? Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    Workaround1 led display start menu classic that works, but disappears again, after closing down. When I turn on the computer, the last used OS is loaded, without the menu. If I do a restart and not close, the menu is back...

    (......)
    The start menu is not displayed, but at least the OS startup time is faster.

    Hello

    Thank you for posting this and for letting me know it now works for you (which is acceptable to you).

    In fact, what you describe above is not a bug, but it should. This is because Microsoft has changed a bit the boot process and the stop function since Win 8 (which means Windows 8, 8.1 and now 10). Instead of the stop full as in Windows XP, Vista, 7, Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 (when he is chosen to turn off) will stop, but closing them is a kind of hibarnation. For this reason, what describe you above is going on (he begins the latest OS because it was really completely out).  Full done restart restarts and it meets the place where the OS is selected.

    More information-> http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/how-windows-8-hybrid-shutdown-fast-boot-feature-works/

    This mode ensures a faster start-up (on cause of so-called half restart).

    A workaround for this (works on Win 8, 8.1 and should also work on Win 10):

    When I run the diagnostic test on the hard drive get a smart error RU5WJO-6K27T-QFPK1F-60AD03 id C1w33EA #ABU

    Finally I have to start, but a few times I had a no device found startup, but only once did I need to reinstall windows 10

    can any body advise on what means this error code and should I look for to replace the hard drive

    concerning

    er65

    HERE IS THE MANUAL for this PC.  Replace hard drive starts on page 48, but indicated that 56 in the area of the manual drive.

    In this same page 100 reported in the box as 108 States "light up the computer or restart the computer, quickly press ESC, then press F10.  This is part of the BIOS information.

    The set of recovery disks will be back as 'new plant' just as it came when new.  No other software is required.  If M$ Office has been installed, maybe check if the disk key and products are always available.

    To the extent where the SSD, do not have the recovery disk set up to automatically accept that in the PC when you run the recovery disk set.  You can try, but I expect to say that the computer has changed and he does not meet the conditions to use the set of recovery disks.

    When I press the power button, it turns on for about 5 seconds then dies again. Absolutely Nothing appeared on the screen, not even a flicker.

    I have tried those doing hard reset stuff like by pressing the power button for 20 seconds, the power button / stop + mute all these and nothing do not seem to work? What should I do? Its only a few days old!

    It turns out that it is a manufacturing defect. Application of a new replacement unit (5 days only), technician says probably motherboard problem. Thanks anyway!
