3 ways to fix Windows Error Recovery on laptops
Fix 1: Remove recently added hardware
Adding hardware, for example, a new RAM module can sometimes originate Windows instability problems making your HP laptop to fail to reboot.
Use these steps to rectify whatever issues arose as a result of installing a new hardware:
Turn off your laptop and remove the AC adapter and its battery.
Disconnect the newly added device. You may have to reopen the laptop to access whatever hardware you had installed (if it was an internal addition).
Return the battery.
Turn on the laptop the usual way.
The laptop may successfully boot to the desktop and the windows recovery error message will not be redisplayed.
You can now try to reconnect the device and wait for Windows to recognize it (for an external hardware like a USB webcam).
For hardware that are installed on the motherboard, the best approach is to ensure that you are installing a compatible device and to introduce the right drivers immediately.
TIP: If you are adding more than one device, it’s advisable to connect one at a time and keep restarting the computer with each addition until you locate the device causing the error. We recommend that you ignore the device generating the error.
Skip to fix 2 if the error still shows up.
