To resolve this problem, here are the steps to follow:

If the result fails, you need to contact your nearest HP service center for further instructions on how to get a replacement hard drive. If the result passes, your hard drive is working fine, so proceed to the next step.
  • Press the Power button to restart your laptop. If the error message still shows, move to the next step.
  1. Fix the Master Boot Record.

Commonly used by a laptop or PC to boot the Windows operating system, the Master Boot Record is embedded in the hard drive. If it becomes corrupt, your laptop likely won’t start. Don’t worry, though. Whenever you purchase an HP netbook or laptop, it usually comes with an Operating System Disk, which can be used to fix the Master Boot Record.

Follow these instructions to fix a damaged MBR:

  • Insert the Windows Operating System Disc into the optical DVD or CD drive.
  • Restart your laptop.
  • Once your laptop starts up, you will be asked to Boot from CD. Just press the Enter
  • You should be taken to the Windows Setup Here, press the R key to launch the Recovery Console.
  • Type FIXMBR at the available field and then press Enter to continue.

Windows 10/11 has a reset feature that allows you to repair your laptop by reinstalling the operating system. This feature is quite handy for recovery because it reinstalls the Windows 10/11 operating system while preserving your customization settings and personal data.

When reinstalling the operating system, you have two options. If Windows 10/11 is loading correctly, you can perform a Windows 10/11 system reset in Windows. If it doesn’t start up properly, you can perform a Windows system reset through Windows Recovery Environment.

  1. Seek help from experts at HP service centers.

If you already did steps 1, 2, and 3 but the error still shows, you have to visit the nearest HP service center for further assistance.

Errors on HP Laptop with KB4467702 #2: HP Laptop Blocked on Windows Repair Screen

This is a common problem among HP laptops that have downloaded the recent KB4467702 update.

To fix the problem, drain the flea power by following the instructions below:

  • Disconnect the adapter and battery.
  • Long-press the Power button for about 30 seconds.
  • The flea power should be all cleared now.
