There is the chance to re-install to factory settings, by pressing F11 as you start up, and follow through as directed from there.
However, sometimes this recovery plays up, if it does I would suggest using this method byDavid PK (A HP EXPERT)-as copied from his answer
I have not tried it myself, as I have had no previous need to. So I cannot guarantee it, but it makes sense, as the recovery partition has a different code to the windows active one, and activating it should start it up.

If you can still boot in to Windows, hold down the Windows Key and press R. Into the Run Box type compmgmt.msc and hit enter. Click Disk Management in the left pane and when the partitions have loaded, right click the Recovery Partition and mark it as 'Active'. Close all open windows and then restart - if this has worked, the notebook will boot from the Recovery Partition upon restart.
