Windows 10: Pc hp stuck in press the ESC key for startup menu

Pc hp stuck in press the ESC key for startup menu

:)

 

Pc stuck on logo screen when I try to boot into troubleshoot mode, it is stuck on “Press the ESC key for startup menu” when I press Esc nothing happens, it is getting frustrating.

I had installed some drivers from HP official website and now my PC is stuck on starting logo screen and when I try to boot into troubleshoot mode by repeatedly pressing F11, F9,ESC, etc keys is in it loads the screen and I get this option to press the ESC key for the start-up menu but nothing happens when I press the esc key.

 

press the escape key for startup menu

Never heard of using the Esc key to open the Start menu. Try the Windows key.

 

Windows 10 update and now no boot/USB startup/safe mode etc

After an automatic Windows 10 update I turned my stationary PC on, but it got stuck with the first HP log screen (shows besides HP logo "v7.13" and a text "Press ESC key for startup menu"). I tried to turn the PC off/on some times with no luck.
Then I tried to create a Windows media boot USB but the PC does not read from it. I tried to insert an old HP recovery DVD but that was not read either.
I tried to hit ESC on start which opened a screens with some information (Processor type, speed, RAM and BIOS etc. ) but no selections available. Beneath that the text "Press ESC key for startup menu" is also there. If I did the same hitting F9 the same screen appears but now with a text “Boot menu” in the lower right corner. Still no action possible.

It seems to be a serious Windows 10 update fault.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
