Troubleshooting

Laptop does not power on.

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the issue persists, contact HP Support.

Wi-Fi connection is slow or unstable.

Restart your router and modem. Ensure your laptop is within range of the Wi-Fi signal. Update your Wi-Fi drivers via HP Support Assistant or Device Manager. Confirm you are connected to a Wi-Fi 6E compatible network for best performance.

Screen display is dim or has artifacts.

Adjust the screen brightness settings in Windows. Update your graphics drivers. If artifacts persist, check display settings and consider if the issue is hardware-related. Contact HP Support if necessary.

Performance is sluggish during AI tasks.

Ensure the relevant AI software is optimized for the NPU. Close unnecessary background applications. Verify that the laptop is not overheating, as performance may throttle to manage temperature. Ensure the system is running on AC power for maximum performance.

Clean the fingerprint sensor. Ensure your finger is dry and positioned correctly. Re-register your fingerprint in Windows Hello settings. Update fingerprint reader drivers if available.
