Problems with the HP laptop may prompt a user to restore factory settings of the HP laptop computer. This may happen due to several reasons, including virus attacks or errors in the software or hardware configuration. A virus scan or repairing the registry with Reg Clean may not solve the issue. If this is the case, the only solution is to restore factory settings of the HP laptop. The factory settings can be restored using the recovery partition of the HP laptop. Before initiating the procedure all important files and data need to be backed up.

Solution
The logical step is to make a system restore (rolling back changes to factory settings).
