I have an issue that occurs when I press the "on" switch for a cold start. The first time, I get the HP logo but no spinning dots. Then if I power down and press on again, I get the HP and spinning dots.
I am a fan of HP laptops and desktops. For the most, I am and have been really satisfied, but they have their faults, too.
My current HP ProBook 470 G5 laptop for instance, it occasionally acts as you have described. A cold boot, I might have only the HP logo showing for a minute or longer, then suddenly the laptop boots normally.
My suggestion is to wait. Let the device stay turned on, do not press the power button in at least a minute or two, and see if it finally starts.
