Troubleshooting

Workstation fails to power on

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the workstation and a working power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Verify the power supply switch on the back of the PC is in the 'on' position.

Wi-Fi connection issues

Restart your router and the workstation. Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled in Windows settings. Update the Wi-Fi driver from the HP support website. Check for physical obstructions that may interfere with the wireless signal.

Applications not launching or crashing

Verify that the application is compatible with Windows 11 Pro and the workstation's hardware. Reinstall the application. Ensure all system drivers, especially graphics drivers, are up to date.
