Sounds like maybe you are infected I would scan it with malwarebytes
and a good antivirus.
It could also be some HP software that's set to start up which doesn't like you
changing it

Slave the drive in another computer, or use an enclosure. Scan it with an antivirus, and then malwarebytes. Remove what it finds. Put the drive back in the computer. Download to a thumb drive on a clean computer, Combofix. Only download it from Bleeping computer.com. Install on infected computer and run. Make sure you have an internet connection when you run. Follow the instructions it provides. When its all done removing nasties, reboot and run the antivirus and Malwarebytes again.
