Usually, this would be a result of Fast Startup enabled.
Switch it off from the Power Options in Windows. If I am not wrong, some laptops have a similar setting (not same) enabled in BIOS as Fast Boot. For dual booting it is advisable to switch that off too.
For disabling fast startup, follow these solution 1 steps
For disabling fast boot, you'll have to access bios, find the the Fast Boot and disable it, then save and exit. Now I am not sure how to access the BIOS on HP machines but it is usually one of F10, F2, F12, F1, or DEL.
