Thanks for your help and quick response.
I had ran the verifier and selected 'automatically select all drivers installed in this computer' in verifier and the laptop started crawling (95% CPU utilization etc.) besides BSOD earlier (the rar attachment contained all these). I rectified this yesterday by selecting 'delete existing setting' and the crawling of laptop stopped. I have booted twice without BSOD and I dont see AODDriver2.sys anywhere in my laptop. I have uninstalled Kaspersky as well as Malwarebytes and have switched on the Defender.
The very slow start of system is still present. I will update you after installing some HP OEM software and see if the very slow start still persists. I had deleted Qualcomm Atheros driver (WiFi and Bluetooth) as I had suspected it.
