Today, Microsoft confirmed that HP keyboard driver (version 11.0.3.1) with compatibility issues on Windows 10 versions 1803 and 1809 was recently pushed out to some HP devices and it resulted in a blue screen error.

if you rebooted and blue screened, go into advance recovery options/command prompt, go to c:windowssystem32drivers and look for the HpqKbFiltr.sys file and delete it, (type del HpqKbFiltr.sys and press enter, exit command prompt , reboot and all is well.
how about if the HpqKbFiltr.sys is not in the folder?
then you either don't have the update, or you are on the boot recovery volumes windowssystem32drivers dir, make sure your on C: first,
