I'm not sure what you mean by "recovery", but this would be the procedure to return your iPad to factory settings:


How to factory reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you mean that you did this:


If you can't update or restore your iPad - Apple Support


then did you restore it using a backup? If so, try restoring it without a backup and see if it then performs normally. It's not impossible that there's a corruption that is in the backup and is just being put back.


If restoring even without a backup doesn't help, I'd recommend making an appointment at an Apple Store or authorized Apple service center and having your iPad analyzed.


Regards.
