I have a dell XPS that has had a boot issue since I re-installed windows on it on a new HDD. long story let me describe what is going on - I'm not sure what to set the UEFI BIOS boot location to - when I set it to what I think is the windows location it works for a while until the next update - and then it breaks again in this way:
So I have been living with this issue as I don't reboot every day. But for Windows 11 upgrade, now the recovery environment only shows the option to roll back to windows 10 so I can't upgrade.
I have tried the Visual BCD tool and other power tools with no success up to now. And all the recovery console commands to repair BCD etc. Nothing has been a persistent fix which survives a windows update.
Any suggestions besides a complete wipe and re-install? one more thing - I did move the recovery partition manually from Dell's original HDD to my SSD.
- Computer fails to find windows upon boot, displays blue error screen - with either otption to go into BIOS or boot to recovery.
- When I choose recovery, system reboots and eventually loads up recovery environment. I choose english language, and then the menu shows an option to boot into windows.
- Choosing this option, system boots just fine and I can work just fine
