Hello.
Supposedly my computer was not able to update windows by itself since September. So today I manually updated it through the Microsoft Windows website. After running the updater, to make a long story short, upon startup I am hit with the "Reboot and Select proper boot device" message as if I had not installed Windows entirely. Here's what I have figured out so far:
-I booted from both my SSD and HDD and both had the same message.
-I used my boot USB (from when I first built the PC) to see if it was needed for update but it only prompted a clean installation of windows
-At one point throughout all of my restarting PC/shutting off pc etcetc, the normal blue boot screen showed up for windows update saying "this may take a while, your computer may restart a few times" as if everything was working normally. But as soon as it restarted once, it went back to the same error message.
Will I end up having to completely reinstall windows again? And will it be up to date this time or am I missing something obvious?
Many thanks.
