Question PC boot to BIOS with detected windows boot

[Xavierol1]

Just tried to turn on my computer today, nothing has changed but now when I try to boot it takes me straight to BIOS even when it says my boot #1 is “Windows Boot Manager”. Have an assessment due in 24 hours so I really need to fix this, thanks for any help.

Question - PC booting BIOS with Windows Boot #1

Hey everyone, if this question is already answered please point me in the direction because I couldn't find anything on it. Anyway my booting has been a bit weird over the last few weeks, if my PC crashes for whatever reason my Boot #1 preference in BIOS gets changed to Network for whatever...

In all honesty, if you really don't have time for troubleshooting, you should cut your losses and just reinstall your OS in order to get you back up and running.

It didn’t even try to boot to Windows, straight to BIOS, the SSD could’ve been reasonably full, I tend to try not to put much on it but I’m not totally sure. The SSD still shows up in the BIOS if that’s any help as well

Luckily my assignment got saved to my laptop too so that’s all good, if I did reinstall OS would my SSD be wiped?

if the boot#1 is on the ssd. what happened when you exit the bios?

 

[Lutfij]

Yes, it'd be a clean install. That's the suggestion I have for you considering your primary boot device is Windows Boot Manager and you're still being brought back to BIOS menu. Now that you're here, what is the make and model of your motherboard? BIOS version for said motherboard?

It’s restarts and goes straight back to bios

it looks like you're on first release...could you update your BIOS gradually till you reach the latest version?

I can try, but If it requires a USB drive I’ll have to wait until tomorrow because I need to buy a new one.

This had worked for two days but now has gone back into the BIOS loop

I saw something about unplugging all usbs, so I did that and now it boots to windows, is there a way to test which one is the one causing it other than turning my pc on and off repeatedly?

other than turning my pc on and off repeatedly?
That is how I would've suggested you approach the likely culprit peripheral. Side note, do you have external storage connected to the platform during cold boot sequences?

Did you clear the CMOS after a successful BIOS flash?
