Stuck in Automatic Repair Loop after reinstalling Windows

[solamon77]

I recently installed an M.2 SSD into my Alienware Aurora R6 and reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch onto it. The operating system installed as normal, but whenever I reboot my computer, I get kicked into Automatic Repair. If I jam on the F12 button and manually boot from the hard drive I installed windows to (HDD2 - the M.2 SSD), it boots into Windows fine. I'm pulling my hair out here. How can I get this to stop? Isn't there anyway to have Windows Boot Manager automatically select the correct hard drive?

On a side note, there is no way for me to just select the boot hard drive from BIOS. I have to select Windows Boot Manager.

Anyone know what to do?

are there any other drives in PC? Did they ever have windows on them? Its possible there is another drive listed in the windows boot manager

try this
remove all drives except the m.2
change boot order so USB is first, ssd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
We need to use the Bootrec.exe tool. Click on command prompt and type in the following commands, one after the other:
bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /fixMbr
bootrec /fixboot
Exit
Now go ahead and reboot your system. In some cases you may need to run some additional commands.
bootsect /nt60 SYS or bootsect /nt60 ALL

that should rebuild the record in the windows boot manager and stop it looking in the wrong place at boot

once it boots from m.2 easily, readd other drives as they shouldn't be in listing now.
