Here's one for you, I'm basically stuck here:
I have an i7-8xxx ThinkPad E580 with 32GB RAM, 250GB NVMe disk and 500GB Samsung Evo850 SSD.
It has worked excellently with Windows 10 Pro v. 2004 until today. Upon starting it today, nothing happened.
I therefore used a USB-stick with Windows Installation media (Win 10-2004) but the only thing that happens is the pc shuts down after the Windows logo and the spinner wheel has spun for appx 5 seconds.
I can access BIOS, no problems there. I can boot with MemTest 86+, no problems with memory and it does not shut down. I have run all extensive tests from BIOS, and they all Green PASS.
I subsequently installed the latest version of Ubuntu to test if that would work, alas with no problems at all, everything works just fine. I know, I should probably just stay in Ubuntu-mode, but Windows 10 still wins on most accounts as far as apps/software goes.
Does anybody out there have an incling as to what is going on in the Pad's mind? I have been through all various settings in BIOS with Secure boot on and off, UEFI, Legacy, CSM on and off etc. At no avail. Cleared all security keys, no change whatsovever. Still, Ubuntu boots just fine and dandy...
Any and all tips will be digitally remunerated with a virtual beer (or indeed whatever takes your fancy in a bar).
EDIT: I should add that I have also tried with Windows 10 1903 and 1909, with no results whatsoever.
