Hello everyone,

I'm facing an issue with my PC where it won't boot, and I'm getting a `winload.efi` missing error. Here's a detailed summary of what I've done so far to troubleshoot the problem:

### Issue
- My PC won't boot due to a `winload.efi` missing error.

### Steps Taken
1. **Checked BIOS/UEFI Settings**:
- Disabled Secure Boot.
- Ensured the boot mode is set to UEFI.
- Confirmed the USB drive is set as the primary boot device.

2. **Recreated Bootable USB**:
- Used the Windows Media Creation Tool to create a new bootable USB drive.

3. **Tested the boot USB on the other computer and it worked there**

4. **Checked for Hardware Issues**:
- Re-seated RAM, Nvme, 2 HDD and GPU.
- Ensured all connections are secure.

8. **Used Different USB Ports**:
- Tried different USB ports on the problematic PC.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists.

Any suggestions or additional troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

I hate windows...
It's the virtual TPM option in the bios, turning it off makes the error go away...
