I clicked on that, selected the Windows Boot Manager on my Crucial SSD, exited and it successfully booted to Windows 10 again! However, UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities was set to DISABLED. My SSD was at the top of the FIXED BOOT ORDER Priorities. At this point I went back to the Settings\Boot menu in the BIOS. I removed the USB and rebooted but it went back to the same MSI BIOS.ħ. Checking advice online, I formatted that partition and then did bcdboot C:\Windows, and it reported as successful. Listing the partitions was also fine, and I could see the SYSTEM partition of 100MB. I booted off the USB drive and went to the command line. I left my PC unplugged over night to see if the CMOS battery was dead, but the settings and time were OK when I plugged it back in this morning.Ħ. Next I checked for Windows restore points but it couldn't find any (I confirmed later that I had many different restore points so this was really weird).ĥ. I went into the options and tried to do a repair but it failed to repair Windows. I changed the boot order and plugged in the recovery USB. I created a bootable recovery USB for Windows 10.Ĥ. Disk checks and data transfers off of the drive were perfect and reported no issues. I suspected an issue with my SSD, so (just to be sure) I removed it and attached it via an external dock to another PC. I shutdown, reseated the memory, ensured all SATA cables were secured, etc. All SATA drives that are plugged in are showing in the list of devices, including my main SSD. All good but problem persists and the PC goes directly to the MSI BIOS after attempting to boot into Windows.Ģ.

I rebooted multiple times, removed all peripherals and other drives, disabled fast boot, and made sure that my SSD with Windows 10 was selected at the top of the UEFI boot order. I managed to fix the problem, but I don't fully understand why that option worked, so I'm seeking some input from here.ġ. There were no error messages displayed on screen that I could see. After that reboot my PC would immediately go to the BIOS and wouldn't start Windows. I had a problem come up yesterday evening where my PC (specs below) completely froze (except for moving the mouse around the screen - couldn't do anything else) and I had to do a hard reboot.
