    My PC stopped booting to C: drive and now boots to Boot Manager


    This morning i woke up and turned on my computer to start on my schoolwork and realized that my PC didnt boot properly. Instead of booting from my normal C: drive, my PC booted to Windows Boot Manager. I can access all the data from my C: drive but when the PC starts up now it says “Preparing Windows” and then lets me sign in to my account. Once i sign in it says “couldn’t sign in to your Microsoft Account.” Which doesnt make sense because i just signed into my computer. My normal wallpaper has been reverted to the standard Windows 10 wallpaper as well. If i go into the BIOS and try to boot directly to the C: drive i get an error message that says something like “connect proper boot drive and restart.” I have no idea how this happened. Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    Boot Emergency!

    No it doesnt show. Only my OS drive.

    Its there and it says it running and normal.

    Anyway I just had the same boot problem on reboot. Everything was fine 10 minutes ago. Now it wont boot without my manually selecting the drive.

    Windows Booting beep!!

    Check the boot order in the BIOS also, it might not have the hard drive as primary in the boot list.

    Windows boot manager

    There could be some system conflict triggered after the said changes. To help you with your concern, we suggest that you perform a clean boot. A
    clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This will help to determine what is causing the issue on the Windows boot manager. To do this, click on this
    link and scroll down to the
    How to determine what is causing the problem by performing a clean boot section then follow the steps listed..

    Note: If the installation is successful and the issue has been resolved. Please go through the section “How to reset the computer to start as usual” to reset your computer to the normal startup.

    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested steps.
