    After install, 1st boot always fails, retry succeeds


    I recently purchased a Dell Latitude E6430, which is exhibiting a rather odd problem. I removed the included 5400RPM 500GB hard drive and replaced it with an SSD. The first Windows 10 installation attempt failed with a message to the effect that there were no bootable partitions. Following some online advice, I reset the BIOS (which switched from legacy to UEFI mode) and tried to reinstall. This got me further.

    Now at first boot, I see a prompt that says "No bootable devices" followed by a prompt to hit F1, F2 or F5. Hitting F1 tries to boot again - and the second attempt succeeded. The laptop booted up and I was able to complete setup.

    But now every time the laptop boots, I'm presented with this annoying prompt. So far hitting F1 to retry boot has always succeeded. Not sure what the problem might be. I tried "cleaning" the disk once with BOOTPART from the recovery shell, but that did not improve the problem once Win10 was re-installed.

    Any other suggestions?

    :)

    Windows Updates always fail then immediately succeed???

    Whenever Windows Updates are downloaded and installed, they always fail on first try and then immediately succeed on the second. This is what appears in the update history list. Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening? Not a big issue, but
    annoying and clutters up the history list.

    After install, 1st boot always fails, retry succeeds

    KB4025339 Fails Install 0x80070564


    Thanks
    I am trying Eagle 51's suggestions now. Windows Update troubleshooter found a bunch of errors and fixed all but one.The update is trying to download KB4025339 again. I'll see what happens. At step one troubleshooter finishes with one error unresolved "Potential Windows Update Database Error Detected-Not Fixed". Windows update stalled at 0%.

    At step 2 same troubleshooter error. The KB finished a new download failed to install.
    Did step 3 KB has downloaded but fails to install.

    If Eagle's suggestion doesn't work I'll try EdTittel's suggestion

    Tried bothe Eagle & Ed 's suggestions - do not work. Anyone else?

    I have noticed that the latest update for my nvidia drivers has failed to update. Wondering about that!
