Windows 10: Boot Issue, Start-Up Repair Fixes Temporarily

Hello,


I have a Dell Precision 3430. I am installing Win 10 Pro via USB and, while the installation is successful, the OS fails to load upon rebooting.

Re-inserting the install USB and performing startup repair is successful, and I can get to the desktop. But, upon rebooting, no boot device is found.


I've already spent a good deal of time mucking around with the drive itself in diskpart, MiniTool Partition Wizard and the like.
In fact, I even replaced the M.2 drive with a SATA SSD, installed Windows 10 Pro onto that, and the issue remains.

No boot device found after restarting.

USB drives are always detected.

UEFI sees the hard drive, whether PCIe or SATA.

Startup repair always fixes the issue.


So.. error with the install media? motherboard issue? There's jumpers on the mobo, but the manual says they set/clear a password.

:)

 

Windows won't start or repair

Hi,

This issue may occur due to a
missing/corrupted system files. We suggest that you perform these methods
of troubleshooting steps to fix this matter:

Method 1:
Run SFC Scan.

To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.
  

This will check and run an auto-repair on the issue.

Method 2:
Run DISM Tool.

After running the
SFC scan
and the issue still persist, run the
DISM
to check the system health and to try restoring the files. To run
DISM tool, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.
  
• 
  Type the following command:
  
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /scanhealth
    
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
    

NOTE:
This might take a while to finish scanning.
Do not cancel.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

 

Windows Start issue

Try this:

Right click on your start menu, and click on System:





When the system window comes up, click on Advanced System Settings:




There, click on Startup and Recovery:




Then in the top menu you will have a choice of OSs. Select the one you want to boot to defaultly and uncheck the box for "Time to display list of operating systems."




That should make it boot into Windows 10 without your intervention.
