Windows 10: My bios doesnt show any usable bootdrives for Windows but still boots?

Hello, So basically my Bios tells me, there are no bootable devices, but as soon as i disable all boot options from my bios and select no bootdevice, my pc starts normally into Windows 10??? it just show a blinking underscore for about 2 seconds on the top left of the screen and then proceeds to start windows normally, although no boot device was selected nor available. I want to enable secure boot so i can upgrade to windows 11 sometime later, but my bios says there are no bootable devices. ive already tried using Bootrec /RebuildBcd by using the repair tool provided by the Windows 10 install

:)

 

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.

 

3rd partition doesn't show on list at boot.

It can be done by running setup.exe from the sources folder of the mounted/extracted installation media.





select the edition

select custom and it tells you that can't partition during setup, you need to have the target partition ready before going to the next step.



That has been available since Vista. However, for enthusiats who want to select their own osletter and other fiddling about, the apply method is preferable.
