I'm going to try some of the things that you guys suggested now.

Well, I figured out what was wrong. It took all of about 2min. of investigation, LOLz. I just never took the time to try to figure it out because it really didn't bother me to press F1.

Thanks for the help guys!

 

Press F1 to continue!

When I start my computer I have to press F1 to get it to start. Does anyone know what this means or do I need to give more info? I just wanted to see if anyone knew what it was before I got more info, so I wouldn't have to turn off my computer.

 

Problem in booting getting error : getting "the selected boot device failed. Press <enter> to continue".

Hi Pritesh,

I would be happy to assist you.

Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

• 
  What is the make and model of your device?
  
• 
  What is the complete error message/ error code of this issue?
  
• 
  Have you connected any external devices other than mouse and keyboard?
  

Before going with the troubleshooting steps, I would like to inform you that the issue could also be caused due to outdated Basic Input Output system (BIOS) or chipset drivers. I would suggest you to visit the manufacturer’s
website to download and install the latest BIOS and chipset drivers.

BIOS Disclaimer:

Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from
the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

If you are able to boot to the desktop screen, I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: As a workaround I suggest you to unplug all the external devices connected to your computer, hard reboot the device and check with the status of this issue.

If the issue still persists, try the below troubleshooting steps as the boot files of current operating system might got corrupted.

Method 2: I suggest you to download Windows 10 ISO file, create an installation media from other working computer to perform Startup Repair of the computer that you are
unable to boot.

Using ISO file to perform Startup Repair will allow the device to boot the system to Windows Recovery Environment and tries to repair the device.

Step 1:
I suggest you to try Startup Repairing the Windows and check if it helps.

Download the Windows 10 ISO and create a Media Creation tool and then perform Startup Repair.

Refer to the following link: Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

(Refer to the section "Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool” in the above article for creating the tool).

Step 2: After creating Installation Media, perform Startup Repair.

I would like to inform that, if your Windows 10 is not able to boot or startup, Startup Repair will come into action and try to diagnose and fix the issue. It will scan system files, registry settings, configuration settings
and more and try to fix the problem on its own, automatically.

Perform the Startup Repair:

• When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be
  F12.
• The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
• Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the
  Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to
  CD\DVD ROM.
• After you boot your computer using Windows 10 DVD, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
• Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
• Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner
• Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and then click
  Startup Repair.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of booting the operating system to desktop for further assistance. We will be
happy to help you.

Thank you.
