Windows 10: PC boots to BIOS screen instead of windows

My system works very well for a few years but suddenly it cannot boot directly to windows. Here are a few points I've observed that are different then when it works normally:1. Pressing power button takes longer (around 10 seconds longer) for the power LED to light up. It also takes longer for the beep to sound.2. At the display card screen, press DEL or F2 did not bring me to the UEFI, it just didn't have any response.3. Then, even if I didn't press anything, it display the AMIBIOS screen (attached) but there is no error mentioned, only showing the h/w config (USB keyboard is 0 because I am using a PS2 KB).4. Follows it to press F1 then it bring me to the UEFI where I found nothing unusual, all h/w are detected.5. In UEFI select the boot disk to boot and it boot to windows as it normally did.
After using the PC for a while, if I reboot or shutdown and restart, it does not have this problem and go directly to windows. But if I shut it down and start it after the night, the problem appears every time. I would appreciate any help to resolve this problem or point me the direction where I can understand more. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

• You mean to say, every time you need to make changes to Boot Order in BIOS, to start your computer correctly?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

I suspect that the problem might be due to outdated BIOS update
or with Boot Configuration data. Suggest you to check for the latest BIOS update and Chipset drivers for your device hardware on Manufacturer website. If you find a new one, try to update the same to see if it correct
the issue. If problem still persist, then I suggest to rebuild Boot Configuration Data to see if it makes any difference.

Let us try to repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 Bootable media (I.e. USB or DVD) using
Media Creation Tool.
Use your computer or some other connected to Internet for creating a Bootable media (Windows 10 ISO image file). Once you're ready with Bootable Media, follow the below mentioned
steps.

• Insert the Windows installation disc in the disc drive or connect USB media, and then start the computer.
• Press a key when the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears.
  
  If your PC does not detect the media automatically
  • During the restart process, read the screen for any instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and enter the basic input/output system (BIOS) setup utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC, or DEL key to begin the BIOS Setup.
  • Look for a tab in the BIOS Setup Utility that is labeled Boot Order,
    Boot Options, or Boot. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the
    Boot Order, then press Enter.
  • Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press Enter. The boot order
    sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
  • Press F10 to save your changes and to exit the BIOS Setup Utility. Select Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart. Allow the PC to restart normally. The scan will take a few minutes and remove any malware that may be infecting your computer.
• Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.
• Click Repair your computer.
• Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click
  Next.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. Select
  Advanced Options > Command Prompt
  under Advanced Options.
• Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd, and then press
  ENTER. This command will rebuild boot configuration data if in case any issue with Boot files causing this issue.

Once you done with the above steps, see if the problem still persist.

Let us know how it went.
