Windows 10: Probably shut down my PC during an update and now it doesnt boot

Last night before going to sleep I clicked the update and shutdown button on my pc, turned off the monitor and got into bed. My pc waites for a minute for what I assumed was it installing the update and then switched off - only to subsequently switch back on again. With the monitor off and me half-asleep I assumed that I had clicked update and restart instead and hard shutdown my pc by the power button. Cut to today when I try to boot my computer only to receive the dreaded "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" message.How do I go a

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.

 

My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix
