Windows 10: PXE-E53 No boot filename received error after Windows Update

My work computer running Winows 10 attempted last night to install an update, but this morning, the manager found that the process was stuck at "Choose your keyboard layout" screen. The manager clicked to choose and the computer restarted and ultimately loaded the same "choose your keyboard layout" screen. So it appears the update may not have completed.


Eventually, the computer stopped loading the "choose your keyboard" screen and instead displayed screen displaying

Rebooting system leads back to the same PXE-E53 again and again. We don't know how to escape the loop and actually boot.

PXE-E53: No boot file name received

When cold starting new laptop, I get the following:

Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Series v2.61 (01/07/15)

Client MAC ADDR ** ** ** ** ** ** GUID:********-****-****-****-************

PXE-E53: No boot filename received

PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM.

Then about one minute later, the machine boots and I have Windows 10

My question is how to I eliminate the above so I can get a faster boot.

What I did to new PC is take SSD drive from old laptop and installed in new laptop.

New laptop has dual drives, so I canged BIOS from UEFI to Legacy and boot order so new laptop would boot from my installed

SSD which has windows 10 pro, better than factory installed win 10.

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

PXE-E53: No boot filename received when installing windows from USB

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and I've downloaded Windows 10 and put the .iso file on a usb drive. I've updated my BIOS to UEFI and chose to boot from the USB. I'm getting the following error:

PXE-E53: No boot filename received

Most of the help that I've found while researching this is for when the error happens in existing windows systems, and seems to point to an issue with my USB drive, but I'm not clear what that issue is.

Is there a way to fix this error?

My monitor shows this when I open my computer (i7 processor and only the default hard drive on windows 10)
