Windows 10: Ran update, now laptop won't book - message: default boot device missing or boot failed

A couple of days ago I restarted my laptop to run a windows update. Seems to have failed, now the laptop won't boot and all I get is the message 'default boot device missing or boot failed'. Is there anything I can do or is it now dead?

Default boot device is missing or boot failed

Good evening,

I have a trouble with my other cumputer. Indeed, yesterday, it suddenly crashed and restart. It tried to do an update. After my pc power off, I, obviously, restart it.

However, I had directly this message (just after logo of ACER) : "Default boot device is missing or boot failed" like my Windows 10 was not installed or corrupted.

So, at the moment, I tried to follow this solution : Redirecting

However, after downloadind and running MediaCreationTool on my USB key, when I try to boot on my key on my unfunctionnal pc, it does not work. I still have this message.

I want to precise that I put my USB in first place of my list of boots (in BIOS menu).

Any helps would be really appreciated.

Thanks you in advance.

Best regards,

Aurélien

EDIT: I precise also that I put "Boot mode" on "UEFI". I could fix it on "Legacy" but I guess it won't be usefull in my situation.

 

Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.

I’m using a Acer Aspire v5-573PG Windows 10 version and whenever I turn on the laptop it shows

“Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.

Insert Recovery Media and Hit any key

Then Select ‘Boot Manager’ to choose a new Boot Device or to Boot Recovery Media”.

My laptop’s screen is all cracked up and the screen is opened up. Maybe that’s the problem..?

 

Default Boot Device Missing fix?

Hello Rumen, sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

The error messages you are seeing suggest that the laptop is unable to find a bootable device, which could be due to a misconfiguration in the BIOS/UEFI or a hardware issue with the storage device.

Turn off your laptop completely.

Press the power button to turn on the laptop.

Immediately start pressing the F2 key repeatedly to enter the BIOS setup.

Once you are in the BIOS/UEFI settings:

-Check the boot order to ensure that the internal hard drive or SSD is listed as the first boot device.

-Look for any settings related to storage or SATA configuration and make sure they are set correctly.

-If you see an option to load default settings (often F9), you might want to try that to reset the BIOS settings to their defaults, which can sometimes resolve boot issues.

If the storage device is not listed or if these steps do not resolve the issue, the storage device may have failed or become disconnected. In this case, you may need to contact Lenovo support or consider returning the laptop for service.
