Windows 10: Random "no boot device found" error, laptop starts fine however, 4th time this has happened...

So like since 2021, I've annually gotten this "no boot device found" error that occurs at random times, mainly at night when I leave the laptop on. This is the first time this year this has happened, and it happened last year, and also the year prior, Shutting down and restarting the laptop boots it as normal, and everything is okay then. Should I be alarmed, or did my laptop simply do this due to a non-severe failure?

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.
