Windows 10: unknown error during booting process

Suddenly, after working for many years without problems, during booting a Bios window appears with: please enter setup to recover BIOS setting. Press F1 to run Setup.
Pressing F1 brings you in the Bios. After not changing anything, booting continues without problems. Everything works as it should be. Apparently, an error occuring during the boot process has no influence on the performance.
After restart, the F1 message is not presented; after shutting down for some hr, the F1 message is presented again. I set the Bios on default values: F1 message remains.

It might be the CMOS battery, but date/time are correct.
I could disable in the Bios: Wait for F1 if error detected, but that does not seem a clever solution.
So: is there a way to retrieve what error is detected in the boot process?
Could it be the CMOS battery, despite correct date/time readings.
Any other suggestion?

Error: No work available to process

Hmm. Either it's put out errors and WCG is limiting the work units available, or the project list may not be set to supply other WU when one runs out. (if the problem lies here and not on your end)

On the options to your left, if you go into Results Status, select the computer from Device Name and then look through results see if either they were returned late, errors or any other kind of issue that would stop the servers supplying WU from that perspective.

If there are no errors then it's maybe down to your project list. So selecting Device Manager from the left menu and then clicking on the profile assigned to that computer and make sure that it's assigned to receive WU for other projects if they run out.

At least those steps will rule out problems from the WCG end.

 

Windows 10 Boot process

The best explanation I have read is this link on Quora, it explains each step of the boot process in detail. While it does not list all
the files executed - this would be not be the same on different systems, it does give an in depth explanation

Another thing you might like to look up is the difference in booting a BIOS based system as opposed to a UEFI based system -
