    Updated today, unable to boot, refer to BIOS.


    WIN 10 Pro 1903+
    Ok, so I updated it to the latest updates today, everything went well till I was asked to restart PC.

    On restart it could not load Windows 10 Pro, nothing just a message, press F1, same thing twice around with reboots, bad situation.

    So I decide to switch it off. (Internet disconnected)
    -Switcth on, now it ask me to do a repair, yes..., no mention of no bootable thing.
    -So it did a repair, then suddenly it continued with installing the some of the updates procedures, similar as what usually happens.
    -So I did that, and after a while it was restored, I logged in, all seems ok. resterted twice, ok.
    -Reconnect to internet, updated fully accept one windows Defender antivirus update(small)
    -Restarted it twice again staying connected to internet, no problems, updated fully, all seems ok, nothing missing it seems.

    Does what happened here sounds fimliliar, or any guess as to what happened, I never experience a non bootable drive on this PC.-?

    :)

  2. Windows stuck in automatic repair; Can't access BIOS/ boot menu

    I've changed the boot order through both BIOS and the boot manager, as my original post stated. Neither did anything, but both were functional in the past. Neither listed the windows boot manager, either. Previously, it would boot just as expected whenever
    other media was set as the first option, so I'm pretty sure there are no issues there.

    As my original post suggested, I've already tried out the steps you gave. I've gone through all the options listed in the boot menu, UEFI or not.

    My BIOS and boot menu settings were at their defaults when all of this started, so that's been tried already, if those are what you're referring to.

    Alienware Area 51 m15x BIOS Update Released

    If you were among the group of people experiencing overheating issues with your Alienware Area 51 m15x laptop, then there are some good news for you. A new BIOS update, version X29b P3A30 is now available. The update allegedly allows VGA fans to increase up to 5400 rpm and thus better cool the GPU. To obtain the new BIOS, you'll need to email the m15x support line (L: Area51_m15x@alienware.com). In reply you should receive a link to the BIOS .zip archive. Once you download the small file, Alienware recommends to follow the steps described in the Read full story marker.



    Open Nero Ultra Edition, click Backup, and then click “Burn Image to Disc.” Next, select the file “m15x_x29b.iso from the unzipped folder.

    • Plug your AC adapter in
    • Disconnect all third-party peripherals
    • Don’t turn off the computer or restart it during the update
    • Don’t eject your DVD/Blu-ray drive during the update.
    Steps:
    • Open BIOS by tapping F12 during boot
    • Set BIOS to boot from your CD-ROM drive first
    • Save and exit
    • Upon reboot, the BIOS flash update will proceed
    • Click “Yes” through the prompts
    • Restart

    Unable to boot to BIOS

    I am having problems unable to boot to the BIOS on a HP laptop even after trying (Esc & F9). I have put the Windows 10 ISO on a DVD and the CD drive will not load it. All I can get to is the splash screen for HP and the Troubleshooting screen. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
