Windows 10: Why does my boot option keep changing every time I power off?

Every time I turn on my PC it has changed the boot option and no longer boots without wanting the Windows 10 USB starter and taking 25 minutes to get going! This started 3 days ago and I can't get into my PC without having to change the options list every time. If I change it back to the hard drive I want it to start with, it sometimes works but takes about 10 minutes for it to sort itself out. Then it wants to do an update though system says it is up to date, and back to square 1 after automatically powering off due to update! This is driving me insane. What is happening with Windows 1

Re: All boot options are tried...

Hi Elda,

If the boot sequence didn't work, then we suggest try running the laptop in safe mode. To do this, here's a few steps to follow:

• Power down your laptop.
• Turn it back on again.
• When you turn it back on, press F8 repeatedly until the power on option appeared.
  
• If you see the boot option "Safe Mode with Networking", choose that option.
• See if you can boot up in Safe mode.

We'll look forward to your response.

 

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.
