  1. Windows 10 default boot device missing or boot failed


    Hello i recently bought a new lenovo laptop and i had to do the updates for it. Well i see that at first the 2004 windows 10 update was being held back due to compatibility issues so i waited for the update to be made available. It became available a few days later and then my pc started getting the blue screen and it crashed it with the critical process died then proceeded to reboot but instead of booting back up the computer says default boot device missing or boot failed. Im no expert so i could use help trying to fix this error or at least trying to uninstall the 2004 update and see if that fixes my computer.

    :)

  2. 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..?

  3. 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 : "Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed" error message on booting the PC for the first time on Windows 10.

    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.

    Hi Dhamma,

    This type of boot issue is caused by a corrupted boot file. We'll need to perform a
    Startup Repair in order to resolve the issue. Before we perform a
    Startup Repair, we need to create a Windows 10 installation media using the Media Creation Tool. Simply follow the steps under the
    Using the tool to create installation media to install Windows 10 on a different PC section in this

    article
    . After creating an installation media, follow Pawan Dhondiyal's troubleshooting steps from this

    thread
    .

    Please respond back with the results.
