Windows 10: Windows 11 System Not Booting

After using my PC throughout the day, I noticed an app wouldn’t open. Tried to restart, and now it will not boot. I’ve tried all the ‘fixes’ any forum has suggested besides disk/usb. I’m stuck on ‘Error code: 0xc000014c. Anyone who could shed some light on this issue would be much appreciated.

Unable to install Windows 11 on dual-boot system with openSUSE Tumbleweed

I'm trying to install Windows 11 alongside my existing openSUSE Tumbleweed installation on a Lenovo laptop. However, I'm encountering issues during the Windows 11 installation process.

When I reach the "Where do you want to install Windows?" step during the Windows 11 installation, I receive an error message stating: "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load driver." After clicking "Load driver," I get another error: "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK." followed by "To install the device driver for your drive, insert installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK. Note: the installation media can be a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive."

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot from the Windows 11 installation media (Ventoy USB drive).
   
2. Follow the prompts until reaching the "Where do you want to install Windows?" step.
   
3. The error messages mentioned above appear, preventing me from continuing the installation.
   

Expected behavior: The Windows 11 installer should recognize my storage devices (SSD and HDD) and allow me to proceed with the installation process on the desired partition or drive.

Actual behavior: The installer fails to detect any available drives or storage devices, and the error messages suggest missing or unsigned storage drivers.

Environment details:

• Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed (latest version)
  
• Kernel Version: 6.8.4-rc1-1-default
  
• Laptop Model: Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6
  
• BIOS/UEFI Version: H4CN34WW(V2.03)
  

Relevant configuration:

Attempts and research:

• I have downloaded the latest storage drivers for my Lenovo laptop model from the official Lenovo website.
  
• I have added the extracted driver files to the Ventoy USB drive alongside the Windows 11 installation files.
  

Please let me know if you need any clarification or have additional details to provide. I appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue and successfully installing Windows 11 on my dual-boot system with openSUSE Tumbleweed.

 

Secure boot isn't turning on in HP laptop (windows 11)

Hello Mohd_357,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



I understand the frustration you’re facing with Secure Boot on your HP laptop. Let’s troubleshoot this issue step by step:

1. Load HP Factory Default Keys:
   
   • Go into the BIOS settings.
     
   • Navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options.
     
   • Look for an option to Load HP Factory Default Keys. If available, select it.
     
   • Check if Secure Boot becomes available after doing this.
     
2. Disable Fast Startup:
   
   • Boot into your operating system (Windows 11).
     
   • Open Settings.
     
   • Go to Updates & Security > Recovery.
     
   • Click Restart Now under “Advanced startup.”
     
   • Wait for your PC to boot into the system recovery menu.
     
   • Select Troubleshoot and then choose Advanced options.
     
   • Finally, select UEFI Firmware Settings.
     
3. Check BIOS Mode:
   
   • Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is in UEFI mode, not legacy mode.
     
   • If your notebook’s BIOS mode is set to legacy, you won’t be able to enable Secure Boot. You may need to reinstall Windows 11 from an EFI boot source.
     
4. Reset BIOS settings to Default:
   
   • Reset BIOS settings may restore secure boot settings to normal factory state.
     

Regarding TPM 2.0:

• Your PC may not have TPM (Trusted Platform Module) support, which is required for Windows 11.
  
• Additionally, Windows 11 requires an Intel 8th gen core processor or newer.
  

I hope it can solve your problem.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.



Best Regards,
