Windows 10: My PC always boots into the BIOS when it starts and when I exit it just boots back into the...

What the title says

Windows 10 will only boot if selected from the BIOS boot menu.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

• You mean to say, every time you need to make changes to Boot Order in BIOS, to start your computer correctly?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

I suspect that the problem might be due to outdated BIOS update
or with Boot Configuration data. Suggest you to check for the latest BIOS update and Chipset drivers for your device hardware on Manufacturer website. If you find a new one, try to update the same to see if it correct
the issue. If problem still persist, then I suggest to rebuild Boot Configuration Data to see if it makes any difference.

Let us try to repair your computer by creating a Windows 10 Bootable media (I.e. USB or DVD) using
Media Creation Tool.
Use your computer or some other connected to Internet for creating a Bootable media (Windows 10 ISO image file). Once you're ready with Bootable Media, follow the below mentioned
steps.

• Insert the Windows installation disc in the disc drive or connect USB media, and then start the computer.
• Press a key when the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears.
  
  If your PC does not detect the media automatically
  • During the restart process, read the screen for any instructions that explain how to interrupt normal startup and enter the basic input/output system (BIOS) setup utility. Most PCs use the F2, F10, ESC, or DEL key to begin the BIOS Setup.
  • Look for a tab in the BIOS Setup Utility that is labeled Boot Order,
    Boot Options, or Boot. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to go to the
    Boot Order, then press Enter.
  • Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press Enter. The boot order
    sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
  • Press F10 to save your changes and to exit the BIOS Setup Utility. Select Yes in the confirmation window. The PC will restart. Allow the PC to restart normally. The scan will take a few minutes and remove any malware that may be infecting your computer.
• Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.
• Click Repair your computer.
• Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click
  Next.
• On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. Select
  Advanced Options > Command Prompt
  under Advanced Options.
• Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd, and then press
  ENTER. This command will rebuild boot configuration data if in case any issue with Boot files causing this issue.

Once you done with the above steps, see if the problem still persist.

Let us know how it went.

 

Slow BIOS boot

Dear Taiga17x,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



Thank you for reaching out to us and providing detailed information about the issue you're experiencing with your PC's boot-up time. It sounds like you've taken some proactive steps to troubleshoot the problem, and I'm here to assist you further in resolving this matter.

Based on the description you've provided, the increase in boot-up time following the overclocking attempts with MSI Afterburner is indeed concerning. It's possible that the changes made during the overclocking process may have inadvertently affected the system's stability or BIOS settings, leading to the observed delay during boot-up.

The only thing worth checking on the Windows side for long boot times is the boot self-startup items, which you can disable in the task manager to optimize boot speed. The other factors focus on the computer hardware and BIOS settings, here are some additional steps you can take to address this issue:

Disclaimer: If you are going to modify BIOS Settings (such as resetting CMOS and resetting the BIOS button), please back up all your personal files first to ensure you do not lose data.

1. BIOS Configuration Check: Ensure that all BIOS settings are optimized for stability and performance. You mentioned restoring BIOS settings to optimized defaults, which is a good first step.
   
   If your BIOS didn’t save the RAM timings after training, it could result in a slow boot time. There’s a BIOS setting named “Memory Context Restore” that could potentially cause this issue if it’s set before the first boot after adding new RAM. A CMOS reset should remove this option if it’s set.
   
2. BIOS Update: Check if there are any BIOS updates available for your motherboard. Manufacturers often release updates to improve system compatibility, stability, and performance. However, exercise caution and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when performing a BIOS update.
   
3. Boot Sequence Optimization: Review the boot sequence configuration in the BIOS settings to ensure that the system is prioritizing the correct boot devices. Sometimes, incorrect boot device prioritization can lead to longer boot-up times.
   

If after performing these steps you're still experiencing prolonged boot-up times, it may be worthwhile to consider seeking assistance from a professional technician or contacting MSI support for further guidance, especially considering the overclocking aspect.

I hope these suggestions help in resolving the issue you're facing. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or require additional assistance. I'm here to help!
