  2. 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 : Redirecting

    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.

  3. 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..?
