Windows 10 Pro Fast Boot Problem....

[Herringbone]

When booting up my new HP ProDesk 600 G1 (SFF) with Windows 10 Pro installed, I now get a boot-up error message that reads "No Option to boot to," and the OS just hangs. I have to reboot to get a normal start-up.

I traced that error message, (with research) to the Fast Boot option in Win 10. I unchecked the FB option
via the Control Panel and rebooted...

But the normal boot-up didn't happen; instead the OS stalled and tried to boot from a USB external HD, which caused further hanging.

I did another hard reboot OK, checked FB again, and was back to Square One!

Any way I can uncheck FB in the Control Panel and stop that "No Option to boot to" error message?

Disable it in BIOS, that should work.

Disable it in BIOS, that should work.

In the computer BIOS, there's a Quick Boot option - is that the same thing?

 

[zebanovich]

Very likely that's the same thing, if it's enabled turn it off.
If that causes some problems (such as unable to boot) you can enable it back by entering BIOS again.

OK, Thanks.

Will do that during HDD upgrades today.

We went into the BIOS from F10 Startup Utility and changed the boot order, with that damned "No Option...."
no longer appearing during boot-up.

Thanks for your responses.

Stay safe!
