This has been an adventure trying to get my computer to work as normal.
I just started it up one day and it booted into F11 System Recovery. So first thing i try is reseting, automatic repair, every troubleshooting option available, but still no luck. If i pressed the power button the only thing i would see is Recovery.
I went as far as factory reseting my computer, doing a full wipe.
Since then Ive used BIOS recovery usb's, windows install usb's, BIOS settings reset, ive used command promt, restore point, every pressable button has been pressed and yet i have no luck. Untill for some reason it boots into windows after a few key presses. I did what i could untill i had to shut it down again, and after that it went back into F11. These 'windows of time' i have when it randomly boots into the os has allowed me to try things out of the BIOS.
Ive tried EVERYTHING. Heck, ive even swaped out the battery and SSD. Then barely managed to install windows though the gaps.
Now, ive half fixed the issue. If i just power on it goes into recovery, however, if i press ESC when starting it goes into the pause startup menu. From here i have my basic funtions, and if i press continue to windows, it opens. WHAT!? What i need to know is why the thing doesnt boot into windows unless i do those specific key presses, that is the only way it will open. Please give me a hand.
