Hi @Junisys,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The "No Any Active Boot Option" error typically indicates that the system can't find a valid boot device or operating system to load. Since you recently removed Ubuntu, it's possible that the bootloader configuration was altered, leaving the system unable to boot into Windows.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and fix this issue.

Check Boot Order:

• Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, F10, F12, or Delete during startup).
• Navigate to the Boot tab and ensure that your Windows drive is set as the primary boot device.

Verify Disk Connections:

• Power off your computer and ensure all internal cables and connections are secure, especially those connected to your hard drive or SSD.

Repair Boot Configuration:

• Use a Windows installation media (USB or DVD). If you don't have one, you may need to create it using another computer. You can download the Windows Media Creation Tool from the Microsoft website to create a bootable USB drive.
• Boot from the Windows installation media by selecting it from the Boot Menu or setting it as the primary boot device in BIOS/UEFI.
• Select your language preferences and click "Next."
• Click "Repair your computer" at the bottom left of the screen.
• Choose "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Startup Repair." Windows will try to automatically fix issues that prevent it from booting.

Rebuild Boot Configuration Data (BCD):

• If Startup Repair doesn’t work, go back to "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" and select "Command Prompt."
• In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot

bootrec /scanos

bootrec /rebuildbcd

• Restart your computer and see if Windows boots.

Check Disk for Errors:

• In the Command Prompt window, you can also run a disk check:

chkdsk /f /r C:

• Replace C: with the letter of your Windows installation drive if it's different.

Check UEFI/Legacy Boot Mode:

• If you had Ubuntu installed in UEFI mode, but Windows was installed in Legacy (CSM) mode, you might need to switch your BIOS settings accordingly. Ensure that your BIOS is set to the correct mode based on your installation.

Reinstall Windows:

• If none of the above steps work, you may need to perform a clean installation of Windows. Be sure to back up any important data if possible before proceeding with this option.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
