Hi Kumar0307,

Thank you for getting back to me and offering help.

There are no updates available.

When I perform component test, I get following message: “UEFI Networking does not appear to be supported or enabled on the system. Please check the BIOS settings to make sure UEFI network option ROMs are enabled and that UEFI network boot is enabled”. When I check BIOS settings I found that network boot is enabled and network protocol is set as IPv4+IPv6 UEFI.

Please let me know what are my options.

Best,

Dmitry

Windows 10 has a reset feature that repairs your computer by reinstalling the operating system. This feature is recommended for recovery because it reinstalls Windows 10 while either preserving your personal data and customizations or removing all your personal data.

You have a choice of two methods to reset your computer.

• If Windows 10 loads correctly, see the section titled Perform a Windows 10 system reset in Windows in this document.

• If Windows 10 does not start correctly, see the section titled Perform a Windows 10 system reset through Windows Recovery Environment in this document.

Have a nice day!!
