Anyone else seeing this?
For the past 2 years, I have had the problem. It does not happen with all updates, but happened twice this year and once in 2019. I have a HP Spectre X360 notebook running Windows 10 and it is up to date with the latest drivers.
Here is what happens:
- The notebook reboots following Win 10 updates.
- Upon rebooting, I get Error 3F0 - no boot device present.
- I can eventually reboot after the 2nd or 3rd attempt.
- I then uninstall the update and the notebook boots with no problem. The problem has disappeared.
It happened this week after installing KB4576751, KB4576750 and KB578974. I un-installed all 3 and the problem went away. It also happened back in May after installing KB4556799 and KB4552931.
And also in March 2019. Back then, I reinstalled Windows as I was getting the "No Boot device found" and I assumed it had crashed, but I now realize that it could have been the same Windows update problem.
Anyone else seeing this on HP or other platforms?
