Hello
It must be mis-configurations of your BIOS.
your solution of the problem will be in (BIOS Settings).
- You can do a reset BIOS (in case you don't know what you have changed and get back to the good known state -Default).
- Check (Start Up Settings - Boot Order): Make sure that (Windows Boot Manager is the Top First One)
- Turn off (Network Boot / PXE Boot )
- Hard Reset Power of your device
Note: if you enabled Secure Boot and changed the Boot Mode from (Legacy) to (CSM or UEFI), you may face a black screen issue as you need a re-installation of OS to do that the proper way.
Okay, One more thing that can save you.
If it's a PC or Laptop:
- You can reset the BIOS physically (Search Online by your Device Model and Reset BIOS Physical)
- You may open your PC Case and remove the CMOS battery (it's a circle one) and re-install it.
- Or, press a specific button for seconds to reset.
