Start pxe over ipv4 - boot issues
I sat down at the computer this morning and noticed it must have tried to update/reboot. Stuck at this message "Start pxe over ipv4"
Went into Bootloader, but don't see any other option (such as HDD, CD, etc..).

remember dont change your bios to deful - Lei Cheong LauBrass ContributorPXE is usually set to be the fallback option when there's no other boot device (hard disks, CD drives, USB drive, etc.). If you see your system is attempting PXE boot, there is a very good chance your booting devices are not available for boot. The most common case is the drives are not responding (i.e.: dead). However, since in the screens I see that your CMOS was set to UEFI boot mode, that could be the issue. (Windows in UEFI cannot boot with MBR partition style. It can boot with GPT partition only. In fact if you try to install Win10 while under UEFI mode boot option and then select a hard disk initialized as MBR partition layout (basic disk), it'll show you a warning that this is not supported and tell you to switch to a GPT partitioned disk)
- Josh WoodyCopper ContributorPeter, thanks for responding. The only reference I see to network booting is in the bootloader sequence options. Typically, in a legacy BIOS bootloader, you have your sequence of CD, USB, HDD... but with this new windows bootloader, I'm only seeing IPV4 and IPV 6.... the HDD isn't an option. I can disable secure boot, which would allow me to load legacy options, but it throws up a warning that disabling could render my HDD useless if Bitlocker has been engaged. I'm concerned that Windows 10 has automatically enabled Bitlocker (I thought I read that somewhere). So, I don't know what to do... I can't imagine my HDD is shot. I wish I had never signed on for these Insider builds, they've been nothing but headaches.... My Mac buddy doesn't have any issues with his early release beta builds coming from Apple...
- Peter McDonaldIron ContributorCan you provide more information about the type of computer you have? Make and Model?
Also can you send a screenshot (or photo with your phone) of the message that is coming up on the screen?- Josh WoodyCopper Contributor

- Peter McDonaldIron ContributorIf you don't require network (PXE) booting you should be able to turn it off in your BIOS / Firmware. Look for words like Network / NIC / PXE booting and turn it off.
