PXE 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)
