Hey, my computer won't start up right after I picked "Load Optimized Defaults". Now I'm stuck and don't know what to do next. Can you give me some tips? I found this helpful YouTube video here for you.

Welcome to the forums! Your new laptop won't turn on after I told you to choose "Load Optimized Defaults." Why did you pick that option? Also, besides just seeing a quick splash screen, we don't know what kind of laptop this is or its specific model number. We do know it's an Asus. Can you try turning off your computer and get into the BIOS settings? If yes, please look at where to put your boot order.

It happened by mistake. Sure, I can stay inside my BIOS settings even after turning off the computer.

Should I do a fresh install of Windows? My laptop isn't critical, so no big deal if you lose the current setup.

I won't take that path for checking those pictures. Instead, try hosting them somewhere else like Imgur or similar services.

And sorry for before I uploaded to drive, but I didn't know any other option.
