Recent CMOS changes prevent further booting beyond BIOS settings.
Recent CMOS changes prevent further booting beyond BIOS settings.
I reset my CMOS to fix a monitor issue, but now I can't boot past BIOS. The problem started after clearing CMOS, which helped the display but not access Windows. Changing Boot Priority worked initially, though it doesn’t anymore. The OS SSD isn’t listed, but it wasn’t before either, so I switched to UEFI mode and got Windows Recovery, but it keeps looping or failing. The drive is at MicroCenter for backup. Let me know what you find!
I hadn't considered that the main issue is that most of my USB ports are already in use, and because I do video editing, I’m uncertain if keeping my OS on a USB would be practical. I’d prefer to keep the Windows installed on my SSD instead.
