What happens when problems arise after a BIOS update?
Hello, I just updated my motherboard BIOS. It's an MSI MPG Z690 CARBON WIFI. After the update, my PC restarted and booted but displayed a recovery screen with error 0xc0000225. I tried going back to BIOS, checked my boot drive to ensure it was listed correctly since I have multiple drives, and confirmed it was. I switched the UEFI mode to CSM and it worked properly. Now, whenever I restart, my PC won't boot from CSM mode without manually changing it, which is unexpected.
Your system is booting in UEFI mode.
All drives are GPT partitioned. You can boot from GPT drive in UEFI mode only.
One problem though. You have two bootloader partitions. This can cause confusion.
You should delete 198MB SYSTEM partition on drive with F: partition.
I'm not sure why it's causing problems right now after the BIOS update. The first drive was an old SSD with Windows installed that I moved to an M.2 drive, which is my current boot and Windows drive. I reformatted the first drive some time ago, so I'm not sure it still has a bootloader. It's possible the BIOS is choosing a bootloader instead when switching to UEFI mode, and I should probably delete that partition from the first drive.
When your system starts in UEFI mode but you keep getting the recovery error every time you restart, it means you need to switch back to BIOS and enable CSM mode before booting. This is why you can't just use UEFI normally.
