The PC : Desktop, Windows 10 home 64b. 20H2

Issues : Does not boot into Windows

Boot issues one after another since 20H2 update, such as

mouse lock up or disappear after booting into Windows

crash 20~30 minutes after booting into Windows

BSOD saying not properly started . . .

stuck at OEM's logo, simply dead

Installation media USB is created, but the system cannot read the USB.

The PC stays dead at the manufacturer's logo of the boot process. Dead.

What to do now?

Thank.

Chuenmon

    Thanks for the Chuenmon information.

    I could understand it better now.

    In this case the problem is not the pendrive.

    It will only start after successfully booting the BIOS and setting the boot order.

    There is probably a hardware issue causing the boot not to load the BIOS so it gets stuck on the manufacturer's logo screen.

    Try unplugging all disks by removing the cables and verifying that startup exits this screen.

    Also try removing the memory sticks and cleaning them, then put them back in and try starting again.

    Make sure the startup passes the startup screen.

    Thanks, Paloma.

    " . . . just select the option that it will be used on another computer."

    Yes, that is what I did.

    "Could you share some printscreen or photos of the current BIOS settings for me to review?"

    No. I cannot. Cannot get in the BIOS.

    The booting process is dead at the point when the manufacturer's logo appears. At this point, there are 2 elements on the screen. One is the manufacturer's logo, and the other is string of words providing the hot keys to get into BIOS, namely Delete, and boot priorities, namely F12. But they are now all dead.

    The light of the USB is on, but it seems the OS of the PC does not read the USB at all.

    All right, I'll use Rufus to make another installation media USB & try to see what will happen.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the information, it was nothing, it's a pleasure to be able to try to help you.

    I believe that is not the problem.

    Through the MS tool to create the installation USB, it can be created from another computer, just select the option that it will be used on another computer.

    Anyway try to create it again in another way, download the ISO and then use the program Rufus to create the USB.

    Could you share some printscreen or photos of the current BIOS settings for me to review?

    Hello, Paloma.

    Thank you VERY MUCH.

    ". . . if you have configured the BIOS . . . "

    The answer is NO.

    Because the PC simply cannot read the installation media USB. The OS is not aware of it.

    The installation media USB is made on a different PC, a laptop with Windows 7 Pro. SP 1, 64b.

    Might this be the problem?

    Appreciate your help.
