Update: For anyone suffering from this nightmare of an update, it's actually MSI's fault. Solution below.

MSI's solution:

Modern 14 Windows 11 22H2 Update broke system | MSI Global English Forum - Index

Regarding the issue, I find someone share the information. The problem is resolved by downgrading the BIOS to 112 and a newer BIOS will be released later to fix the problem. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/unable-to-boot-in-system-after-updating-windows-11-sun-valley2.379048/

Thanks to Sumit for the reply and solution.

So I downgraded the BIOS to 1.1.2 and it booted the operating system!

For the Modern 14 B4MW model, you can download the BIOS from here: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Modern-14-B4MW/support?sub_product=Modern-14-B4MW#bios

Update 2:

New BIOS version E14DKAMS.115 is now available. https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Modern-14-B4MW/support?sub_product=Modern-14-B4MW#bios

Original: Upgraded Windows 10 to Windows 11 on MSI Modern 14 earlier this year via Update assistant. I saw the latest Windows 11 22H2 update and put the MSI modern 14 to upgrade via Windows 11 Installation Assistant downloaded from Microsoft site:

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

During the installation maybe about 80% I forgot about it and shut down the computer. Did something like this before and there was not problem. So I didn't think about it as I was tired and went to sleep.

Opend up the laptop next morning and it shows a message saying "SECURE BOOT VIOLATION" and after i pressed ok to that it takes me to the BIOS. Tried changing the boot order but nothing.

The UEFI option is grayed out. Disabling Secure boot does nothing. It directly takes me to BIOS without the error.

My question is, if I make a botable USB drive can I repair the Windows 11 OS without formatting the laptop?

Are there any other solution to this? I would maybe want to backup some documents.

    i've found the solution

    you have to turn off the safe boot from the boot menu and try to install windows , when you reach the partition window just delete the recovery partition and uefi partition or something like that and install windows on C ( i sadly formatted the C parition but try installing the windows without formatting it if did't work format it)

    i have tried this solution and save the D partition on my laptop

    Hello. How do you exactly turn off the safe boot?

    Hello. I'm having the exact same issue, using the same model, a MSI Modern 14 B4MW, after manually installing the 22H2 update, using the Installation Assistant.

    What's worse for me is that I tried like everything, for now, including resetting bios to defaults, disabling secure boot and even trying to install Win 10 and to no avail... I formatting all the drives from the disk partitioning menu, în Windows Setup. Is it bad if I updated the BIOS, last year, in like June?

    After installing windows 10 its working fine for me. But I would suggest you to contact MSI authorized service center and get it fixed there as you said you don't know much about computers. Because installing the OS wrongly may affect your computer and I guess it would affect your warranty too. Mine's outside the warranty and also I have installed Windows myself a couple of times so I didn't take it to service center.

    As of now the solution seems to be going back to Windows 10. You could find any nearby service centers through MSI official website. They may fix it for free as its still under warranty.
