I recently updated the BIOS on my Gigabyte motherboard, which went through without any issues. However, I'm now stuck on the Windows repair screen and can't seem to reset or reinstall Windows 11. I followed a guide on YouTube for troubleshooting via the command prompt, but I couldn't find anything wrong. What could be causing this problem, and how can I fix it?

It sounds like while the BIOS update was successful, it may have caused issues with your Windows installation. This could lead to corrupted files that prevent you from reinstalling Windows 11. Double-check that your motherboard model is correct too, just to eliminate any confusion. It's possible you’re dealing with a Windows corruption issue rather than a BIOS problem. Try booting from a Windows installation USB if you can to see if that helps.
It's important to ensure all your data is backed up before making changes like a BIOS update. You might not need to worry about the BIOS itself since it sounds like Windows might have gone corrupt during the process. If you have access to another computer, you could create a bootable USB drive with Windows 11 and attempt a fresh install from there.
