I recently had to disconnect my faulty keyboard and used the virtual keyboard in Windows 11 for about five hours. After restarting my PC, it now boots directly to the BIOS instead of loading Windows 11. I didn't set a password or anything like that, and before this issue, it would always go straight to my desktop. Is there something I need to change in the BIOS settings? My motherboard is a B550M. I'm stuck on a tablet right now and really need my PC back up and running!

If you can't see any of your drives in the boot priority options, that's a worrying sign. With multiple drives, it’s unlikely all have failed at the same time. Make sure your connections are secure or try reseating the drives. Also, you might want to check if the OEM version of Windows 11 could be causing issues—sometimes these versions have compatibility quirks.
First thing you should check is if your system drive showing up in the BIOS. When you enter BIOS, look for the device list on the main screen. If your drive with Windows isn't listed, it might have failed and could need replacing. If it is detected, make sure it's set as the first boot device and that your boot settings match what they were during the original Windows installation, like UEFI mode. If everything looks okay here, it could be a Windows issue and you might need to reinstall it using a USB drive.
It's definitely odd that all drives would fail together. Have you checked the SATA connections? Sometimes just re-plugging them can help. Additionally, look into BIOS settings for something like 'Secure Boot'—that might play a role in what’s happening. If none of these steps help, you could consider reaching out to support or looking into a recovery option.
