My Laptop Keeps Booting to UEFI Instead of Installing Windows from USB

Asked By TechyGamer42 On

I've been facing some issues with my laptop recently. A few weeks ago, I started getting Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) errors, so I tried some updates and driver fixes, but the BSoD kept happening. I ran some built-in tools like sfc and chkdsk, which didn't show any problems. Now, my laptop will only boot into UEFI. I made sure the boot order is set to my USB drive, but even though it recognizes the USB, it just takes me back to UEFI every time I try to restart. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me get past this?

To start, check if your USB was created properly. The Microsoft Media Creation Tool or Rufus are usually the most reliable options for making a bootable USB. Sometimes, creating the USB on a Mac or Linux can cause issues. If you’ve already checked that, try disconnecting your system drive if you're comfortable. A faulty drive might be causing all this trouble and could explain the BSoD errors. Good luck!

Also, if you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, look for dump files in C:WindowsMinidump. These files can help better understand the BSoD issues. If you find some, zip them up and upload them using a simple file-sharing site. More dump files are better for diagnosing the problem, so check if you can configure Windows to create small memory dumps as well.
