Windows 10 I had a weird thing happen this morning.

Hi Everyone.

My computer was running fine yesterday and this morning when I booted it up, I got the dreaded message "No Operating System Found Disconnect your hard drives."
I shut down and the same thing happened again, three times in total.

The really weird thing was the "Disconnect the hard drives" part.

I was getting really worried the last thing I wanted was to spend the day trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer.

After 3 tries I pushed F2 and entered the bios.

I discovered that the Windows loader was the last thing on the list.
I know that it was usually the second thing with only my DVD drive ahead of it.

I moved it from the bottom to the top of the list and saved and shut down.

I was very relieved when it booted normally, but how did this happen?

I haven't accessed the bios lately and it booted fine until today.

How could the Bios setting have gotten changed since last night and why didn't it keep looking at the list until it found Drive C:\?

I've run all my diagnostics and everything looks good but it's weird.

Hi Guys

I figured out part of the problem, when it got out of order it put USB drives in the first position.
One of the last things I did last night is put a blank flash drive into a slot.

That's why it wouldn't boot, if I had realized that all I would have had to do is remove the flash drive and it would have started.
But I still don't know how the Bios got that way.

This is a pretty new computer, so I hope the battery isn't going already.

I have had a number of Windows updates recently but don't know if that was the problem.
At least everything is working.
