Hello Microsoft Support Team,

I am facing an issue with my ASUS VivoBook. Every time I power on the laptop, it displays the message "Please Select Boot Device."

When I select the first option, Windows boots up, but within a few minutes, the laptop freezes, key inputs stop working, apps fail to launch, and the system becomes entirely unresponsive.

I have attached an image of the error screen. Please guide me on how to fix this.

Thank you,20260830_203611

    Hi,

    Regarding the startup phase after booting, that screen would be the laptop's BIOS.

    Did you happen to change any BIOS settings?

    Could you tell me the model of your Asus laptop?

    Thanks
