Hi mann004

Try removing the usb pendrive and usb optical drives, then in the bios, boot tab, make sure your HDD is set as Boot Option 1.

F10 and Enter.

All right,

Reset the bios to defaults (F5),

If you did a UEFI install make sure "Windows Boot Manager" is set as Boot Option 1, F10 and Enter.

Let all usb devices disconnected for now.

Does this help ?

no it does not .
i googled about it found something called cold boot issue with wd drives do you know what it is ?

It should boot to windows from a cold boot.

Try reinstalling windows in UEFI mode. Let your usb optical drives disconnected for now.

On the boot tab disable CSM and set secure boot to "Other OS" then select your usb flashdrive with UEFI in front of it as Boot Option 1.

F10 and enter

Once windows installs remove the usb flash drive and make sure windows boot manager is set as boot option 1.

How does it go now ?
