Hello everyone,
First of all, I would like to say that I have scoured the internet (and this forum) to find a solution to a seemingly simple problem and the closest thread to a solution is this one but I can’t quite understand everything: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?...efi-shell-after-installing-windows-10.368671/
It also seems that MSI computers seem to be more prone to this kind of issue for some reason.
Let me know summarize said issue:
I have received a MSI laptop without OS and I then proceeded to install Windows 11 which went smoothly but after the installation has been completed, the laptop still boots by default to the EFI Shell and I have to type exit (twice actually) for Windows to boot. In the BIOS, the booting order is set into Windows first which is the weird thing.
As I said, I have tried to gain some insight on the issue and understand better the boot process/EFI and from I have gathered the best course of action would be to reinstall everything which is ok for me (I just installed so nothing to lose) but I wanted to know if I can delete and format all the partitions and create new ones (I usually go with one local disk for Windows and one from the rest).
Natively, the laptop came with 3 partitions: one EFI (that I was afraid to delete), one free partition and one with the drivers on it. I split up the free partition and installed Windows there.
I now have three local disks: the C with Windows, the D with the EFI and the E.
I hope that I have been clear: is there a way to fix this easily? Either by deleting the D or by deleting all the partitions and reinstalling?
Thank you for reading everything!
