Hi I’m able to continue up until step 4. I repeatedly tap F9 button but says: “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key”

So, it’s not allowing me to enter the Windows Recovery Menu

What should I do next?

Waiting for a reply

Thanks

If that is not working, try this:

1. Select the Security menu in the Aptio setup utility, select ‘secure Boot Control’ and change to disable.
2. Select the Boot menu in the Aptio setup utility, select ‘Launch CSM’ and change to enable.
3. Select Save & Exit and press ‘yes’.
4. Hold down the power button until the unit switches power off completely.
5. Switch back on and continually hold FN + F9 for about ten seconds; this should now allow the unit to boot up into the Windows Recovery menu.
6. Select ‘Advanced Start Up’ and wait until the recovery menu appears.
7. Select ‘ Advanced Options’.
8. Select ‘System Restore’ and select a date prior to when the problem occurred

HI so I tried your instructions but I just get a black screen saying “reboot and select proper boot drive or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key” instead start up menu. Suggestion

MY CURRENT PROBLEM 10/13/2029

I’ve had the same problems as indicated above with an Asus Model X555UA & applied the instructions indicated above. These instructions got me out of the Aptio Setup Utility – Copyright 2019 American Megatrends, Inc. Version2.17.1259 after step #3 &
unable to proceed further with these instructions leaving the notebook trapped in the black “Reboot & Select proper boot device or insert proper boot media in selected boot device & select any key” screen without any apparent way out of it.

Previous instructions at
as a valid choice.

My problems started when I plugged in & turned on the notebook while waiting to board a flight & it immediately went into a major Windows 10 UpDate with no way to stop it, except to shut it down. After 45 minutes I had to board my flight with the
UpDate only about 17% complete. I have the notebook set to keep running when I close the cover. I then unplugged it (with the battery 100% charged) & boarded the plane. When I opened it on the plane, I found that it was stuck in the Aptio Setup Utility – Copyright
2019 American Megatrends, Inc. Version2.17.1259.

When I got to my destination, I managed to get out of Aptio, but the computer would crash & go back into Aptio upon startup or would freeze-up @ login. I was able to reboot after several attempts, but it would crash & I would get the ErrorCode: Critical
Process Died. After dealing with this, I opened “Update History” to see if the W-10 Update had completed. It hadn’t. So I went to the UpDate function in the Start Menu & except for the Title, that page was completely blank. The UpDate History
showed that over the past 3 months other automatic UpDates had been attempted & not completed, with no notification to me. Although, during that time I had seen updates being processed & “completed” at startup & shutdown, without any notification that there
had been any problems or that the UpDates hadn’t been completed.

Later, I was able to start the notebook, login, & find the UpDate Page working. I started a new UpDate. After about 3 hours of updating, & only about 40% complete, I had to move the notebook. But this time, I unplugged it (with the battery 100% charged)
without closing the cover & immediately the screen changed to the “ErrorCode: Critical Process Died” & then the Aptio Setup appeared again.

At this point, I found the solutions from “Asus Laptop Stuck in Aptio Setup Utility”, that are copied above from the MS webpage that I followed, that now have left me stuck in the black “Reboot & select proper boot drive or insert proper boot media
in selected boot device & select any key” without any apparent way out of it. Rebooting just repeats the instructions. Restarting & “Ctrl, Alt, Delete” only reopens the same black screen. Please, is there any way to get out of this?
