UEFI Windos Boot - Boots directly to UEFI

[BuBu Shofronea]

I have recently removed my legacy windows and installed it as UEFI. However, somehow it began to have an issue. If i restart my computer from windows, it will go directly to uefi after restarting. Same thing happens at first turn on. If i exit the uefi eveything rolls fine, it's just this annoying issue that makes my computer to boot into uefi instead of bios. The boot priority starts with the windows boot manager, which i guess it's my ssd i installed the windows on. I have disabled csm support but that didin't help. There are no additional features that make the computer boot into uefi after restart or at turn on.

I have a msi z270 tomahawk and win10 pro 64 bit. If anyone could help me fix this issue, i'd be thankful.

see if this helps

from desktop, go to settings/update & security/recovery
under Advanced Start up, click Restart PC button
this restarts windows in a blue menu
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info


if that doesn't help, we can try to rebuild the boot files as the Windows Boot Manager in the UEFI should be looking for a special file on the HDD and clearly isn't seeing it.
restart PC in advanced startup like above and
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
We need to use the Bootrec.exe tool. Click on command prompt and type in the following commands, one after the other:
bootrec /RebuildBcd
bootrec /fixMbr
bootrec /fixboot
Exit
Now go ahead and reboot your system. In some cases you may need to run some additional commands.
bootsect /nt60 SYS or bootsect /nt60 ALL

Hello and thank you for responding. No, it doesn't, now it asks me what OS to choose, 10 or 10 pro, if i select 10 pro it wont boot at all. It's so annoying. I also noticed that in the uefi's boot priority the ssd i have windows installed on doesn't appear on the list, only windows boot manager and usbs.

The windows Boot Manager (WBM) should have the location of the boot file on the ssd, so it doesn't need to have the ssd in the boot order, and trying to boot without using the WBM won't work, due to way the disc is formatted (or should be)

in windows, can you give me am screen shot of disk management? (upload it to Imgur and share link here)

having two windows options is odd? we could set default OS via msconfig but better to figure out why its happening than ignore it.

Did you fresh install windows when you converted to UEFI boot?

Hello and thanks for responding,

I have reinstalled windows as i changed parts. I selecte whql support in uefi and had to delete old partitions despite HDD and create new ones in order to install uefi windows. I had no issues until latest updates where it messed up the boot. I loaded optimized defaults in uefi/bios, didn't help. Here's the screenshot of disk mgr

I also wanna point out that Start Up repair ends with an error after diagnose, i can't remember exatcly where the log file saved.
I also wanna add out that i ran a chkdsk already.

If this is gonna be taking long i'm gonna do a reinstall removing all the other sata drives such as my hdd and my dvd writer, i heard these could mess up installation.

that looks normal enough,

can't see any error in boot log.

if you fresh install, follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html
you don't need to create the partitions before installing, win 10 will do all that.
