Did you get this after updating to windows 10?

I got the same thing this morning after doing a clean install (upgraded to win 10 first and then clean installed windows 10 iso on top of it).

 

To fix it:

Go into your bios. Click settings (big button on the left) -> boot -> uefi hdd priority -> make sure that the top one is  Microsoft Boot Manager (if i recall correctly)

That fixed it for me (MSI mobo too)

I couldn't update windows 10 is what happened and the efi shell only happens when windows mode is on. It's like my hard drive isn't detected with windows mode on.

What do you mean with "Windows Mode"?

Fastboot?

In my mobo in my settings-advanced-windows8/8.1-config-windows8/8.1 feature.

So what enabling "Windows 8/8.1 features" actually means is forcing UEFI boot.

So if you cant select windows boot manager in UEFI hdd priority that means that you dont have a UEFI install of windows and so it cant boot.

You can either just turn of the "Windows 8/8.1 featuers" setting or format your harddrive (in case its running MBR instead of GPT partitioning) and clean install windows (make sure you're booting of a UEFI device, installing from a USB drive does the trick)

Strange the first time I installed the os is with uefi, but I reinstalled and it was efi. Thanks for the help!
