Highly unlikely. Check your BIOS, you may have an option for boot order (which you said is set correctly) but you may also have an option for Harddrive BBS Order. Make sure that is selected the boot drive for Windows.

 

I'll check it out. 

I'll check if there's a BBS order. 
I am running the Windows Boot Manager on my 1TB SSD, and it does say that it detects the Windows Boots Manager, and like previously mentioned is #1 in priority. 
I'll check that out. 

Hello there!

 

I decided to update my ASUS motherboard's BIOS to the latest non-beta version. 
I updated it through the BIOS (using a USB and the .cap file).

 

After it updated, it did the normal thing of showing the American Megatrends screen. 

However, once I restarted the PC to turn it on like I usually would, I ended up at the American Megatrends screen... again. 
And again. And again. It would never got to the Windows loading screen (or boot up from the Windows Boot Manager, which is 

set to #1 priority on the boot menu). 

 

Now, everytime I want to use my computer, I have to press F1 (to get out of the megatrends screen), go into my boot menu,

and manually click on the "Windows Boot Manager" to boot up into Windows. 
I was reading this is due to the UEFI Asus BIOS update messing up with the Windows Boot Manager? I tried using the Windows Startup Repair tool,

however, that found "no problems," and did nothing. 

Any ideas to what I can do. Of course, reinstalling a fresh copy of windows to fix this would not be the best option hahaha

 

TL:DR - I turn on my PC, goes into American Megatrends screen (always), and I have to manually tell it to boot up from 
Windows Boot Manager. 

 

Thanks for the help!

Change your #1 Boot Option to Windows Boot Manager. Also verify that any other BIOS settings you previously set are correct.

change boot order in BIOS

 

Windows Boot Manager is already #1 in boot priority. Hasn't solved it.
I set my boot device in the UEFI ASUS BIOS to the forth mentioned Windows Boot Manager. 
I've tried all of these. 

 

With regards to settings, everything is just as it used to be. 
There is a CPU fan error, but that's due to my Corsair H100i GTX pump. It has always had that, 

but it would boot up just fine prior to the BIOS update. 
Is there a way to maybe disable that error, since that could be preventing the system from auto booting to Windows Boot Manager?

Highly unlikely. Check your BIOS, you may have an option for boot order (which you said is set correctly) but you may also have an option for Harddrive BBS Order. Make sure that is selected the boot drive for Windows.

FIXED!!!

Literally turning off the CPU Fan Error fixed it. 
I had to disable the BIOS from checking if it was on.
