WIN 10 WONT BOOT WITHOUT WINDOWS 10 USB ATTACHED

Hi guys.

Ive bought my parents a new system around the ryzen 5600g cpu.

Ive installed windows and activated it updated it and all was going well. I shut down the pc and it now will not boot without the win 10 usb media attached to the system. Ive made sure that the ssd is selected as the boot drive but im just getting a blank screen.

It loads past the asus splash screen but as soon as it goes to load on windows I get a blank black screen and nothing else happens.

Any help or advice out there please as its driving me nuts.

Thanks

Your parent PC probably was however configured bootloader to booted Windows 10 from USB.

Download and run EasyBCD, take a look at entries list. If Windows 10 use USB device as boot drive then click on Advanced Settings button and change the drive to C:\, save settings and restart PC.

Your parent PC should boot from SSD now.

Or just put msconfig in search box in Windows
Change default device in boot order
Test it works ok by restarting
Then can go back to msconfig and delete the usb
If you want
Or just leave it there
