How to Fix “No Bootable Image Found” Error on PC?

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering the “No Bootable Image Found” error on my computer when trying to start up. The system doesn’t boot into Windows, and I’m unsure whether this is caused by a BIOS setting, a hard drive issue, or something else.

Can someone explain the possible causes of this error and provide step-by-step methods to resolve it safely? I want to fix the issue without losing my data.

Thanks for any help!

Hey, this error usually means your PC can’t find Windows to boot from. First, go to BIOS and check if your hard drive or SSD is showing up. If it is, make sure “Windows Boot Manager” is at the top of the boot order. If it’s missing, switch between UEFI and Legacy mode to match how Windows was installed. If the drive isn’t detected, turn off the PC, unplug and reconnect the drive cables, or test the drive on another computer.

If the drive shows up but still won’t boot, create a Windows 11 recovery USB on another PC, boot from it, and try Startup Repair. If that fails, open Command Prompt and run these one by one:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd

Before doing anything risky, copy your important files using another computer or a bootable USB.
