Hi, the strangest thing just happened and I would like to try to understand.

Worked this morning on my PC and then left it on for the rest of the day. My PC doesn't go to sleep when plugged into a power source.

A couple of hours later, I walked back to my PC with this screen on that I have never seen before

When I left my PC this morning there was no pending Windows update (I know sometimes Windows reboots the PC by itself to install critical updates sometimes)

Can anyone make sense of how my PC rebooted in the first place, and then why it rebooted into HTTP(s) mode.

My Windows 11 runs fine, no glitches, or bugs and never had a blue screen.

I turned off the PC by pressing the power button, turned off immediately, pressed a 2nd time and it turned back on and this time booted into Windows and everything seems fine now

Any idea why my PC suddenly rebooted itself into HTTP(s) mode?

Thanks

You have to go into BIOS/UEFI and check to see if your computer can even find the Windows boot loader as a boot option. If not, then your SSD has become corrupt.

In some rare cases the boot order may change, so that HTTPs mode is first boot option...you have to move the Windows boot loader to the top of the list in order to boot Windows as first option rather than the HTTPs.

Dell HTTP(s) boot can be used by Dell SupportAssist to download and install Windows if a bootable system isn't found at start up.

It's probably best to disable it though...

Thanks for the explanation.
The strange thing is that I rebooted my laptop after I got the HTTPs mode screen and it booted into Windows with no problem. Shutdown my PC and turned it back on a 2nd time to be sure and it booted into Windows.

Scanned my SSD with CHKDSK and no error was found. I guess it was a glitch? BIOS momentarily changed the boot order or something and then it went back to normal? Note that I didn't have to go into BIOS and change the boot order manually. It appears it went back to normal by itself and Windows is booting normally now without me changing anything in the BIOS

It's just odd

What a great feature, this is the first time I have heard about this feature in Windows.

So it confirms an unexpected shutdown and a failed Windows update.

SMART Status which seems to indicate that my SSD is fine and supports the idea that this may have been caused by a software issue/glitch

Indicate whether there were or were not hangs / freezes and manual power offs.

Plan to post a new V2 share link after one week of monitoring.
