Boot manager only loading windows setup
Hi, I was having an idiot moment while trying to get my laptop to open the bios setup by hitting f2. I tried other function keys without the result I wanted. I hit f10 which brought me to the "edit boot options" and erased what it said there and simply typed setup thinking that might so what I wanted. To my surprise, it did not. Instead windows boot manager now will only load windows setup to restore my machine to factory settings which I DO NOT want to do. I have tried booting in safe mode but it is trying to load in safe mode for windows setup. I tried the boot manager and that says windows setup as the operating system [EMS Enabled] I have tried other combinations and other advice from other forums with no success. It won't load anything except windows setup. I need the stuff on my hard drive and cannot loose it. I probably deserve it for being a knoob at this point. Anyone knows what I can type in the edit boot options screen to get it to load windows normally or get the boot manager to load windows and not windows setup?
