Stuck in UEFI mode (running Win 10 IOT)

Post by johncassell »

Hi, I have successfully got a VHD of Win 10 IOT but when it boots it goes into UEFI mode and gives me a Shell Menu. I've attached a screenshot of what I get.

I can type exit and can go into a boot manager menu but nothing I try makes a difference. Could anyone help me on this please? Thanks, John

You got to talk to whoever prepared that VHD for you and see if the VM was installed with EFI. If not, you got to change your settings to *not* use EFI mode.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
