No bootable device found

An Insider Preview update was downloaded to my Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet & now when I start it up I get the error "No bootable device found". It will let me retry booting, run a test on my system (says it all "passed"). Any suggestions? Thank you.

First, go into BIOS settings and disable Secure Boot. See if that helps. Some Insider builds change Secure Boot Keys in a way that prevents the OS from loading until these keys are cleared.

If that does not work, download a Windows 10 ISO file, if you do not have one, and make a bootable USB stick from it.

Rufus is often used to apply the ISO to a USB stick. http://rufus.akeo.ie

You could also download the build 16251 ISO file if that is any better for your purposes.

If you boot from a Windows 10 install USB, you can try Repair your computer from the second setup screen, or use SHIFT-F10 to fix things from a Command Prompt.
