    Stuck in UEFI loop if CSM is off


    I was reading on BIOS stuff cause my PC always boots to the wrong screen and a suggestion to turn CSM off fixed that but introduced a UEFI loop (every time it closes, it opens again instead of booting the system). I turned CSM back on in order to be able to boot but does anyone know why UEFI won't work?

    Windows 10 installed disk layout must be MBR disk that is why you can only use CSM option.

    Check if Disk is MBR or GPT in Windows
