Inspiron 15 5518, HTTPSBOOT Failed to initialize network connection

HTTPSBOOT Failed to initialize network connection

I have Dell Inspiron 15 5518 running Windows 10 On startup it started showing suddenly,

Inspiron 15 5518"HTTPSBOOT Failed to initialize network connection" 

It doesn't boot now. I tried changing the boot sequence, but I can only see Uefi HTTPs Boot in my boot sequence, so there is no option of changing the sequence.

How do I fix it?

The error message “HTTPSBOOT Failed to initialize network connection” on startup indicates an issue related to the boot process of your Dell. Let’s troubleshoot this problem step by step:

  1. Reset BIOS to Default:

    • Sometimes, BIOS settings can cause boot-related errors. Try resetting your BIOS to default settings. Be cautious if you’ve made any custom changes to your BIOS, as you’ll need to reapply them afterward.
    • To reset BIOS:
      • Restart your laptop.
      • When it boots up, press the F2 key to access the BIOS setup.
      • Navigate to the Boot Configuration section.
      • Uncheck all options except for the internal SSD/HDD (usually represented by a blue rectangle).
      • Click Apply changes and exit the BIOS.
    • If SSD/HDD options are not available, restore the BIOS to defaults (select Load Defaults).
    • Reboot your system and check if it boots normally.


  2. Reseat the HDD/SSD:

    • If the error persists, try reseating the hard drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD). This involves unplugging and then reconnecting the drive.
    • Note: Reseating hardware components can be complex. Consult your system manual or seek professional assistance if needed.
    • Remember to back up important files before attempting this step.

  3. Restore the Operating System:

    • If the error changes to “No bootable device,” you may need to restore your operating system.
    • Use SupportAssist OS Recovery or reinstall the OS.
    • After the recovery or reinstallation, your system should boot normally.

  4. Contact Dell Support:

Dell has released a few remediations and mitigations for users. Users can further protect themselves by following these recommendations.

Users have been asked to use secured networks and prevent unauthorized local and physical access to devices.
Dell has asked the users to enable platform security features such as Secure Boot and BIOS Admin Password for additional protection.
No action required on CVE-2021-21573 and CVE-2021-21574 as these two vulnerabilities were remediated on 28th May, 2021.
The other two CVE-2021-21571 and CVE-2021-21572 vulnerabilities would require system BIOS updates to address the vulnerabilities. Please check out the affected device table from the post to find out the required BIOS version.
Users can’t go with BIOS updates immediately. They can disable the BIOSConnect and HTTPS Boot feature on the system BIOS.

If anyone is still having this issue, can you please let me know if you're seeing the Windows Boot Manager and Disk Drive listed under the Boot Sequence in the BIOS? This can vary depending on system model but here is an example of what it could look like:

To enter the BIOS, press F2 at the Dell Screen before Windows attempts to boot and then select Boot Sequence (this could also be referred to as Boot Order).

If you're still having this issue, please try resetting your BIOS to default. Be careful using this solution if you have made changes to your BIOS as you will need to make them again.

Here is a helpful video for resetting the BIOS:

  4. Check if it will boot to your operating system.
  5. If it doesn't boot, try reseating the HDD/SSD (unplug/remove and plug it back in again).
