Did that fix the issue?
Boot Option #1 = Windows Boot Manager

* Go HERE. Enter the private Aurora R16 Service Tag number to check the warranty status.
"PC is still factory sealed"
* I do not know what that meant?
* Disconnect all external peripherals (hard drives, USB key storage, etc.) from the Aurora R16 leaving only the monitor, mouse, and keyboard connected. Restart. What happens?
* Restart and tap F2 to enter the BIOS
* Go to Boot Menu (page 119)
* It should be;
Boot List Option = UEFI
Boot Option #1 = Windows Boot Manager

Thanks
It was
Boot Option #1 = PXE IPv4
Boot Option #2 = PXE IPv6
Boot Option #3 = Windows Boot Manager
I Changed it to
Boot Option #1 = Windows Boot Manager
Boot Option #2 = PXE IPv4
Boot Option #3 = PXE IPv6
