Boot loop Option cannot be removed for Inspiron 15 3505

Question

Hello,

Since a couple of days, I am having problem for "boot Loop". Each time the machine "checks for media", fails to find the bootable media. The windows was Fresh installed online 7 days ago. The ver. is 10.0.19044.2130. The incident started after I changed the "USB awake state" "Enabled" on BIOS once, and inserted a non-EFI bootable media. Tried following to resolve the problem:

1. Changed BIOS 1.9 latest version to 1.8, and, 1.0 the initial ver. Nothing changed.

2. Run Recovery and checked through startup Repair. Partition table, boot file, Windows health, All good.

3. Changed boot order, Windows EFI loader to IPV4, and saved. Then Again to Windows boot loader at the top of the list and saved. No use.

4. I Turned 'secure boot' 'off '. No solution.

Currently, each time after power on, I have to go to F12 menu and manually have to chose Windows loader to launch Windows.

Incidentally, I have removed the SSD and Re-aligned it. Still, the Manual selection of Windows loader persists.

Is there any solution besides the re-installation of OS?

Thank you very much.

Perform a hard reset.

Turn off the computer.
Disconnect the AC adapter or power cable from the computer, and remove the battery (for Dell laptops with removable battery).
NOTE: For Dell laptops that have a nonremovable battery, see the Dell knowledge base article How to reset Real Time Clock (RTC).
For Dell laptops with removable batteries, see the User Guide for your Dell laptop for step-by-step instructions to safely remove the battery.

NOTE: On select Dell Latitude laptops, try to recover the laptop using the forced ePSA method from a POST or boot failure. To learn more, see the Dell knowledge base article How to Use Forced ePSA to Recover from POST or Boot Failure.
Disconnect all devices such as USB drives, printers, webcams, and media cards (SD/xD).
Press and hold the power button for 15 to 20 seconds to drain residual power.
Connect the AC adapter or power cable and the battery (for Dell laptops).
If your Dell computer can turn on but is unable to boot into Windows, identify the symptoms and follow the appropriate troubleshooting guide.
