BIOS update causing problems.
Judging from the posts over the last few days it appears many of us are experiencing problems after allowing the Dell installer to update our BIOS. Since I did so yesterday I cannot get my XPS 13 9350 to boot-up. I just get a statement on screen 'no bootable system detected'. How do I fix it?

You can Reset the BIOS to Default Values and see if that will make a difference.

Thanks for your response LSUFAN51. I gave tried each of these suggested fixes several times and nothing works. I'm going crazy as I am working at home and really, really need this computer to work. I will never do another BIOS update.

If the BIOS Recovery options doesn't work, I suggest you purchase a USB flash drive(8GB or 16GB) at your local Walmart. After you purchase it, please find another computer (local library),download the latest BIOS update from your Dell Product Support page, and then save it to a bootable USB Flash Drive. Please follow instructions in link below:

I am having the same issue on my Dell XPS 15 9550. After I installed BIOS 1.2.19 (after I was prompted to do so by Dell Support Assist pop up) I now get the No bootable devices found. I am working with @DellCares via Twitter. I will let you know if they come up with a fix.

Would be really great except my library doesn't let me download applications to their hard drive so I can create a bootable USB. I asked a friend to let me use her desktop but it is a Mac and I couldn't translate the directions to macspeak. Waiting to hear back from another friend with a PC. Meanwhile tick-tock. Not cool, Dell. Not cool.

Please turn off computer completely. Now, power on computer again, quickly start tapping the F2 key continuously to get into BIOS setup.
Note: Please don't wait for windows logo to start pressing F2 key, soon as you power on system, start tapping. If you're able to get into BIOS then click on links below for possible solutions:
