Hello
I have 2 GB/32 GB + Win10 DFR0418 latte panda.
I have bought this board 2,5 years ago and it was working correctly since then. I was uploading a zip file in a software on my lattepanda when suddenly it started lagging and then displaying the attached screen. Esc key does not work and keeps repeating "Shell >_". F3 does not work either.
What should I do ? Should I hard reset it ? Or reinstall windows ? Will I loose my files ? I am clueless about what happened and what I should do.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Lattepanda won't start correctly (EPI shell)

@djoulittaparis,are you able to get into BIOS menu now? pls check if there is Windows Boot Manager option in BIOS. if not, you can try reinstall windows and you will lose all files.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. Could you please indicate me how to check if there is Windows Boot Manager option in BIOS (and how to get to BIOS) and in case there is not what is the procedure to reinstall Windows on my LP?
Thanks a lot. Hopefully I have a copy of all files on another laptop.

Keep hitting ESC key during booting, you will get into BIOS menu. Navigate to Boot part and you will see the boot options.
