I use a USB stick to install Windows 11 on my new Dell computer. It shows Windows installation 100%, but after restarting, I get a boot loop. Never the login screen. I have changed the BIOS from RAID to AHCI without luck. Please share your thoughts!

Hi MuddyMayor-5788,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

1,How many computers are facing this issue? Does your USB media work on other computers?

2,When it reboots, unplug the install media to have a try and it should boot from your internal drive, the boot order must have the install media at a higher priority.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
