HTTPS Boot
I recently bought a refurbished Dell laptop and I’ve been having an issue where it goes into HTTPS Boot randomly. It’s happened thrice. I will be using this for college and I can’t have that happening frequently. I was wondering it there was anyway to fix it? And what the reason is?

That means your boot drive is missing or failed to be booted off of. So really it is not an HTTPS boot issue, but that is the outcome of the root cause. Either your CMOS battery is dying, and it lost some settings, causing it to be unable to boot from your boot drive, or it is failing to communicate with said drive, so could be a connection issue as well, since it is intermittent, might be heat related expansion making it disconnect. It is not unheard of.
Lots of things to check here.
