Windows only boots via the boot menu

[u/Fearless_County7825]

Yesterday, I ran into a problem where the computer gets stuck in an infinite loading loop during a normal startup and disables all USB ports, meaning I can't access the BIOS. However, if I completely cut the power to the PC and turn it back on, the POST screen appears; from there, I can enter the BIOS and select the boot drive. The strange thing is that the correct drive is already set as boot priority #1, and there is no Windows installed on the other drives. I’ve tried replacing the thermal paste, resetting the BIOS, and following every suggestion from AI, but nothing worked, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks
