Could not locate '\EFI\Boot\bootia32.efi': [14] Not Found

When I boot up Windows 10 IoT (64-bit) on one specific device, before booting, a black screen with the following message always pops up:

** UEFI:NTFS (ia32) **

[INFO] Boot disk: PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x1D,0x7)/Usb(0x4,0x0)

[INFO] Disconnecting possible blocking divers

[INFO] Starting NTFS driver

[INFO] Started driver: efifs NTFS driver v1.0 (GRUB 2.0)

[INFO] Locating the first NTFS partition on the boot device

[INFO] Checking if partition needs the NTFS service

[INFO] Starting NTFS partition service

[INFO] Looking for NTFS EFI Loader

[FAIL] Could not locate '\EFI\Boot\bootia32.efi': [14] Not Found

Press any key to exit.

After pressing any button, it will continue booting as it should and there are no further problems with the device. It will work as good as the other ones where this message appears.

What is causing this message to appear? And subsequently, how can I fix this? Since I'm talking about an IoT device, it is impossible that you should press a key for it to boot, there won't be any keyboard attached to it.

I provided a quick fix as an answer below, but I'm looking for an answer that doesn't involve changing the BIOS settings on every device.

Something that I find rather confusing is that it asks for bootia32.efi (which I'm guessing is for 32 bit) and not bootx64.efi.

Solution 1:

I found a temporary solution by accident. If you go to your boot setup menu and change Configuration > Boot configuration > UEFI Boot to disabled, it won't show this screen again

Solution 2:

Your boot is GPT changer it to MBR ( when you instal the iso file on the usb chose MBR ...not GPT) and you will boot from the usb ....then delete all the partions disques then create a new one (when you want to instal the windows... if the systeme said that the disque on your pc is type GPT ) so when you delete the partition and create new one the type change to MBR ... and problem solve 100%
