After weekend maintenance and updates a user has contacted the Help Desk where you work stating their computer is not booting. After evaluating the user's PC you notice it is incorrectly attempting to boot over PXE. What step should you do next?
Boot into safe mode and correct the PXE network address
Restart the PC and boot to the HDD or SSD
Reconfigure the BIOS boot order to prioritize the local disk
Replace the failing HDD or SDD causing PXE failover to trigger
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is an option for booting an operating system from an image that lives on a remote server. As the question states PXE is the incorrect boot option for this user the fix is to boot into the BIOS and change the boot order to instead boot to the local disk (SSD or HDD).
