Critical error message. No bootable devices found

Hi. I have tried all the fixes on here by pressing F2 to go into the BIOS. However when I go into the boot sequence I cannot add or delete a boot option as there is nothing in the boot option  list. Desperate to get back online so any advice would be appreciated  Thanks

If you require assistance, you'll need to be far more specific.

What is the exact "critical" error message you're seeing?  If it came with a numeric code such as 2000-0142, etc. post that.

What model system is this (i.e, Inspiron N5110, 7779,etc.).

What OS is on the system?

Do you have a current backup of your data files?

Thank you for your help. The critical error message "no bootable devices found" was all that appeared on the screen when trying to boot. Its a Dell inspiron 7790 AIO system bios 1.6.4. . Version build 4400.08.  UEFI Rom. On the pre boot performance check scan it comes up with code 4400.08 success. Hardware scan complete with no issues. No bootable devices were found. Possible causes could be a corrupt OS image or a boot device is not enabled in BIOS setup. If I press F12 when booting it comes up with UEFI; secure boot on, PTT is on. If I try the recommended fix in the BIOS boot sequence there is nothing in the boot option list do I cannot add or delete a boot or swap between options as most fixes say. I would really appreciate some help as I depend on the computer to case manage my mother with Altzeimers. Thank you. I have my files backed up on one drive.

Apologies this went into my junk mail 
 
This happened unexpectedly on the morning of Friday 23rd October. The computer will not go past the initial message.  I have not installed any hardware or software recently. The last was a few months ago when I added light room for photo editing but been working fine for many months since. I think there may have been a windows update a couple of weeks ago but I am not certain.
 
Apologies I cannot reply to this message and dont know how to reply by private note.

I have attached another photo to my album. I cannot complete these steps as there is nothing under boot list and as file system not found I cannot add a boot oath manually. I have untenable and followed the rest of the steps although after the first action in the video all the stages are followed but there is not a yes after this? Can I not see the private messages as not available on my phone?
