Some users may run into this very problem.
What they can see is a SHELL window when the box starts/restarts, and it seems to have no way to get to the Windows desktop, despite they re-start the box again and again.
This problem occurs because the UEFI Shell is unintentionally set as the most priority boot option (Boot option #1).

Especially after re-installing the firmware.
The way to resolve it is to set the 'boot option priorities' in the right order.
Go to BIOS by pressing DEL key/button on the keyboard when you attempt to power on the unit, and select Boot option to check the 'boot option priorities'.
Make the eMMC or SSD as the Boot option #1.
Or you can type exit and press 'Enter' every time to go to the Windows OS.
Video instructions for 'setting boot option priorities in the right order‘ can be found here:
