Not on my computers for the past 20 years.
If the default is not bootable a “no bootable device found” message appears.
computers should never automatically boot from external storage, unless the user wants to.
- try to boot the internal devices
- then try external (some even distinguish optical and key fobs)
- then try PXE
and only when all of these fail, message the user "no bootable device found".
And even then this message appeared
Press any key to boot from CD...
because computers should never automatically boot from external or removable storage
that's why a more modern version of the same message exists
It won't boot from USB if the internal drive boots, or unless I manually change boot order.
Having said all that, this comment is all anecdotal, much like yours.
