I don't know if its a bug or this is how windows 11 is, I just can't access my bios nor the advanced startup, if I boot the computer and spam the BIOS MODE (delete key) it just goes into a black screen and nothing happens it just stays black as long as I keep it running same thing happens with trying to go into advanced startup after it restarts same thing happens black screen and nothing else no cursor nothing even the monitor goes into power saving mode.

I checked everything from cables to bios updates and nothing

plus it was completely working on windows 10 I can go to advanced startup no problem BIOS no problem

after updating to windows 11 it just doesn't work at all.

also a note that when I boot the computer or press the power button it stays black for 3-5 seconds and then instantly loads windows I don't see the motherboard logo or the modes I can go to before it starts loading windows.

    Thanks this worked for me!

    I turned off both monitor and desktop for 1 min and turned it all back on and was able to see prompt to enter Bios. Didn’t need to do recovery restart through Windows 11

    I’ll give that a try. Is it a hardware issue with Windows 11 or what?

    It's a display issue. I changed from a digital cable to an HDMI cable and the screen was there all the time but Un-displayed over DVI.

    I had 23" old model monitor in which I was getting the same issue.. i tried a another monitor of 24"newer model... And now the bios shows up and when I switched back to 23" i get the same issue again.

    So I don't know weather it's the resolution problem between the 2 monitors....or older Led vs newer Led issue or completely other issue ..

    But on 24" newer LED it works fine....I still don't have the solution for the original issue (have tried everything resetting bios and updating everything to latest drivers)... So hope Microsoft will find the actual problem and gets us the fix

    Fyi: Everything is working fine in windows 10... So I presume it has something to with the windows 11
