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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Thanks for reporting back what worked, to help others. It probably means something in msconfig > Services had been edited out of startup that needed to be there.
Let me know if I can help further. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case you need anything else, until the system locks it in a few months.
none of these worked, but I found the SOLUTION:
1- open RUN program
2- type msconfig and press Enter
3- in General tab choose NORMAL STARTUP
4- reboot and the mobo splash logo should appear and if you try to go bios mode it should work, it did for me.
for some reason that worked for me from having no signal on the monitor to fully working bios and advanced startup.
Hi OS. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.
If you have the modern UEFI BIOS and Windows is installed correctly to UEFI, then you can access the BIOS/UEFI setup via the Windows 11 Recovery mode as shown here:
https://www.onmsft.com/how-to/enter-into-bios-i...
If that option is not available and you can not trigger the BIOS via the key you confirm is the one for your model PC or motherboard here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/comprehensive-lis... powering on while holding down or tapping the key, then you can try resetting the CMOS as shown here: https://www.maketecheasier.com/how-to-reset-cmo...
If that fails then look into whether your PC or motherboard supports bootable BIOS updates to update your BIOS to the latest or reflash the latest version if if you have the latest.
One last resort thing to try is to unplug the hard drives/SSD's to see if you can enter BIOS then. This usualiy means boot level code is causing this, so isolate which drive is causing it, slave it to another PC to copy out the data and wipe it with Diskpart Clean Command: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/85819-erase... and then reformat in Disk Management:

Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back I may have other suggestions if necessary.
