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.
although it seems the solution is different depending on your system but for me switching the hdmi cable from being connected to my gpu to the motherboard allowed me to actually get the splash screen when you boot up the pc to actually get into the bios
This affects two PCs I have built and is a relatively recent problem.
My older PC requires me to physically unseat the Nvidia 2070 every time before I can use the intel IGPU to get to the BIOS.
My much beefier, watercooled gaming computer uses an intel 13600KF CPU, so there is no onboard GPU to which I can revert. Even if I did have an IGPU, I'd still have to open my case and unseat my graphics card which is not an option because its watercooled and as such necessarily locked in place.
Microsoft, please address this.
EDIT: The solution for me was to reset my BIOS by removing the battery. Once back into the BIOS, the fix on my Asus z790 was to enable CSM--the compatibility support module. Looks like this is a likely BIOS problem, not a windows one.
I am not certain which of my rig is a "legacy" piece of hardware. Perhaps its my TV (Samsung q60 4k that I use as a monitor. It unlikely to be the Nvidia 3080ti video card.
Good luck everyone else.
I was having this exact same issue tried every solution suggested with nothing working.
Turns out it was that since my setup has 2 graphics cards - one Nvidia one and the one built into the intel chip- it also had 2 different places you could connect monitors.
I had plugged my monitors into the intel chip while the motherboard was connected to the NVidia gpu.
Once I connected the monitors to the NVidia my startup screens showed the normal logos and became able to display the BIOS on my monitor.
