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.

Sorry mate no solution as yet. I can’t believe Microsoft hasn’t got a solution to this though. I’m on the brink of resetting my PC and installing Windows 10 just to access the BIOS then doing a fresh install of Windows 11, but such a schlep. Please Microsoft help with this?
i have the same problem, can mash del key to get to bios or power off and on three times to get to windows recovery but can not do it via advanced startup> restart now; option in windows 11 settings. have even tried creating a new recovery drive thru "reagentc" command in cmd prompt and fresh install of windows 11 but still no success. will repost here if i find a solution
Thanks for that Guy - I look forward to hearing back if and when a solution is found. I have even tried a complete clean install of Windows 11 on my PC and still I cannot access the BIOS no matter which method I use. Same blank screen every time. It truly is bizarre. Hoping for a solution soon. Cheers.
Got your message Agiles69. took my computer to repair shop and they made a liar out of me. told them the problem and they couldn't replicate the error. It worked perfectly apparently it was only the cable to my monitor causing the problem, So i changed it from a display port to hdmi cable and it booted to Windows RE, So not sure if its the monitor (The High Hz display) or the graphics card (The actual ports) causing the issue. Just happy to finally be able to access Window RE, i am going to try changing the setting in bios from auto to gen 3 for the pcie slot for the graphics card to see if that is causing the issue.
Good luck Cheers out.
Glad you got yours sorted. I've tried with and without my graphics card, changed monitors, cables the lot - nothing works. I am truly at my wits end with it now.
