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.

    so i found a way to fix this i had this issue for almost 5 months now , so what i did is when i click restart holding the shift key i turn off the monitor i wait for about 10 seconds ( depends on how fast your pc is on restarting )

    when the pc boots up again i turn the monitor back on and this time i get display and everything works fine

    extra note : i switched my refresh rate to 60hz and did all of the above

    another fix for this is that i when i use my old amd6700 gpu it works perfectly fine and loads into bios normally

    so try using your built in gpu if you dont have an extra gpu

    And still no solution from Microsoft - it's almost as if they don't care! 8-)

    I, too, have tried all known methods and can't boot into bios/uefi. Even this method didn't work for me. There's got to be an answer.

    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.
