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.

2022-11-19T07:22:30+00:00 Thanks for your reply. I’ve done the CMOS battery removal and jumper bridging on the motherboard, it doesn’t work. When I hit DEL during boot up I still get a blank black screen instead of into the BIOS. If memory serves me correctly fastboot is not set as pre-Windows 11 I was able to access the BIOS and I recall turning it off then. This is beyond frustrating not being able to access the BIOS.
