How to Enter BIOS on Windows 10 Laptop

Entering BIOS on Windows 10 Laptop

Scenario: Hitting the F2 key to enter BIOS during laptop power/ start up on does not work. It continues to boot up into Windows 10 login screen.

Solution: 

Windows 10 keeps the Fast Startup feature same as Windows 8. In Fast Startup mode, it only saves the system booting information. When the you press the power button of the system, it will boot the system to the user's default setting. 

Fast Startup could have some issues such as:

1) Press F2 will not enter BIOS configuration when booting the system

2) Press F9 will not restore the system to factory default setting when booting the system

The two actions will work only when the system shut down completely. Since the concept of Fast Startup is similar to Sleep Mode, it means the system will not shut down completely. This the reason that the two actions can't work.

To disable Fast Startup upon next shut down, perform the following,

1. Hold and press [Shift] then turn off the system.
