How you get into BIOS after setting up Gigabyte ultra fast boot?

BossManSays

Is there a way to get into it without popping out the CMOS battery? I'd rather not have to if I don't.

You can also hold down the SHIFT button when pressing restart computer from the start menu.
This should bring up a page where you can select Troubleshoot  -> Advanced Options -> Boot into UEFI (or something)

Lol.
They did give you an option. You chose "ultra Fast Boot".

It's not a race to the bottom.

I can't even tell a difference in load speed. It's ridiculous.

Options such as "ultra fast boot" doesn't effect Windows.

It's designed to get past bios as fast as possible. It disables checks on boot up.
If you had many PCI-e, USBs and RAID configs connected then you may notice a difference in speed.
However if you don't then it's worthless.

Good to know. That reminds me I need to update my bios.

Hi all!

Im replying to this old post because I too had the issue of Ultra Fast boot and couldn't get into BIOS easily.

The solution above with Windows 10 Recovery boot, wasn't presenting the UEFI option for me so I couldn't get into BIOS that way.

 

However I found another nifty solution to disable Ultra Fast Boot!

 

Install Gigabytes APP Center + Fast Boot software. From there I could either boot into BIOS or just set the Boot type back to Normal or Fast Boot which solved my issue!

 

Hope this helps anyone in this timeline

It did, it did my friend. You saved at least one being in this timeline from crawling under the desk.

My solution:

1. Power Off

2. Pull the SATA Cable

3. Power On

4. Enter BIOS (F2)

5. Change Settings

6. Power Off

7. Plug in the SATA Cable
