Can't Access UEFI/BIOS

I had done that. Turns out it was a monitor detection issue. Thanks for your help though. Still weird to me that it would boot to windows regardless of monitor detection. 

Although this may seem obvious, this is a bit of a weird one. I am unable to access the UEFI even after selecting UEFI Firmware settings from the Windows Advanced Boot. I needed to change some BIOS settings recently regarding Virtualization. I first tried to access it using the Boot Key for my motherboard (F2/Delete Asus Tuf X570 Plus). Then I tried by going to the advanced boot menu by pressing shift plus restart from Windows 10. I clicked on the UEFI Firmware button (I have confirmed it is indeed UEFI) and then I press restart. My computer proceeds to restart and go straight to windows. Since I was having trouble with that I just pulled the NVMe my OS is installed on and tried booting. It posts but doesn't show anything. My computer was working just fine and I don't have any strange or bizarre things set in the BIOS or the computer in general. This is very baffling to me. Any help would be very much appreciated. I will list some other system details below. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know. 

 

 

I have somewhat recently updated to Windows 10 to 21H1
