reopen bios?

[Fankywanky]

Does anyone know if you can reopen bios after installing windows on a pc? And if so, how?

[Godlygamer23]

If you hold Shift when you hit Restart, you should be able to reboot to access the UEFI/BIOS.

You boot the computer, then typically press F2 or sometimes also DEL before it starts booting into Windows (just start hammering the key as soon as you power on).

Assuming you don't have fast startup/boot enabled. Otherwise, it'll skip all that.

In the BIOS, which is where you can enable it.

So you're getting the expected splash screen, where you have options to determine if you want to go into the setup menu, boot menu, etc, but you just can't do anything?

Try holding Shift and hitting Restart. You should get options to reboot into the UEFI(which would give you the expected splash screen). And you disabled fast startup, correct?
