Ive successfully used the method recommended in those two questions in the past with Windows 7 but it doesn't seem to be working with Windows 10. I believe I had the same problem with Windows 8.1. I'm not sure about Windows 8.

It is not necessary to hack the ms-windows registry (that I have done many times). The real problem is that ms-windows does not sync the clock at startup as Linux does.For myself the simplest solution was installing TimeSync from -soft.de/software/time_sync/details/download.php?language=enSure, there are similar software you can use to make ms-windows sync time at startup as Linux does. It is your choice!Now both OS are happy! as they change the clock and do not need to be hacked.


Hi Forum,



It took my attention that three of the Dell Clients in the company experienced the same behaviour after a BIOS Update came through the Windows Update Tool. Before the BIOS was updated a couple of Intel updates were installed therefore I express my concern here.

The shown behaviour is that after the installation, the equipments most be reboot and by booting up they remain on "loading" at the initial Dell Logo, after that windows can't be booted anymore but only on safe mode. After a Systemrepair performed in the safe mode I was able to boot up windows again (not always) but after a reboot of the system the problem was there again.


The updated laptops are all different models: Latitude 5431, Latitude 5420 and a Inspiron 7706 2n1. From those Notebooks only the Latitutde 5431 was connected to the dockingstation.



It's also important to remark, that the updates were received between the first and the second week of februeary and that by other equipments the update was installed without problem.



Do you have any hint about a known problem or a way to isolate better the issue?


But the bios is created by dell and owned by dell, not Intel. Yes, dell bios updates can be delivered by Windows update, which is a problem that dell and microsoft have to resolve. Personally, I would never allow a bios update from windows update. And, if the bios is critical, all the more important that you manage it. As I said, a dell bios delivered by Windows Update should have been optional. Was it not? If it was not, then you need to be complaining loudly to dell and microsoft. If it was optional, then your install procedure needs attention. And, do not try to derive anything from a NUC bios update.

I see this come up from time to time, and once in a blue moon, I need to get into mine. The main issue always seems to be in hitting the proper Fx key at just the right moment. The proper Fx key can be different on different computers. For example, my ASUS laptop uses F2, which is a little unusual.


I also have an ASUS motherboard and use the same command to enter BIOS mode but, like @Drcard:)) suggested, instead of a batch file I created a shortcut and added it to my Start Menu along with the Restart, Shutdown and Recovery Mode shortcuts already there.


I think F2 is pretty standard for entering the UEFI/BIOS setup these days, at least on laptops. All three of the PCs (all laptops) have this key. My desktop (with a motherboard more than ten years old) uses Del, which was always the AMI standard (and this Asus board uses AMI).


I turned my command to boot to BIOS into a truly one click shortcut. I placed the command in a bat file. I created a Task in Task Scheduler to run this bat. Task Scheduler has a setting to allow a task to run with highest privileges without any extra clicks or windows. I created a shortcut to that Task which runs the bat file (the command) with highest privileges. Thus one click on my shortcut does boot to BIOS.

I placed this shortcut to my custom toolbar on the Taskbar that has shortcuts to almost every tool/app of the Windows System.


How and the hell are we supposed to operate with garbage like this ? I can't even get into my cooling fan profile . How am I supposed to get in when this software blocks access to the most basic part of the PC ?


@oiuweqdoiup hello friend I have found the solution to this particular problem you just need a led tv with an HDMI. Don't use a monitor and you might be able to see the motherboard manufacturers startup logo I was frustrated with this problem for 4 days and I searched everywhere and this was the solution.After that just turn off secure boot and csm support. Hope this helps someone in need


I am having the exact same problem and my motherboard is Gigabyte Z370. Using any of the get into BIOS methods result in the same behaviors, Black screen that I have never waited more than 20 minutes before forcing a shutdown or just going straight into the windows sign in screen. I need to get into the BIOS to shut off the internal graphics. It is trying to run with my Nvidia 2060 Super graphics card and causeing strange results like creating a 4th screen that's deminished in size. I am running a 3 monitor setup. And my Device Manager says the inboard graphics is present. And Under monitors there is a 4th one that says it's generic. All 4 of these monitors show up in Display Settings.


@SexT5Vette hey brother I had exact issue and the simple solution is to use and led tv with HDMI don't use a monitor but a tv with normal aspect ratio or refresh rate and then check if the flash screen to enter bios appear and change quick boot in bios that's it.


On your BIOS is X" drive planted with Hacker, have copy of FAKE windows 11 Pro in my case and nbody can get rid of this drive. It is impossible regarding set of your BIOS. Your BIOS id absolutely Hackers and Hacker is OWNER of your computer. Tou can do nothing. Regedit is very changed in about 80 cases, Services totaly screwed and uou can not disable or enable almost any services. Boot drive X: is about 3MB volume.


Go through the various UEFI/BIOS Setup tabs to report back the settings for UEFI (should be enabled), CSM or Legacy BIOS (should be disabled unless trying to boot a Legacy Windows install on the PC), Secure Boot (should be enabled) and Boot Priority order (Windows Boot Manager should remain first to boot at all times).


Hi Aaron, I have the same model and i unfortunately occurred on the same problem/virus, how u solved the issue? I'm still not sure if it's in the bios after I formatted and reinstalled win downloaded from another device, but to be 100% sure I would like to know how to have a check on the bios.

Thanks!


Virus can't be detected. It's not looking in the area of the drive that's infected. Windows is running in virtual mode and the anti virus software is scanning the Windows you installed, but not the rootkit (infected) Windows you are running under.


" Try f2 or delete. I recommend rebooting and as soon as the machine has power, tap either of these keys continously until you get in. You may find that Compaqs boot past the spot where you can get into the bios quite fast and it may require a few attempts. "


if that doesn't work you might want to check on the HP site...looks like you might be able to get a BIOS update - that would be the only other thing, aside from maybe popping the CMOS, that I can think of that might get you into setup. Catching the BIOS screen is kinda tough so maybe you just need to try tapping F10 as the screen is going by...you really don't want to be guessing which key gets you setup otherwise the OS will be booting before you realize it and maybe you missed the F10 key during the 1.5 second interval or whatever for getting into setup.


I know on the Dell laptops there's the speedstep settings in the BIOS that superscede Windows settings, which I find pretty annoying, so turning off all the controls in Setup for when the system is on AC power is a must...otherwise it kills the cpu clocks!


screen even turned black when u crashed ur system and its scanning for files.... and windows isnt started yet... its turned black : its not related to screen saver its something in the bios im sure :


Ok when I start it , I see the cursor it flash and disapears, but I kpet pressing F10 from the begining

as in press release press release... i tryed it a few times but it doenst work :( and after a little while it beeps beeps when i press F10..


Ill read the manual since your not. QUOTE after turning on or rebooting the computer hit F10 when the curser is blinking then give the MATSER PASSWORD.

You may now proceede entering the setup/BIOS."

Could it be that you dont know the master password?


This is how your hardware (processor, cdrom, sound card, etc) are able to interact with your OS. The BIOS is an OS...a basic one for hardware input. All "flashing" the BIOS means is that you're upgrading the version of its Basic Input OS...this is also good for any time you have a problem with hardware - especially on something like a new laptop. Flashing the BIOS and popping the CMOS battery are two things I would do if I could not get into setup and I knew I was pressing the keys right. I have had systems that just don't want to go into setup...old Dells liked to do that and sometimes you flash the BIOS and pop the CMOS and still it wouldn't let you into setup...then one day you decide to turn on the old heap after it's been sitting under your desk for two months and blammo, it works and you get setup yaaaaay! I have already seen a few posts from users with 1750's who were unable to get into setup...maybe this is the same problem you are having...or maybe you press F10 too much and fill up the system buffer before getting the cursor...you said it beeps - hard for me to say.
