Access the BIOS in Windows 8.1.64

How to access the BIOS screen when the computer restarts?

Hello

Temporarily shut down the PC by pressing the left SHIFT you click Shutdown to prevent a boot hybrid.

Now on TAP the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to see if it will launch the Start Menu.  If this is the case, select f10 to open the bios menu.

Kind regards

  • Problem of access of the bios under windows 8

    Hello

    Since the update my pc windows 7 to 8, I have had problems with the BIOS I can access is no longer the bios by pressing f2 on my keyboard, I've been on people to sort for weeks to try to get this problem but I have anywhere below are a list of things I've tried
    1. communicate with my Packard bell manufacturing gave no progress if the question has been reassigned to tell me it was a software problem with windows
    2. I contacted a local technician who did not know what the problem was
    3. I contacted Microsoft answering service who told me that I should try to access BIOS through advanced, startup was missing why it worked several important things like
    The UEFI firmware settings and use a device (firmware settings is very important because it allows the pc to boot directly from the bios)
    4. I contacted Proton an independent company with experienced technicians, who suggested the same thing as Microsoft
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    As you do not access the BIOS from Windows at all, not sure how this is a Microsoft issue.  The BIOS is what starts after the POST or Power On Self Test.  Then the BIOS takes over and from there it resets the Windows MBR to start.

    Therefore, hit F2 before you see anything to do with Windows, while F2 is the key used to access the BIOS Setup.  As soon as you see something to do with Windows, it is far along the boot process and you must try again.
  • Satellite U940 - cannot start or access the BIOS settings

    I try to help with a HARD on a U940 disk failure. The laptop still works a failure has been (almost certainly) the entire HARD disk.

    I have a new HARD drive in place but I'm unable to access BIOS, and the machine does not start of course. Just a black screen while the computer is trying to do something...

    • Then put the F2 on does not work
    • Then put the F12 on does not work
    • Then put the ESC on does not work
    • Out the battery did not work
    • Out the battery and the power cord and the discharge by pressing the power button / stop for 60 seconds, did not work.

    I can't get to the BIOS. In my view, that the machine was based on the Intel hybrid disc stuff using the DDI in RAID before and this quick book has been activated. Of course, I am unable to clean the machine to stop more since I can't start up with the old drive.

    What I really want to do, is to put everything back. Get rid of any RAID stuff and put Windows on the new HARD drive. Any ideas how I can get into the BIOS to move all of the RAID or FastBoot stuff?

    Is it possible to disable hybrid sleep physically? Remove the CMOS battery? Replace the memory? I can't do it from the software or access the BIOS and I wonder if it is what keeps a clean boot.

  • Satellite Pro S500-14Z - how to access the BIOS?

    Hello

    on the Satellite Pro S500-14Z I can´t access the BIOS via F2 and can´t change the bootpriority through F12. By pressing F2 or F12 during startup, the S500 beeps and restarts. When you first start, I had access to the Bios and set the password and active supervisor module TPM. Since I have no access to the BIOS before Windows starts. Is there another key to access bios (I tried ESC, DEL, F1, INS) or how can I change the pw supervisor (I know my real password!) and disable the TPM?

    Thank you
    Karl

    Hi karlS_1,

    Normally you can access the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows starts. It works with an external keyboard?

    You can change some settings in the BIOS using Toshiba HWsetup. This tool is preinstalled on your laptop and you can change the order of boot with this tool.

  • HDX18: Cannot access the BIOS with F10

    Try to access my BIOS to set the boot on USB device sequence. Can't!

    Power and press F10 repeatedly does not bring me in the config of the BIOS beeps fair to me when my keyboard buffer is full and then continues in charge of the operating system.

    Never see option to press the keys to access BIOS either.

    Thanks for trying to help out.

    My system is a laptop from earlier versions of Windows 8 (2010) and MUST have posted the option to enter in the configuration at the start, but didn't. I had previously improved OS 32 bit to 64 bit - who created another folder Program Files, which in turn have brought masses of disk space. I then upgraded to Windows 10 and did not like the slow, he ran then, I wanted to install a clean Windows 10 and created a bootable USB device. That's when I found I couldn't access the BIOS to change my boot device.

    After trying everything I could find without success, I started the machine and once Windows has loaded, I pressed the SHIFT key and select restart. This brought me to the screen Menu UEFI. I went to watch each of the options - no led me across a good kind, I moved back to the main menu screen and clicked on continue - go out and continue to load Windows.

    After getting a black screen, I can FINALLY see the option - press ESC to enter Setup... Hooray!

    Problem solved - for now!

  • Cannot access the BIOS on the Satellite L40T-A202

    Hello!

    Months ago, I've updated the bios of my laptop Toshiba L40T-A202. After reboot I can't access the bios. I fixed it by jumping the jcmos into the mobo. Now the problem occurrd again and I can't seem to fix it with the same problem I did.

    Can someone help me? This laptop was bought abroad and I don't want to spend a lot of cash and send it to the repair shops.

    Please help me on this.

    > I fixed it by jumping the jcmos into the mobo
    With this action, you certainly killed the guarantee. I really don't understand what was the reason for this action.

    For a better understanding, I have a few questions for you:
    Have you successfully updated the BIOS?
    You can start your machine properly?
    See Toshiba welcome screen on startup?
    Windows starts as usual?

  • Cannot access the BIOS on my Satellite U940-11 t

    Hello

    I have a problem with my computer.
    I installed a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows 8.
    I disabled the UEFI mode in order to install Ubuntu. But now I have more access to Windows, and I can't go into the BIOS menu to activate the UEFI.

    I tried all possible combinations (F2, ESC, F12, F10, F8, DEL,...) and none of them opens the menu of the BIOS.

    I read on a forum that if I put my battery, it will work, but it didn't.

    How can I access the BIOS? Is there a secret combination that I have not yet tried?

    Thanks for your help.

    The F2 key is the right one to access the BIOS.
    Try this method:
    Press F2, and then press the power button to power the unit in place.

    By the way: Windows 8 and 8.1 Win requires the permit secure boot and UEFI boot mode.

  • How to access the BIOS on Portege ct 3010

    I have a ct Portege 3010.
    When I had, it had Windows 98 installed on it, but I wanted to put Linux on it, so I could learn that.

    So I tried to get into the Bios to boot from my CD but could not get into the Bios or really do anything. Thus, in a final attempt, I reformatted the hard drive.

    Now, I can't not in what either.
    Can anyone help?

    I tried every button I thought me could get into the Bios and even tried to hit all, no one can seem to hit me.

    Hello

    To access the BIOS, you must use and press ESC immediately after that Portege was the power upward.

    But if I understand you right, you want to boot from the internal CD/DVD drive.

    Well, you can also try to press the C key.
    This would allow the start-up of the STRANGE.

    On the other hand, pressing F12 button would you used to activate the start on-screen menu.
    Then, choose the CD/DVD drive to boot from the CD-ROM.
