System can’t reach BIOS but everything else works. Windows 11 is running normally. What’s happening?
I encountered a problem. I reached out to Asus support and the retailer about this issue. The BIOS won’t open at all, though Windows starts fine. I’ve tried several methods: - Opening BIOS via UEFI settings - Using both monitors (DP), single monitor, HDMI - Taking out my GPU and booting through integrated graphics (HDMI, DP) - Updating BIOS to the latest version - Removing CMOS for at least five minutes - Updating DP firmware for Nvidia - Changing CMOS battery - Shorting CMOS pins - Leaving only one RAM stick - Disconnecting both NVMe drives - Updating BIOS again - Using an older GPU (GTX 1070) I experience no crashes and everything works normally. There’s nothing unusual happening. Now I’m unsure what’s causing this and would really appreciate some guidance. My goal is just to access the BIOS and set the boot mode to Secure Boot.

Consider removing your Windows drive. The PC will likely start from BIOS only.
Then it won't boot from a boot drive, and you'll be prompted to access the BIOS. That functionality doesn't appear to be available.
I deleted both NVMe drives but the problem continues. The screen shows a splash and everything goes black. Boot menu appears green.
Identical results across every display I used. This issue affects all my monitors, including various DP and HDMI connections.
