Hi everyone,
I'm dealing with a custom PC setup that has both openSUSE Tumbleweed and Windows 11 installed. When trying to restart from openSUSE into Windows 11, I notice something odd: the boot screen doesn't appear, and the usual F12 menu isn't visible either. Instead, the system jumps straight into openSUSE without showing any options. Pressing F12 right before the OS loads results in a black screen with no response. However, after completely shutting down the PC and restarting it briefly, the boot menu finally shows up. I've verified the BIOS settings are correct, so I'm not sure what's causing this behavior. Any suggestions or insights would be really helpful!

Consider this idea. Is Windows Fast Startup turned on in the Power Options settings?
