You're experiencing issues with Windows launching quickly after power-on, preventing access to BIOS settings. The system seems to bypass the BIOS entry prompt. To resolve this, you may need to reset the BIOS or perform a factory reset. Consider using a USB recovery tool or formatting the SSD and HDD before reinstalling Windows from a bootable drive. If the pen drive works as a boot device, ensure it's properly connected and try booting from there. Consult ASUS support for specific steps related to your motherboard model.
Another method involves using Windows 10 with a working recovery setup. Navigate to Settings → Update & Security → Recovery → Advanced Startup, then select the option to boot from UEFI BIOS during startup.
My M.2 starts up very fast, so I press the power button and quickly click repeatedly to enter BIOS (since the screen doesn’t appear quickly enough). If Fast Boot is active, it might need turned off to allow more time in BIOS (you can reset Fast Boot inside BIOS if enabled). Also, a regular restart takes longer because it fully restarts all apps. You might want to wait for a proper restart instead.
