    Cannot enter BIOS

    Hi guys Some time ago I made some changes in the BIOS menu, donโ€™t remember what, but I am unable to enter nowโ€ฆ

    When I power on the PC and press F2 (my combo) it leads me to OS menu (there is also run system diagnostic option)โ€ฆ

    The laptop supports UEFI, but I donโ€™t have such an option to restart in UEFI firmware settingsโ€ฆ

    I tried with cmd โ†’ โ€œshutdown /r /rwโ€, I get message โ€œThe system could not find the environment option that was entered.(203)โ€โ€ฆ

    Any advice ?

    We could do with knowing the brand and model name or number of the notebook.

    Have you tried connecting a USB type keyboard in case it is the keypad that has an issue.

        But you won[ICODE]t know for sure unless you try an external keyboard, happy to leave you with it if you don[/ICODE]t want to try what is suggested, good luck.
