well, I've a laptop, it's a Lenovo V15-IIL.
I updated to windows 11 22h2, so I had changed my BIOS settings from Legacy to UEFI. But the Fast Boot is ALWAYS ON, if I turn off the fast boot, it turns on.
I'm saving the bios settings.
And yes, I turned off the Windows Fast Startup.

oh I don't know, I bought this computer one year ago
I thought is the CMOS battery, but if is the CMOS, why I can't save just the fast boot setting?

1) I'll check
2) I don't know
3) Because Windows 11 22H2 needs Secure Boot, i don't know why, but if I use "BypassSecureBootCheck" in Registry it does not work

well... I changed OS optimized defaults from ENABLED to DISABLED and now the audio is better (i don't know why) and the setting is still DISABLED. I changed Fast Boot to disabled too, but Fast Boot is enabled again...

This should explain secure boot.

Secure boot

Provides guidance on what an OEM should do to enable Securely booting a device
learn.microsoft.com

Secure boot is a security standard developed by members of the PC industry to help make sure that a device boots using only software that is trusted by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). When the PC starts, the firmware checks the signature of each piece of boot software, including UEFI firmware drivers (also known as Option ROMs), EFI applications, and the operating system. If the signatures are valid, the PC boots, and the firmware gives control to the operating system.

The OEM can use instructions from the firmware manufacturer to create Secure boot keys and to store them in the PC firmware. When you add UEFI drivers, you'll also need to make sure these are signed and included in the Secure Boot database.

Prior to the install of Windows 11 you did make sure that they TPM was active?

That you confirmed the system is combatable with Window11?

Plus made sure that prior no BIOS needed to be updated?

it is compatible because before using UEFI mode I had windows 11 (one of the first versions) with bypass files, now that I switched to 22h2 I used UEFI and I didn't have to bypass anything

I want to avoid a BIOS update. I've been used to solving by trying everything leaving the BIOS update as the last option... CMOS battery? I actually thought about it, but the date still works fine even when it's left off for days... if the problem was the battery CMOS shouldn't it not save all BIOS settings?

P.S.
this is the first and last product that i buy from lenovo, there are few options in the bios, also i can't even disable the boot logo, i would like to use the windows one instead i have to have that ugly rectangle with LENOVO written on it

I am sorry would have to see the screen a bit confused here.

Are you getting the login for windows 11 or is that screen coming up prior to the Windows 11 login screen?

Not blaming you a bit on the BIOS if not done correctly will brick the system.

@Bruce may have more ideas and suggestion.

why do you want to disable fast boot?

know it sounds weird, but I think that’s the problem that’s causing my battery to drain. I know fast boot doesn’t cause this problem, but it’s strange that these two problems appeared together... I left the computer off last night, it was 70% when I turned it off, this morning I turned it on and it’s 63%... I mean... I have already changed the Windows settings of energy saving.

This is all that the UEFI Fast Boot does.

Fast Boot is a feature in UEFI/BIOS that reduces your computer boot time with initialization of a minimal set of devices required to launch active boot option.

Think that it is time to get a speccy report to see what is going on with the system.

Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

Your laptop was manufacture in June 2020.

Make sure Hibernation is enabled. then try turning off fast boot in BIOS.

Try to edit Local Group Policy.

Have you tried disabling it in regedit?

You can try and run sfc /scannow from CMD right click choose run as admin.

I had an issue in Windows 10, when I turned my laptop off, the next day the battery was always drained. The power setting "Choose what the power button does" kept resetting /reverting to sleep/hibernation. I would check to see if similar has happened in your Windows 11 OS. I am now running Windows 11.
