Why Does My Computer Only Boot to Bios?
Contents

Instead of getting to the Windows loading screen, the PC boots directly into the BIOS. This unusual behavior could be triggered by different causes: recently changed/added hardware, hardware damage, improper hardware connections, and other issues.

How do I boot into Windows instead of BIOS?

To boot to UEFI or BIOS:

  1. Boot the PC, and press the manufacturer’s key to open the menus. Common keys used: Esc, Delete, F1, F2, F10, F11, or F12. …
  2. Or, if Windows is already installed, from either the Sign on screen or the Start menu, select Power ( ) > hold Shift while selecting Restart.

How do I disable BIOS at startup?

Access the BIOS and look for anything that refers to turning on, on/off, or showing the splash screen (the wording differs by BIOS version). Set the option to disabled or enabled, whichever is opposite of how it is currently set. When set to disabled, the screen no longer appears.
