Cannot boot into UEFI BIOS or Boot Menu
Belarc reports UEFI: American Megatrends Inc. P11-B2
Operating System: Windows 10 Home (x64) Version 1511 (build 10586.494)
Installed: 4/27/2016 5:58:22 AM Servicing Branch: Current Branch (CB)
Boot Mode: UEFI with successful Secure Boot.
This is my brother’s computer: originally it was Win8, upgraded to Win8.1 and then in Apr to Win10.
--- The computer runs OK and I’ve shown him how to use MRF to create system image backups.
--- Today Aug 8 we tried to test recovering yesterday’s Aug 7 system image backup.
--- It didn’t go well at all.
--- The MR recovery DVD-RW didn’t boot up in order to test it.
I thought of disabling Secure Boot to see if that was blocking the MR bootable Rescue DVD-RW.
However we weren’t able to boot into either the UEFI BIOS or Boot Menu.
--- According to our notes DEL is used to boot into the UEFI BIOS and F12 is for the Boot Menu.
--- However when booting up: in less than a split second something scrolls up but the computer immediately boots into Windows to log in.
--- That’s much too fast to get into the UEFI BIOS or Boot Menu.
--- Please help us figure out what to do.
Following that I’ll have to learn how to ensure proper system image backups and recovery using MRF.
--- I don’t recall any issues when I had Win7 but re-training myself makes sense to me because it’s obvious I don’t understand it well.
--- For now I’m going to completely uninstall MRF from his computer and hope to start over with a clean slate.
