An alternative would be, restart Windows, so the fast startup is no used, then as soon as you get to the desktop, before all background services, and 3rd party software is loaded, use the SA86 checker.
Windows Hello loading is more or less instantaneous....almost the speed of light.....nothing is available before face recognition.

Good to see more and more people getting their BIOS updates done. I wonder what the 3d mark fire strike hit is (my main benchmark tool). Still waiting for ASUS z170 pro gamer bios update - hopefully very soon
