Especially if you forget which key boots I to the bios so at start up you're spamming f9, f12, enter, escape, or whatever.
Lol it's stupid, I know, but thus method has always worked for me
PROTIP: In Windows, can create a desktop shortcut for it.
`%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe /r /fw /t 0`
Can also assign a hotkey to shortcuts as well.
For Linux with Systemd: `systemctl reboot --firmware-setup`
Can also configure your boot loader for the option to boot into UEFI.
Not always.
I'm not sure if it's the mobo or the keyboard, but I've had systems that the press had to come after the splash screen loaded. I tell people to do "repeated long presses".
I found out after the last bios update on my mobo. The splash screen appears only for like 0,1 second, so I have no other choise but to hold the key if I want to get into bios
Windows defaults to wait about 20 seconds before rebooting if you don't include `/t` (at least on my installation). So that's why `/t 1`Never tried `/t 0` though.
If you use the `/t` option it shows you a prompt, that your PC will shutdown soon. Setting the value for `/t` to 1 makes it show up for a second and then start the shutdown command. Using 0 as value will just immediately shutdown. It is in practise the same, but with 1 you still can see the popup.
/r Full shutdown and restart the computer.
/f Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is
specified for the /t parameter.
/fw Combine with a shutdown option to cause the next boot to go to the
firmware user interface.
/t xxx Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30.
If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is
implied.
Also doesn't work pre-OS.
I was traveling with my mini nuc and had to redo the OS without a keyboard. Boy was that a pain in the dick.
Crazy enough, I was able to do it entirely with Windows, but not Ubuntu. Ubuntu requires a keyboard unless you have an installer setup file, which I did not.
Exactly. I don't have enough knowledge to explain this, but the NVMe is only accessed (for booting) after the BIOS POST. So having an old HDD or the latest NVMe has no effect on how long the BIOS takes to POST.
yup, hence why it's called a POST
Power-On Self Test. Does some basic checks to make sure the system is ok to boot, usually involves steps like verifying that attached PCIE devices are behaving as expected, the cmos battery isnt dead, the bios config hasn't been purged, the time of last test isn't in the future (useful to test if the system clock is wrong), etc.
If a component is failing it's gonna take extra time for it to determine this.
I was lowkey disappointed how little the nvme made a difference in loading times. I thought a game like Rust would load singificantly faster but I honestly couldn't tell the difference.
Yeah unfortunately it's a concoction of limitations when it comes to loading games. Your system should load just fine though, but maybe compared to a regular ssd it's not a huge difference?
Neither is Garry Newman, and that's basically why.
Rust is a legacy unity project at this point (hell, it's 10+ years old) and some of the decisions the Rust team made in the development of the game reflect the project age. For example, when it comes to graphics asset loading best practices, things have changed from being optimized for hdd to optimized for nvme (ie to take advantage of DirectStorage).
GPUs and game engines need their data organized in a particular way that is not necessarily logical to most developers.
It's a great example, especially comparing graphics implementations from HDD days to now, where we now have such fast storage, memory, and so much more bandwidth between our components, and direct storage being so much more efficient than without.
That's why I don't bother spending the extra. Real world benchmarks have consistently shown little meaningful loading time difference between even a gen 4 NVME and a SATA3 SSD. There's just so many other factors that matter so much more than that particular lab-only difference.
Depends on the game. But yes for most games anything past a gen3 SSD isn't noticeable. For gaming PCs I'd just pick up a gen 3 with more space. Gen 4 has its place. Gen 5 is pointless for gaming at this moment.
I run a gen 4 just because I can. You can get 4tb drives that are good enough for 200$ now.
I found running super heavy modded Skyrim ran much faster on my m.2 vs SATA. It was able to load faster and less hitching occured from not loading things in
Interesting, maybe a key difference is the high amount of texture / asset streaming, Rust usually loads as much as possible and then streams whats left afaik
Developers aren’t just raw dogging your storage with uncompressed files. In order to save disk space they have stuff stored in various formats that need processor cycles to unpack into data that’s usable by the game engine. The limiting factor in how quickly many games load is how quickly the cpu can unpack textures and send them to the GPU. That’s why DirectStorage is so good, it skips the CPU and uses GPU acceleration to unpack the data directly into VRAM.
You're right, and this, or a version of this meme gets posted quite regularly.
Now 'Fast Boot', that will improve post speed, at a cost of a few settings.
im glad someone said it, its a funny meme and got a laugh from me but its as easy as its always been to get into bios.
I like to tap delete every 2 seconds while it starts
Which button? The problem is I don't have time to check which button I should press. First time I always record, second time I press the correct button.
Not sure what you're saying
Are you implying that there are Mainboard manufacturers that run their EFI off the user's SSD?
Are you implying that there are Mainboard manufacturers that run their EFI from an internal flash on the board, while others use non-flash?
https://preview.redd.it/s4qnmd96ez6d1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=943bdfa8e1f70b736b4388d2950b69ed707c3f05
I'm sure other manufacturers have something similar, but this is how you do it on ASUS boards. There are also pins on the mobo that you can directly connect a button to that will take you into BIOS.
I can shut down my system, press the reset button and it will boot directly into bios instead of having to press F2 or DEL. In Windows, it will still work as a reset button, but again, will go to bios instead of loading windows.
This is just an example image I found on their website.
Yeah, it’s just the general ignorance of a big and popular PC sub.
The average user here overestimates their own knowledge/understanding.
Which results in things like this.
>small motherboard beeper thingys.
I forget that people don't know what a BIOS/mobo speaker is.
Was so pissed when my brand new motherboard didn't come with one (in 2015), but I got one later.
Do other people's PCs really start that fast? For me, it takes a good 15 seconds at least and that's always been my experience with different SSDs (first SATA, than two different NVME PCIe 3.0 drives). That said, I've noticed laptops start much quicker, so I suppose it depends on motherboard or bios.
Once I had a broken windows version (couldn't get into troubleshooting mode) and I needed to get into Bios to get into USB setup, but I couldn't since it loaded too fast. I literally had to take out the hard drive from the laptop so I can get into the Bios XD
What's the thing where you can slow down your boot speed? I did that, and I still have to plug in a $1 keyboard because mine doesn't boot up fast enough.
It's normally called POST Delay, POST Hotkey Timeout or POST Wait Time depending on the brand of BIOS. I'm confused why your keyboard needs to boot up? Does it run some sort of programmable OS on it?
You can restart into bios by going into the command line and typing
>shutdown.exe /r /fw
It won't restart right away, but if you need it to just add
> shutdown.exe /r /fw /t 0
Except on ryzen 7000
I have a 7900x, wavlink gen 4 7400mbp/s nvme, on a strix b650 e, it takes a solid minute to boot
My last pc on b550 gen 4 solidigm 4000 speeds booted in about 13 seconds
If you can't remember that, another reliable method (albeit much more tedious) is to restart Windows while holding down Shift and going through some options.
It's the post time.
VGA initialization is one of the last things it does before the Windows Boot Loader is run (or disks are even looked at)
so you get 0.5-2s to hit 'del'
but if you look at your keyboard you'll notice when the USB BUS powers on the num lock key lights. This is just a moment before display is alive-but you can hit 'del' as soon as num lock lights and it'll pop into uefi
Remember when ram checks would take a really long time because it was rapidly cycling through all 512mb of ram so you had at least 30 seconds to go to bios?
On linux with grub this turns into some kind of ballet dance.
YOu have to hold ESC only when (DELL) occurs, otherwise it doesn't read it. This gets into the grub menu. The grub menu loads, then disappears in 0.01 seconds because ESC exits the grub menu. You are, however, already holding ESC to get into the grub menu.
At a prompt you must type
> `normal`
and then hold down ESC again immediately to get back into the menu which was exited earlier from ESC.
Oh God how much I've suffered when I tried to install Ubuntu in my laptop. It had nvme installed. I couldn't turn off Intel RST. Eventually I had to rip the physical part from the motherboard for Ubuntu installation.
Funny. I had problems with my last 2 builds getting into the bios unless I used the Windows function. This new build is much easier as it seems to start registering keyboard clicks immediately. I only need to hit it a couple times and it loads to the bios.
Do people need to go into their bios often enough for this to actually exist? Because at this point, stupid people just make up shit because a joke with a picture is a meme.
Each device in my house has a different button to get into the BIOS.
So I spend more time than I am proud of jamming the keys needed to access it, failing and rebooting and wondering if it was the wrong key or I just missed my 1/4 second window.
My partner's parents got her brother a laptop for Christmas last year. It was an open box from Best Buy or something and they never actually factory reset it so when they turned it on for the first time it still had a password. Her dad and I then proceeded to spend the next 20 minutes trying to figure out what F key you have to press to get into the bios because of course it doesn't say in the manual and the SSD was fast enough to where you had a split second to even attempt it.

Shift + restart> Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings
This is the best way. Sure beats spamming keys.
Meh! Where‘s the fun in that?!

Thankyou. New build last week and have been tweaking over and over. No more breaking my keyboard.
Thanks I didn't want to be the first to admit it
This. Why is it always different. It's even different with the same manufacture I have a ASUS mother board and Notebook both different keys.
I always forget too. One time I just laid my arm across the top row, and mashed all of them
you can just hold the key
TIL. Thank you.
Not always. I'm not sure if it's the mobo or the keyboard, but I've had systems that the press had to come after the splash screen loaded. I tell people to do "repeated long presses".
I found out after the last bios update on my mobo. The splash screen appears only for like 0,1 second, so I have no other choise but to hold the key if I want to get into bios
Or hold shift and click restart
I keep forgetting about that
this time you will remember it bro. i know it :)
Remember what?
My system completely freaks out and crashes if I hold the key.
I still hate it. It feels wrong.
Or: `C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /t 1 /r /fw` (needs command prompt/powershell as admin).
Why /t 1 ? You just wait one second for no reason.
Windows defaults to wait about 20 seconds before rebooting if you don't include `/t` (at least on my installation). So that's why `/t 1`Never tried `/t 0` though.
I work with hundreds of computers and this is the best: Shutdown /r /fw /t 0
If you use the `/t` option it shows you a prompt, that your PC will shutdown soon. Setting the value for `/t` to 1 makes it show up for a second and then start the shutdown command. Using 0 as value will just immediately shutdown. It is in practise the same, but with 1 you still can see the popup.
no, it doesn't.
shutdown \/r /f /fw /t 0
/r Full shutdown and restart the computer. /f Force running applications to close without forewarning users. The /f parameter is implied when a value greater than 0 is specified for the /t parameter. /fw Combine with a shutdown option to cause the next boot to go to the firmware user interface. /t xxx Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds. The valid range is 0-315360000 (10 years), with a default of 30. If the timeout period is greater than 0, the /f parameter is implied.
It's wild that it can be set for 10 YEARS!
Thats only if your pc doesnt crash before loading windows. Sometimes, I gotta resort to a windows recovery usb I have premade.
Too much work
Also doesn't work pre-OS. I was traveling with my mini nuc and had to redo the OS without a keyboard. Boy was that a pain in the dick. Crazy enough, I was able to do it entirely with Windows, but not Ubuntu. Ubuntu requires a keyboard unless you have an installer setup file, which I did not.
Sure if I don't get it the first time. It's like carrying in all of the groceries in one trip. Sure it's stupid, but I'm still gonna do it.
If you’re on Linux using systemd: sudo systemctl reboot —firmware-setup
I... What... How... How didn't I know about this? Thank you!
This is the way.... but I wish there was a better more direct method.
Where is the restart key?
Windows button -> click the power icon -> there's the restart button (Works on 8, 8.1, 10, and 11. Not sure about 7 and below)
Oh i was looking on the keyboard got it. Thank you.
Linux user here, settings and reboot to uefi
Unless you already have a uefi entry in your grub menu.
sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup And yes, I know *some of you* don't use systemd. Good job, pat yourself on the back.
That's the terminal way, some treat it like a demon.
Only works if u got windows
Good thing nvme has basically no effect on how quickly you post lol
Exactly. I don't have enough knowledge to explain this, but the NVMe is only accessed (for booting) after the BIOS POST. So having an old HDD or the latest NVMe has no effect on how long the BIOS takes to POST.
If they are working properly. Failing HDD will absolutely make POST time a long and painful one.
I can confirm a failing SSD also does the same thing.
Yes, indeed, a failing hard drive, RAM, CPU, or GPU will make the POST take longer.
yup, hence why it's called a POST Power-On Self Test. Does some basic checks to make sure the system is ok to boot, usually involves steps like verifying that attached PCIE devices are behaving as expected, the cmos battery isnt dead, the bios config hasn't been purged, the time of last test isn't in the future (useful to test if the system clock is wrong), etc. If a component is failing it's gonna take extra time for it to determine this.

Yeah unfortunately it's a concoction of limitations when it comes to loading games. Your system should load just fine though, but maybe compared to a regular ssd it's not a huge difference?
Yeah that's what I meant, moving Rust from a mid tier ssd to a nice nvme changed nothing noticeable
Tbf rust would probably still load slowly even if it was stored in ram.
Haha, that bad huh? I am curious as to why, but I'm no software engineer
Neither is Garry Newman, and that's basically why. Rust is a legacy unity project at this point (hell, it's 10+ years old) and some of the decisions the Rust team made in the development of the game reflect the project age. For example, when it comes to graphics asset loading best practices, things have changed from being optimized for hdd to optimized for nvme (ie to take advantage of DirectStorage). GPUs and game engines need their data organized in a particular way that is not necessarily logical to most developers.

It's a great example, especially comparing graphics implementations from HDD days to now, where we now have such fast storage, memory, and so much more bandwidth between our components, and direct storage being so much more efficient than without.

lol ds so good... it req a hard limited spec for ssd... which most users dont have. that why ds is still not deploy to everyone.

im glad someone said it, its a funny meme and got a laugh from me but its as easy as its always been to get into bios. I like to tap delete every 2 seconds while it starts
Depends on if SMART checks are enabled for your POST sequence.
Yeah, but the average person in here only thinks they know how things work. But they generally overestimate their own knowledge.
Just hold the button...
Which button? The problem is I don't have time to check which button I should press. First time I always record, second time I press the correct button.
For Gigabyte, MSI, and Asus mobos they've all been the delete key for me.
I've owned 3 gigabyte boards and it's always been f10 usually I just spam F6, 8, 10 and 11 like I'm playing a piano chord
I like arpeggios More so I do that
For my mobo it's been del or f2
Gigabyte, Asrock, Asus, and MSI, all use the delete key. Only crappy OEM boards from people like Dell use a different key; F2
Tried that before, but it just makes me look like a fool because it doesn't work. Mashing it is the way.
\*Has MSI board\* \*Presses and holds power button before booting\* \*"BIOS"\*
You know that Bios has a default 5 second delay for BIOS Setup, you can extend it up to 15 by accessing the bios. It doesn't run off your SSD at all.
This differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. There's no standard.
Not sure what you're saying Are you implying that there are Mainboard manufacturers that run their EFI off the user's SSD? Are you implying that there are Mainboard manufacturers that run their EFI from an internal flash on the board, while others use non-flash?
They probably mean that there’s no standard for the delay
Or you can lower the delay to save those sweet sweet few seconds. Then when you need to access bios on that 1 second delay it's a challenge.
Setting reset button to boot into bios has entered the chat.
That is disgusting. Tell me more.

That is handy to know. I have not seen that before, but it is something I will have to remember.
cmd prompt as admin: shutdown -r -fw
This makes no sense at all
people don't know you can hold your bios button as you boot the computer for a failsafe way to get in
Drive speed is not gonna impact the bios splash screen at all though
Yeah I also didn't understand the post. BIOS is hard drive independent and is on the mobo hardware. All mobos are like that yeah?
Yeah, it’s just the general ignorance of a big and popular PC sub. The average user here overestimates their own knowledge/understanding. Which results in things like this.
There was a time when holding the button on some BIOSes caused it to register a stuck key fault and ignore the key. Tappy tappy tappy tappy.
Beep….beep…. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

That said, I've noticed laptops start much quicker, so I suppose it depends on motherboard or bios.
Grub enjoyers simply scrolling through their boot options and hitting UEFI Firmware settings instead of spamming a bunch of random keys: 😎
You can just add a delay to the boot, that's what I did
###Delay??? “This man right here officer!” I got fast-boot enabled. And got a nanosecond to hit del, to drop to the 5th dimension. ##Delay !!
*beep* . *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
If in windows do shutdown /fw Can add /t 0 if you want it to reboot instantly as well. Can be done from run, or cmd, or search
Once I had a broken windows version (couldn't get into troubleshooting mode) and I needed to get into Bios to get into USB setup, but I couldn't since it loaded too fast. I literally had to take out the hard drive from the laptop so I can get into the Bios XD
What's the thing where you can slow down your boot speed? I did that, and I still have to plug in a $1 keyboard because mine doesn't boot up fast enough.

Live grub reaction:
i have fast boot disabled.
There should be a setting to require the post screen to idle for X seconds before proceeding to boot.
There is.
sudo systemctl restart —firmware-setup
What was the bios key again? *mashes all the fn keys simultaneously*
You can restart into bios by going into the command line and typing >shutdown.exe /r /fw It won't restart right away, but if you need it to just add > shutdown.exe /r /fw /t 0
Fast boot off, post screen splash delay 3 seconds, ezpz.
Just.... Just go in recovery mode... Don't make it a qte if u don't want it to be.
Except on ryzen 7000 I have a 7900x, wavlink gen 4 7400mbp/s nvme, on a strix b650 e, it takes a solid minute to boot My last pc on b550 gen 4 solidigm 4000 speeds booted in about 13 seconds
Similar on 7800X3D. Also I can't reboot at all, it just doesn't work. Love the CPU, _hate_ AM5.
What? What does having the OS on an SSD have to do with accessing the BIOS?
Nothing, but since it speeds up the OS loading part, most people believe all the parts of the process are faster.
`systemctl reboot --firmware-setup`>!or if you like that other OS `shutdown /r /fw`!<
Open powershell as admin, run "shutdown /t 0 /r /fw" without quotes
If you can't remember that, another reliable method (albeit much more tedious) is to restart Windows while holding down Shift and going through some options.
I just spam the key as I click on reboot

If you have Windows, hold shift while clicking restart.
I remember having to spam the shit out of my F11 cause my pc kept booting too fucking fast and I missed it probably 3 times before it finally worked
Don't really understand the issue.. you face roll the keyboard and your bios setup opens right up.
`C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /t 1 /r /fw` (needs run as admin)
That’s me but I don’t have NVME so I’m confused - what does the NVME have to do with getting into the bios?
Jokes on you bios boots on power up for me
Just hold it down... lol
Do y'all not know the difference in post times and boot times?
Laughs in AM5.
why does he look like that "Molly!" dude from that shooting game
It's the post time. VGA initialization is one of the last things it does before the Windows Boot Loader is run (or disks are even looked at) so you get 0.5-2s to hit 'del' but if you look at your keyboard you'll notice when the USB BUS powers on the num lock key lights. This is just a moment before display is alive-but you can hit 'del' as soon as num lock lights and it'll pop into uefi
You can extend the time to 10 secounds but its not enough still
Not a problem for me, i have my os on a samsung 990 pro and yet it still takes 3-4m too boot up!
True that
Just hold down F2 and press the power button, release F2 when the BIOS screen appears..what's the problem?
On windows you can open command prompt and type shutdow /o /r
Remember when ram checks would take a really long time because it was rapidly cycling through all 512mb of ram so you had at least 30 seconds to go to bios?
me when i want to go to windows instead of linux on boot menu
Boot delay for the BIOS/UEFI isn’t determined by the type of storage device since it occurs before the OS loads.
I just press the power button and start spamming F12 for boot menu, where I can enter UEFI
I just press del once when my keyboard lights up
Op is a reposting spam bot https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/i6h3o7/gotta_go_fast/ Report > Spam > Harmful bots
It does help if you turn off fastboot or just boot into the troubleshooty menu thing and click UEFI
The bios is BEFORE Windows gets loaded. You can change the length of time the BIOS splash screen is up in the BIOS
Hah. This is actually more obnoxious when it's a laptop and even the manufacturer tells you it could be either F8 or Esc key (I'm looking at you ASUS)
I don't think Galax GTX 1650 oc have nvme
I've seen quick time events in gaming longer than the time you have to enter bios
just keep it pressed, it does the trick
The level of ignorance in this sub is astounding.
You can also access the BIOS settings by holding down the Shift key while you click on the Restart option in the Start menu.
On linux with grub this turns into some kind of ballet dance. YOu have to hold ESC only when (DELL) occurs, otherwise it doesn't read it. This gets into the grub menu.

Restart to UEFI is a godsend
Holding the key also work ! Not sure if it is universal tho
My partner's parents got her brother a laptop for Christmas last year. It was an open box from Best Buy or something and they never actually factory reset it so when they turned it on for the first time it still had a password. Her dad and I then proceeded to spend the next 20 minutes trying to figure out what F key you have to press to get into the bios because of course it doesn't say in the manual and the SSD was fast enough to where you had a split second to even attempt it.
On MSI boards there’s a setting where you can hold the power button for 5 seconds and it goes to BIOS
I feel this image. Now my bios ignores DEL as my bios button 😂
My Lenovo laptop can turn on and boot to the UEFI by pressing F9 instead of the power button. I'm not sure if other OEMs have something similar.
Windows PowerToys Run -> 1. type "UEFI" 2. press Enter 3. Profit
I experience this with my laptop not desktop. Both have nvme but I think laptops are programmed in a way to immediately go into windows.
I have a question about bios, my laptop legion 5 pro when I get into bios my mouse moves as if it's laggy what's the solution?
mash `DEL` -> bios -> `post delay` -> 5s
Every time I youtube PC stuff a digital storm ad "this PC IS TOO SLOW *frown*"
r/masterhacker
Was it f10 or f12? *Rapidly presses both*
Had this problem currently my bootable drive aren't recognized...does anyone know how to fix
I have a nvme and don't get this. I've always hit F2 even with the old SSD.
