Hello,
This is a strange problem but maybe you have some idea what is going on.
When i boot to win 11 it goes into the bios screen first. The only way to get to the desktop is to "load defaults" then "save settings and exit", then it goes to the desktop.
However, if i unplug the power brick (wall wart) and let the energy bleed out (LED light goes out) then it boots normally to win 11 desktop. If i dont do that it always boots to bios only.
This computer came with Win 11 preinstalled and runs with a power brick which plugs into the computer. It has a power button that you can press to boot up, and if you dont unplug the power brick and let it drain first, it boots to bios, but if you do let it drain first, then it boots to the win 11 desktop.
Also, if i disable the internal SSD drive that has win 11 installed on it and just enable an external USB drive, it still boots into Windows 11.
What i suspect here is that Windows 11 is different than previous OS's in that it partly controls the bios, which is very unlike other op sys's. That could mean that it does not 'listen' to some bios settings. I cant be sure about this i was hoping someone else has more info i cant seem to find anything useful on the web.
Any ideas or suggestions?
If i cant fix this i have to return the computer and i hate to do that because it's a nice computer and fits my needs very well.
Thanks very much for any ideas or anything else that might help.
Sincerely,
MrAl
