Прошивка BIOS или UEFI, как её теперь называют, позволяет пользователям менять системные настройки, запускать загрузку с нужных дисков, выставлять время и так далее. Существуют разные способы получить доступ к этому режиму, так что можно использовать самый удобный и привычный. В этом гайде мы поговорим о том, как войти в UEFI в системах Windows 11.

С помощью «горячих клавиш»

Это необходимо сделать при старте компьютера. При нажатии специальной кнопки можно зайти в UEFI. При этом для ноутбуков и ПК разных производителей эти кнопки могут отличаться.

Примерный список выглядит так:

  • Dell: F2 или F12;
  • HP: ESC или F10;
  • Acer: F2 или Del;
  • MSI: Del;
  • Lenovo: F1 или F2;
  • ASUS: F2 или Del;
  • Samsung: F2;
  • Toshiba: F2;
  • Microsoft Surface: нажмите и удерживайте кнопку увеличения громкости.

С помощью приложения «Настройки»

  • Откройте «Параметры Windows» с помощью сочетания клавиш Win + I.
  • В параметрах системы найдите пункт «Восстановление» и нажмите на него.
  • Нажмите кнопку «Перезагрузить сейчас» и подтвердите перезагрузку.
  • На появившемся синем экране (нет, это не BSoD) выберите вариант «Устранение неполадок».
  • Затем пункт «Дополнительные параметры». Затем «Настройки прошивки UEFI»
  • После этого система перезагрузится и пропустит вас в UEFI.
  • С помощью терминала Windows

    • Открываем меню WinX с помощью комбинации кнопок Win + X.
    • Там выбираем Windows Terminal.
    • После его запуска в чёрном окне вводим такую команду — shutdown / r / o / f / t 00.
    • Нажимаем Enter.
    • Появится синий экран, где надо выбрать «Устранение неполадок», затем «Дополнительные параметры» и «Настройки прошивки UEFI».

    Надеемся, что этот гайд вам поможет.

    Как зайти в БИОС в Windows 11Иногда пользователю необходимо зайти в БИОС (UEFI) для настроек тех или иных параметров, например, чтобы поставить загрузку с флешки в БИОС. На современных системах при включении сделать это не всегда получается — компьютер или ноутбук включается слишком быстро.

    В этой пошаговой инструкции подробно о способах зайти в БИОC/UEFI на компьютере или ноутбуке, один из которых обязательно должен сработать на вашей системе.

    Вход в БИОС с помощью клавиши при включении

    Стандартный способ зайти в БИОС — нажать предназначенную для этого клавишу при включении компьютера или ноутбука. Лучше нажимать после включения многократно, так как иначе можно пропустить «нужный момент». Сама клавиша обычно указана на экране при загрузке в сообщении: «Press КЛАВИША to enter Setup».

    Вход в БИОС или UEFI с клавиатуры

    Для большинства ПК и ноутбуков это следующие клавиши:

    • Для ПК — обычно Del (Delete). Но возможны варианты, например F10 или F
    • Для ноутбуков — обычно F2 (иногда нужно нажимать, удерживая клавишу Fn). Эта клавиша используется на ноутбуках ASUS, Acer, Gigabyte, Lenovo (кроме некоторых ThinkPad, где используется F1, Fn+F1 либо нажатие Enter и F1), Dell (также может быть F12), и многих других. На MSI это может быть клавиша F2 или Del. На HP вариантов больше: чаще всего Esc и F10, но возможны F2, F12, F1 или DEL в зависимости от модели ноутбука.
    • На моноблоках и брендовых ПК может использоваться как Del, так и клавиша, аналогичная клавише входа в БИОС на ноутбуке этой же марки.

    На некоторых системах с Windows 11 из-за включенной функции «Быстрый запуск» при включении не удается использовать клавишу для входа в БИОС/UEFI. В такой ситуации попробуйте использовать клавишу не после завершения работы и включения, а после перезагрузки системы через меню Пуск (при перезагрузке быстрый запуск не используется).

    Учитывайте, что при включении ПК некоторые беспроводные клавиатуры могут не работать: реже это касается клавиатур, подключаемых по радиоканалу, почти всегда — Bluetooth клавиатур.

    Как зайти в БИОС/UEFI Windows 11 через расширенные параметры запуска

    В случае, если вход в БИОС с использованием клавиши выполнить не удается, можно попробовать использовать «Расширенные параметры запуска». Шаги будут следующими:

    1. В Windows 11 зайдите в Параметры — Система — Восстановление. Нажмите кнопку «Перезагрузить сейчас» в пункте «Расширенные параметры запуска». Вместо этого также можно открыть меню Пуск, нажать кнопку выключения, а затем, удерживая клавишу Shift нажать «Перезагрузка». Расширенные параметры запуска Windows 11
    2. После перезагрузки вы попадете в среду восстановления Windows 11. Выберите пункт «Поиск и устранение неисправностей», перейдите в «Дополнительные параметры» и нажмите «Параметры встроенного ПО UEFI». Открыть параметры UEFI в среде восстановления Windows 11
    3. Подтвердите перезагрузку. После неё вы должны будете автоматически попасть в параметры UEFI вашего ПК или ноутбука, при условии, что система установлена в режиме UEFI.

    Как правило, один из этих способов срабатывает, при условии, что клавиатура исправна и обнаруживается компьютером. Если же войти в БИОС не получается, подробно опишите ситуацию в комментариях: модель устройства (материнской платы или ноутбука), детали проблемы — решение должно найтись.

    Everyone calls it the Boot Menu, but it isn’t actually named that.

    • What Does the Advanced Options Menu Do?
    • How to Access the Advanced Options Menu

    The Advanced Options Menu, sometimes called the Boot Menu, contains tools and configuration options you can use to troubleshoot or repair your PC. Here’s how to use it on Windows 11.

    The Advanced Startup Options Menu offers you a handful of utilities. Some of them are as simple as left-clicking the option and you’re done, while others require extensive user interaction. Here is a brief rundown on what the utilities are and what they do.

    • Startup Repair: Startup Repair will attempt to automatically fix issues that prevent Windows 11 from booting correctly.
    • Startup Settings: Startup Settings allows you to change how Windows 11 Boots. You can do things like enable Safe Mode, debugging, or boot logging, to name a few.
    • Command Prompt: The Command Prompt option brings up a Command Prompt window that can be used to run diagnostic or repair commands.
    • Uninstall Updates: The Uninstall Updates option will roll back the latest updates installed, including major Windows versions or updates.
    • UEFI Firmware Settings: This option restarts your computer and opens the BIOS/UEFI.
    • System Restore: System Restore allows you to use a previously created restore point to roll back Windows to a point where it was working correctly.
    • System Image Recovery: System Image Recovery is similar to System Restore, but uses a complete system image instead of a restore point. System images are much larger and more complete than restore points and include all of your files, programs, and settings.

    Windows 11, unlike Windows 10, does not support systems that are running a BIOS — they must be using UEFI. The UEFI requirement means that the advanced startup menu is always accessible from within Windows.

    Within the Settings App

    Open the Start Menu, type «Settings» into the search bar, and then click «Open» or hit Enter.

    Type

    Ensure that you are on the System window. If you aren’t, click «System» in the top left-hand corner of the Settings window. Then scroll down and click «Recovery.»

    Scroll down and click

    There will be a section titled «Recovery Options.» Look for a section titled «Advanced Startup,» make sure to save anything you’re working on, and then click «Restart Now.» You may get a prompt warning you about unsaved work— if you have already saved everything, don’t worry about it.

    Click

    Your computer will restart after a few seconds.

    By Clicking Restart

    If you don’t want to go into the Settings app and navigate through some sub-menus, there is a more efficient way: Shift-clicking the Restart option. Click the Start button or hit the Windows key, click the power icon, then hold Shift and click «Restart.»

    Click the Start button, then the power button, and then Shift-click

    The most obvious place to use this trick is with the Restart option in the Start menu, but it isn’t the only place. Just about anywhere that you see a «Restart» button will work, including the lock or login screen.

    After Restarting Your Computer

    Your computer will display a blue screen with a few options on it after you click «Restart Now» in the recovery menu, or Shift-click «Restart.» Choose «Troubleshoot» from the listed options.

    It is possible there will be more options available to you than are displayed here. For example, the «Choose an option» screen might also feature a «Use a Device» option.

    Click on

    Click «Advanced Options» on the next screen, and you’ll be taken to the Advanced Options menu.

    Click on

    That’s it — you’re at the Advanced Options window.

    The Advanced Options menu has a number of different utilities available. Some of them are fully automated, like Startup Repair, whereas others require extensive user interaction, like the Command Prompt. Which you use depends a lot on what is wrong with your PC.
