UEFI Options Missing // Boot Priority


Recommended Posts

Windows 10 Thread #2940294 :pinch:

I've upgraded my Windows 7 install to Windows 10 and would like to run a clean install and switch my ssd to a gpt. 

I can't get my PC to priorities my usb flash drive though. 

Windows 10 takes over your bios/boot settings with secureboot stuff so you have to access it through windows or the shift+restart at login. but my UEFI option is not there... every screenshot shows it there and its not there on mine.

Ok, I've figured everything out and have a clean install of Windows 10. 

I had to plug the flash drive into a usb 2.0 port in the back of my pc and clear the cmos. 

after the cmos cleared it made be go into the bios and I was able to set the usb flash drive as first boot. make sure it shows up as "uefi flash drive" (or something like that) 

after deleting all the partitions on 'drive 0' I selected 'new volume' chose the fourth partition (the primary partition) and windows did the rest.

After reinstalling windows both the "use a device" and the  "uefi firmware settings" options show up in the advanced settings menu. 

After the reinstall you can access your bios settings but holding down shift while restarting your computer from the login screen. 

Hopefully this helps someone as im sure there are thousands of people googling windows 10 issues and I know neowin is usually a top result for this stuff.

    • Senua's Saga: Hellblade II to get 60FPS mode, dev commentary, and more alongside PS5 launch by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in May, Microsoft revealed Senua's Saga: Hellblade II as the next first-party Xbox game to reach PlayStation platforms. Now, that release has an official release date attached to it, and alongside it, developer Ninja Theory is releasing an update across all platforms with some major features, including a 60 FPS mode on consoles. The Performance Mode is easily the biggest addition to the story-focused immersive experience. Ninja Theory is delivering it to both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 players, but there is some bad news for Series S owners, as it is being left out from the upgrade. "The result is smoother gameplay, especially noticeable during combat and fast-moving moments of the game," says the developer. It's unclear how much of the game's visuals Performance Mode users will be missing out on compared to the default 30FPS "cinematic" mode. PC players are getting an upgrade too. A Very High preset is being added to the settings menu for those wanting even higher fidelity graphics. Optimizations have also been a focus on PC, and Ninja Theory says that the title will be Steam Deck Verified when the Enhanced update lands in August. Next, similar to the original, Dark Rot is incoming as an optional experience that players can enable when starting a campaign. This will have a rot effect being applied to Senua every time she dies, and if it ever reaches her head, the game will come to an end, with all progress from that save being wiped. The Photo Mode in Hellblade II is being upgraded with this update too, with the studio touting a new Motion tab for cinematic video capture, as well as improvements across the board to the feature. Lastly, four hours of developer commentary is being added to give a behind-the-scenes look at how the studio crafted the story and gameplay. "Hear from the ensemble cast, key collaborators in depicting Senua’s experience of psychosis, and members of the development team who poured their heart and soul into Senua’s story," says the studio. The Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II Enhanced comes out on August 12 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 for all owners and Game Pass subscribers as a free upgrade. As for the PlayStation 5 launch of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II that's happening on the same day, Microsoft will be offering two versions: Standard and Deluxe. As expected, Standard includes the complete base game for $49.99, but Deluxe goes further by adding on a copy of the first game, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, as well as its original soundtrack. The Deluxe Edition costs $69.99 to purchase.
    • Not sure what you’re talking about. Has been there for quite a while and in the latest versions it’s actually quite good. I use it several times a day as I am a terrible typist.
    • They should've called it Neolin, what a missed opportunity, IMHO!
