  1. Can't enter BIOS after drive compression


    So I decided to compress everything on my main drive which was a horrible idea.

    Can't enter BIOS after drive compression wdEDx.png

    Now I can't enter my BIOS anymore. I tried:

    • Pressing keys on startup
    • Running shutdown /s /fw in cmd but I get this error Boot to firmware UI is not supported by this system's firmware.(1)
    • Unchecking the "Compress this drive to save space" checkbox (which took like 24 hours and most of my files still have that blue compressed icon on them, so maybe the decompression failed?)

    Any idea what is wrong and how I can fix this so that I can enter my BIOS on startup? I could startup to my BIOS by pressing keys just fine, but after the compression I can't enter my BIOS anymore. The compression is definitely the problem (I think)

    :)

  2. Files in C: drive automatically compressing?

    As you may already know, if this feature is on, every new folder/file you add starts off automatically compressed. If you would like to turn it off for the whole drive, kindly follow these steps:

    • Start File Explorer . In the left pane, right-click on the drive that you would not want to be compressed.
    • Click Properties.
    • Make sure that the Compress this drive to save disk space box is unchecked.
    • Click OK then Apply.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
