Windows 10: Exit Aptio Setup Utility

I have a Gateway laptop recently bought used and after being on charger when you start it opens the Aptio setup utility. When trying to exit there is only 1 option that works. You have to select the Discard and Reset changes. Any other option takes it back to the main screen. Really wondering why, it opens this way to start in the first place. It seems only if it is left charging for a long time.It is the Gateway141-1BK. Just to add there were 2 zip compressed files in Downloads that were there when purchased the device. I thought I deleted them. But they were still there again. When I tried t

Stuck in the Aptio Setup Utility

I got the setup utility on startup and i tried following this instructions:

• Select the Boot menu in the Aptio setup utility, select 'Launch CSM' and change to enable.
• Select the Security menu n the Aptio setup utility, select 'secure Boot Control' and change to disable.
• Select Save & Exit and press 'yes'.
• Hold down the power button until the unit switches power off completely.
• Switch back on and continually press the F9 button for about ten seconds; this should now allow the unit to boot up into the Windows Recovery menu.
• Select 'Advanced Start Up' and wait until the recovery menu appears.
• Select ' Advanced Options'.
• Select 'System Restore' and select a date prior to when the problem occurred.

(but I wasn't able to do step #5-8)

 

I cannot exit "Aptio Setup Utility"

I am also facing the same issue.

After upgrading to Windows 10, initially the system was working fine.

However, after few days while booting its going into aptio setup utility loop.

when i keep pressing escape button then after many attempts my windows starts. but again when I restart or boot it again goes into the same loop.

This is very frustrating and whats more disappointing is that instead of giving any solution microsoft is suggesting "to check the manual of Aptio Setup Utility on how to exit from it." are you serious?

This is not what we expect from Microsoft, my Laptop has become a piece of ****.

When microsoft cant provide support, then why they offered the windows 10 upgrade.

someone, please help me with any solution.

 

2020 Aptio Setup

Hi,H4ck3r_L0rD

My name is Erik. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

I just look for the details regards about your concern kindly follow these steps

Kindly do this basic steps just restart your computer and see if Aptio Setup Utility stuck is disappeared. If your PC still boots up to the setup utility instead of booting in the operating system, try other solutions to check.

Kindly follow these steps

1. Restart your PC.

2. The Aptio Setup Utility main menu should appear.

3. Enter Settings and look for the ”Reset Configuration Data” or ”Factory reset” options.

4. Reset BIOS to factory data and save changes.

5. Exit Aptio and reboot your PC.

Second Option:

Step 1: Boot your Asus computer and wait for it to the Aptio Setup Utility window.

Step 2: Go to Security, expand the Secure Boot Control menu and ensure the secure boot option is disabled.

Step 3: Save and exit the tab, then restart your PC and wait for it to load Aptio Utility settings once again.

Step 4: Navigate to the Boot tab, disable these two options – Secure Boot and Fast Boot.

Step 5: Besides, enable CSM (Compatible Support Module).

Step 6: Save the change and restart the Asus computer. It should boot to the Windows operating system instead of Aptio Setup Utility.

If this issue did not help you to solve the problem please let me know so we can able to look for another workaround solutions or we can ask another expert about their suggestion
