Motherboard BIOS (Asus X99 DeLuxe/U3.1)
select Boot section in BIOS
select CSM
select Enabled
select UEFI and legacy OpROM

'Enabled' and 'UEFI and legacy OpROM' were already selected in my case)
(tried UEFI only, but that disables the keyboard)

Small note:
In my case the steps outlined in "How to Boot to UEFI Firmware Settings from inside Windows 10" didn't work.
Start->Settings->Update & Security->Recovery->Restart Now (Advanced Startup)->Troubleshoot->Advanced Options...

from this point on Windows restarted ("Please Wait" and "Turning off your computer"), instead of 'Startup settings",
instead of getting "UEFI Firmware Settings".

Anyway, matter solved.

For clarity, you can only change UEFI settings if already booted to UEFI. If booted as legacy bios, that option does not exist.
