    How to re-enable "Press F1 or F2" on startup, was accidentally turned off by F3


    Hello, my Alienware 17 used to boot with a startup menu using command prompt interface that would ask me to press F1 to continue to Windows 10 or to press F2 to open up BIOS. Unfortunately, it also said that I could press F3 to stop showing the menu forever?. I accidentally pressed F3 today, as it was next to the other keys I was opening BIOS. My BIOS is from 2013.

    How to re-enable "Press F1 or F2" on startup, was accidentally turned off by F3

    Win 10 f1, f2, f3 screen and will not start win.

    Working fine in July 2018. Tried to boot to update all new software.
    I keep getting a black screen with "No bootable devices found"
    Press F1 to retry boot.
    press F2 for setup utility
    Press F3 to run onboard diagnosis

    I've tried all of them but nothing works
    I've tried booting from win 10 repair CD

    Machine is out of warranty. Dell wants $239.00 to fix it.

    Does anyone have a way to fix this vboot problem myself.
