    Windows 10 21H1 booting into OS rather than UEFI/boot menu


    Hi,I own a 10-year-old PC running Windows 10 21H1 originally Windows 8. When I repeatedly press the keys to access either the UEFI or the boot menu, it boots straight into the operating system. I also tried booting into it in the automatic repair option, used the command 'shutdown.exe /r /f /fw /t 00' while an administrator and even used a special key to try to get into the UEFI/boot menu, and it still boots into the operating system. Does anybody have a solution for this?

    :)

    Can't disable UEFI boot on HP 250 G3

    I got it, I was not accustomed to UEFI (because on HP 4540s I disabled it) and I automatically thought that if I boot from the first menu it will boot in UEFI mode, but I have to go to second menu "Boot From EFI File" to get a list of EFI boot options:

    I installed Ubuntu Mate and Windows 8.1 from the first menu (the picture) and they both installed in BIOS mode. Quite simple really.

    Can't disable UEFI boot on HP 250 G3

    I am really interested in this. I could not install Linux and I don't know why. Was it so simple to install it? The linux I want to install is elementary OS, but I can install other one. How can I do it? Thanks!

    PC boots to UEFI menu

    My Windows 10 PC is behaving strangely in that often when I turn it on, it turns itself off after a few seconds then turns on again but it will boot to the UEFI menu. From there I have the option to enter boot setup and it shows the boot order to be correct
    (i.e. first order in the boot queue is to my SSD with the OS on it) and I am able to choose to boot to the SSD, after which it will boot as normal and work fine. Sometimes, especially when I've only just turned the PC off, if I turn it back on it will boot
    fine. Given that it's not preventing me from using the PC it's not the biggest issue, but I was just wondering if anyone knew why this was happening or how to fix it. Someone suggested it might be a dead CMOS battery but I changed that out and it's still doing
    it.
