Windows 10: Windows 10 taking over BIOS

Hi,

I have recently rebuilt my computer and done a clean install of Windows 10 build 1809.

Since I have loaded Windows I am unable to get into bios either with del f2 or the restart uefi system.

As I started loading Windows the last time and was fiddling in bios I noticed that windows had inserted itself in the boot sequence as the primary boot option.

I am fairly certain that I would be able to change this by clearing cmos or removing the cmos battery.

As a last resort I have a spare bios chip for my pc and could easily put that in.

The question are ,why has windows done this , Does it make the computer run better or is it simply an ego trip by the programmers.

I intend to overclock the cpu so eventually I will be getting into bios but am I better off to leave things as they are until I do want to overclock.

What possible advantage to me is there in having windows 10 messing with the bios?

Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Owen

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
