Windows 10: Win 11 update failed - PC only booting to BIOS

HiMy pc was in the process of doing a Windows update and was stuck for a while at 96% when a blue screen of death occurred. The message said the system would restart which it also did but it goes directly into the UEFI BIOS Utility.What to do?Based on some searches it seems my hard disk might be dead - how do I check that?

access BIOS settings in Win 10

I have an 8-year old computer running Win 10. I need to access the BIOS settings. It used to be the holding down the F2 key during startup would bring up the BIOS screen in Windows computers. But this no longer works. A web article listed a complicated
series of steps leading to a reboot . . . but still no access to BIOS. Any suggestions?

 

Secure Boot Enabled in BIOS, but not seen by Windows 11

1) the dual boot comes later. windows is able to set it while you install the second Os: but i can't install w11 on the new disk. because it fails: secure boot is not active, even if i turned it on, UEFI ONLY, in the bios of the asus x570 crosshair viii

2) what you suggest is not possible, because installation of w11 is aborted for reason at point 1. unless you say i could make it installing win 10? then aborting installation (at least it change from MBR to CPT?)

btw what you suggest i already tried from command prompt, launched as Administrator from win 10, but it gives the error: specified disk is not convertible....

first problem here is : why win 11 sees no secure boot active while it's turned on in the bios? and UEFI only? why?

 

Desktop PC boots to black screen after ASUS BIOS update

After searching around Google, I came upon a post where somebody experienced a similar issue and managed to fix it by simply doing the following:

1. Force the PC to shut down
   
2. Unplug the power cord from the PSU for 20-30 seconds; enough so that there's no dormant power left over
   
3. For good measure, if your motherboard/CPU has embedded graphics, temporarily connect your monitor to that instead of your GPU
   
4. Plug the power cord back in and then boot the system
   

Some notes:

• This is strictly for desktop PCs (not laptops). If you're on a laptop,
  you might need to disconnect both the power adapter and the battery
  to completely shut it down
  
• If your system was not bricked because of the BIOS update, you should see a
  message on the screen stating that the BIOS update is resuming, and
  that you should not cut the power to the PC
  
• If the BIOS update was successful, your PC will restart again to a
  vanilla POST screen (not the splash screen) and you will need to
  press F1 here and to set everything in the BIOS back to your own
  
  preferences again
  
• From what I can tell, the BIOS update did succeed after the
  
  flash in the BIOS, but the installation simply glitched out and
  failed to complete the remaining steps after restarting
  

Some things I should've done before I updated my BIOS:

• Saved a copy of my BIOS configurations to a .CMO file in a USB drive
  
• Reset my BIOS settings to default before the update
