    hello friend I have found the solution to this particular problem you just need a led tv with an HDMI. Don't use a monitor and you might be able to see the motherboard manufacturers startup logo I was frustrated with this problem for 4 days and I searched everywhere and this was the solution.After that just turn off secure boot and csm support. Hope this helps someone in need

    If you're having trouble accessing the BIOS on your MSI Z690 motherboard with Windows 11, here are a few steps you can try to get into the BIOS setup:

     

    1. Use the Advanced Startup Option:
    2. Open the Settings app in Windows 11.
    3. Go to System > Recovery.
    4. Under the Advanced startup section, click Restart now.

    Once your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings, and then click Restart. This should take you directly into the BIOS.

  • Click restart while holding the shift key down untul you see a menu, Select troubleshoot and advanced optionsSelect UEFI firmware setting in the next menu and then restart. When it restarts it will take you to the bios.

      I have several PC's with windows 11 installed on them . This particular PC was able to get into BIOS in the past . I know about holding down shift and selecting restart .

      IT DOES NOT WORK !!!!

      This is the most unbelievable problem I have seen with this miserable software yet !

      How and the hell are we supposed to operate with garbage like this ? I can't even get into my cooling fan profile . How am I supposed to get in when this software blocks access to the most basic part of the PC ?

      I mean how am I supposed to get rid of this software if I want to ? I CANT INTO BIOS I CANT CHANGE BOOT ORDER ? To get rid of this software I have to take apart the PC and remove the SSD ?

       

      What will be the goal of windows 12 ? ..........SPARKS AND EXPLOSIONS ?

       

      Thats one way to sell computer merchandise although I doubt the fire marshal would like it ?

        I have fixed this issue by using the onboard graphics hdmi port, since AsRocks onboard graphic is apparently only way to catch the BIOS boot up 🙄
