PC always boots to BIOS instead of Windows Computer

I’ve had this issue for a while now, ever since my first boot. Whenever I turn on my computer I’m sent to the BIOS menu and have to boot override to windows boot manager to get to Windows. My boot option #1 is windows boot manager. Does anyone have any tips for how to fix this?

    Its job is to initialize your hardware and then launch a bootloader, like Windows Boot Manager, which in turn starts Windows.

    Enter BIOS/UEFI setup.

    Verify that Windows Boot Manager is set as the first boot option.

    Save changes and exit BIOS.

    Restart your computer and enter the BIOS settings (usually by pressing F2, F12, or Del during boot).
