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?

    Enter BIOS/UEFI setup.

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

  • Please check the boot priority order, ensure first preference is given to hard disk on the system, having Windows installed.

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

    Save changes and exit BIOS.

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

      In the future please read the actual post. They can get into BIOS fine the issue is they are unable to get it to boot past it automatically
