I dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu in my Acer Aspire R13. After I upgraded Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, my boot settings got messed up. To investigate the issue, I need to access UEFI firmware settings in Windows 10.
Unlike BIOS where you could just enter using F10 or F12 key at the bootup, accessing UEFI settings is not that straight forward. Now, you might wonder how to boot into UEFI settings in Windows 10 and I am going to show you how to do that in this tutorial.
Access UEFI firmware settings in Windows 10
Follow the steps below for accessing UEFI settings in Windows 10:
Step 1
Login to Windows and click on Menu.
Step 2
In the Menu, go to Settings.
Step 3
In Settings, scroll down a little and look for Update & security.
Step 4
In Update & Security, in the left sidebar, select Recovery and then in the right pane, click on Restart now. Don’t worry, it won’t restart right away.
Step 5
From here onwards, the steps are exactly the same what we saw in the tutorial to disable secure boot in Windows. When you click on Restart Now, after few seconds you’ll see a blue screen like the one below. Choose Troubleshoot option here.
In Troubleshoot, select Advanced options.
Select UEFI Firmware Settings here.
Click on Restart button and this will actually restart your system and boot you straight in UEFI settings.
That’s it. This is what you needed to do to access UEFI firmware settings in Windows 10. Hope this tutorial helped you. Any questions or suggestions are always welcomed.
So, apparently if there is anything happening with you computer other than what is shown here, they have absolutely no response or fix for it. Absolutely wonderful. I think I’ll be purchasing a different O.S…obviously Microsoft doesn’t care about it’s customers to allow something like this to persist.
Instead of the uefi option all I see is startup settings and below that “go back to the previous build.” Is there another way to access the uefi settings besides this?
I’m having the same problem, did you get to the bottom of this?
This is so weird. Once i installed Windowds 10 on my pc i can nolonger access bios or UEFI as they like to call it now. This is a HUGE problem because i really need to access my bios do to some overlocking tweaks and some other small things i usly fix through my bios. Have you guys figured out how to access the bios (UEFI) yet? I can not access it nomatter what i do. It’s like windows 10 locked me out of the bios, strongly concidering moving back to windows7 now.
Did anyone get a response on this problem? It’s now June, and I’m having the same problem. I need to change the bios the allow hyper-v and can’t get into it any way.
To access BIOS during boot up, I just used the old hard reset tactic, remove all power sources completely for 20seconds (battery and charger cable in my case) then spam press f2 straight after powering on and BIOS should come up.

[…] Frustrating, isn’t it? It seemed like as if there is no way to access Ubuntu at all. No! the Ubuntu install on the other partition was fine. It was just the UEFI settings that were different in the boot manager. I verified everything by accessing UEFI firmware settings in Windows 10. […]
