I've got a new PC that's been running smoothly, but I can't access the BIOS no matter what I try. When I boot up, I don't see the prompt to press [F2] for BIOS access; it just goes straight to Windows. This happens even when I try rebooting to BIOS from the Windows UEFI settings or using the command "shutdown /r /fw**". It's always the same: I end up at the Windows login screen. I'm on Windows 10 and using an Asus Prime H610M-K motherboard. Any ideas on how to get into the BIOS? Also, I'm using a DisplayPort connection—could that be an issue?

You might want to try spamming the BIOS key right after you press the power button. PCs boot so quickly these days that the prompt can flash by really fast. It might help to check your motherboard manual for the right key, just in case it's different from the usual F2 or DEL. Good luck!
I checked the manual and tried hitting the key repeatedly, but it still doesn't work. I can't even reach the BIOS through the advanced startup options. Feels like something else is up!
