I'm having trouble getting my PC into the BIOS because it starts up too fast for me to hit the DEL key. My keyboard doesn't seem to register or light up in time. I've also tried using the shift-click restart to access the troubleshoot options, but my system doesn't recognize the keyboard or mouse there either. I really need to enable secure boot, but nothing I've tried is working. Any ideas?

You can also try booting directly into BIOS from Windows. Use Command Prompt with the command `shutdown /r /fw /t 0`, or go to Settings > Update & Security, find the Recovery section, and select the advanced startup option. From there, you should see a path to reach UEFI system settings. There are plenty of tutorials online if you need more help!
In Windows, holding the Shift key while clicking Restart can take you directly to BIOS on the next restart. It's a handy shortcut!
One quick fix is to disconnect your hard drive. Once you do that, your PC should boot directly into the BIOS without any extra steps.
I tried the command, but it says 'required privilege not held by the client.' What does that mean?
