Know your boot keys for pc

[Karthikgone]

Really helpful if can know our system boot key and bios key and windows advanced recovery key and some laptops provide list of options by pressing esc key like that. Its easy to provide button to directly restart and boot to bios or boot menu

We can enter the BIOS when restarting Windows; there are ways to do this.

For example:

shutdown /r /fw /t 0

An editable feature to enable entering the BIOS. It's difficult to say anything definitive about other features at this time.

Thank you for reply Most of people don't know about cmd commands for bios tricks.and sometimes forgot about it even if know. So this buttons to enter directly for bios or boot menu or windows recovery environment is really helpful to everyone and also most people relay on our tool also GONE KARTHIK 7386386393 ***@***.***

As far as I can tell:

The shutdown /r /o /f /t 0 command takes you directly to the recovery screen. That is, to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options.

I can add the shutdown /r /fw /t 0 command to the Motherboard tab,
and the shutdown /r /o /f /t 0 command to the Operating System tab.

Both will be added as buttons. I plan to add them if I can find a suitable section.

@Karthikgone The feature you mentioned has been developed and is now in the testing phase.

Since it's a beta version, there may or may not be a problematic section. I expect it to work flawlessly.

I added a controller to the BIOS entry key. According to Windows documentation, the /fw parameter does not work on non-UEFI systems. Therefore, Glow detects whether Windows is loaded as UEFI and changes the button's response accordingly.

You can download and test the beta version here:
