Switching to BIOS mode from a desktop shortcut involves a few steps. Here's a detailed explanation:
Create a Shortcut:
Right-click on your desktop.
From the context menu, choose "New" and then "Shortcut".
Enter Command:
In the "Type the location of the item" field, enter the following command:
This command is used to restart the computer (/r) and enter firmware setup (/fw) with a delay of 1 second (/t 1) to allow the command to execute properly.
Name the Shortcut:
Click on the "Next" button.
Provide a name for the shortcut, such as "Enter BIOS".
Click on the "Finish" button.
Customize Icon (Optional):
Right-click on the shortcut you just created and select "Properties".
In the Properties window, go to the "Shortcut" tab.
Click on the "Change Icon" button.
Browse for an icon you'd like to use or select from the available icons.
Once you've selected an icon, click "OK" to apply the changes.
Move Shortcut to a Convenient Location (Optional):
You can move the shortcut to a convenient location on your desktop for easy access, or you can place it in a folder where you store frequently used shortcuts.
Use the Shortcut:
Now, whenever you want to enter BIOS mode, simply double-click on the shortcut you created. This will execute the command, causing your computer to restart and enter BIOS mode.
Remember, entering BIOS mode can vary slightly depending on your computer's manufacturer and model. Some computers may require you to press a specific key (such as F2, F10, or Del) during startup to access BIOS settings, while others may use different methods. However, the shortcut described above should work for most modern PCs.
