Nope, hitting a key during boot does not do it. You have to hold a key while hitting reboot in Windows to get a menu that can trigger the UEFI settings. More and more i feel we are going through a generational change in the PC business, and i do not like what i am seeing.

You can disable fast boot permanently (and something like it existed on some pre-UEFI BIOS firmwares too, so it's nothing new).

Hitting a key during boot works for me. Check your mobo's manual

I did, they mentioned a key, it didn't work.
