This readme provides a quick tutorial on using the following script:\n\n```bash\nshutdown /r /fw /t 1\n```\n\n## How It Works\n\n- **shutdown:** Initiates a system shutdown or restart.\n- **/r:** Specifies that the computer should restart after shutdown.\n- **/fw:** Initiates the restart in the firmware user interface (UEFI/BIOS) to access the boot menu.\n- **/t 1:** Sets the time delay before restarting to 1 second.\n\n## Instructions\n\n1. Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad) and paste the script:\n\n    ```bash\n    shutdown /r /fw /t 1\n    ```\n\n2. Save the file with a \".bat\" extension, e.g., `boot_menu.bat`.\n\n3. Double-click the saved file to execute the script.\n\n4. Your computer will restart, and it should automatically open the boot menu during the restart.\n\n**Note:** Ensure that your computer supports UEFI/BIOS access via the `/fw` option.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- If the script doesn't work, check your system documentation to confirm UEFI/BIOS access via command-line options.\n- Make sure that your system supports automatic boot into the firmware interface.\n- If issues persist, consider connecting a keyboard temporarily to troubleshoot the underlying problem.\n\nNow you can conveniently access the boot menu without the need for a connected keyboard after restarting your PC.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbadend777%2Fboot-menu-access-without-keyboards","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbadend777%2Fboot-menu-access-without-keyboards","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbadend777%2Fboot-menu-access-without-keyboards/lists"}
