I cannot enter BIOS pressing F10 when the laptop is starting. After a lot of googling I came across HP BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU) and instructions to disable "Fast Boot" as a solution to this issue.
But I'm not getting this setting changed. After executing cmd as Administrator and running
BiosconfigUtility64.exe /setvalue: "Fast Boot", "Disable"
I get this message:
<BIOSCONFIG Version="" Computername="DESKTOP-CLMODEE" Date="2017/10/19" Time="17:31:28" UTC="2">
<SETTING changeStatus="warning" name="" returnCode="20">
<OLDVALUE><![CDATA[]]></OLDVALUE>
<VALUE><![CDATA[]]></VALUE>
</SETTING>
<ERROR msg="An operation failed" />
<ERROR msg="BCU return value" real="20" translated="20" />
and the Fast Boot continues "Enabled", as shown with:
BiosconfigUtility64.exe /getvalue:"Fast Boot"
which returns:
BIOSConfig 1.0

Any help will be most appreaciated!
