How do I enter advanced BIOS settings? HP Laptop 15s-fq2119ur.

@Divola1,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

Unfortunately, HP BIOS interfaces are typically simplified and do not expose "advanced BIOS settings" (such as overclocking, memory timings, voltage control, etc.) -especially on consumer models like the HP Laptop 15s-fq2119ur.

 

How to Enter Standard BIOS:

 

  1. Shut down your laptop completely.

  2. Press the power button, then immediately tap the Esc key repeatedly (once per second) until the Startup Menu appears.

  3. Press F10 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

 

This will give access to standard BIOS settings such as boot order, virtualization, secure boot, and system configuration.


"Advanced BIOS" Mode?

 

Some users mention pressing F10 + A (or Ctrl + F10) within the BIOS to unlock hidden options. However:

 

  • HP does not officially support this.

  • It may not work on newer BIOS versions.

  • There is a risk of voiding your warranty or bricking the system if you attempt modding or flashing a custom BIOS.


Alternative: What Are You Trying to Do?

 

If you can clarify why you need access to advanced settings (e.g., enabling XMP, adjusting fan curves, undervolting, enabling VT-d, etc.), there may be safe alternatives or utility-based solutions available from within Windows or with HP's official tools.

 

Let me know what your use case is, and I’ll be glad to suggest specific steps or workarounds if available.

 

Kind Regards,
