You know that split-second window where you need to mash F2, DEL, or F12 to enter BIOS? Yeah, modern SSDs with NVMe and fast boot enabled have turned that into a reaction time test that would make esports players sweat. Your machine goes from power button to login screen faster than you can process what's happening, and you're just sitting there like "wait, did it even POST?"
The irony is delicious: we spent decades optimizing boot times, and now when you actually need to access BIOS settings to fix that boot order or enable virtualization, you're forced to either spam the key like you're playing a fighting game combo, or do the walk of shame by holding down the power button to force a shutdown and try again. Some manufacturers even added "boot to BIOS" options in Windows because they knew their hardware became too fast for human reflexes.
Pro tip: Shift + Restart in Windows actually gets you there through the recovery menu. You're welcome.
