PowerShell Script to Restart Computer into Bios Screen

Here’s a PowerShell script to restart a Windows computer and boot directly into the BIOS or UEFI settings. This script leverages the Restart-Computer cmdlet with the appropriate parameter to reboot into the firmware:

# Restart computer to BIOS/UEFI firmware settings
Write-Output "Restarting computer to BIOS/UEFI..."

# Use the Restart-Computer cmdlet with the -Firmware parameter
Restart-Computer -Firmware -Force

Explanation:

• Restart-Computer: This cmdlet restarts the computer.
• -Firmware: This option attempts to reboot into the firmware (BIOS/UEFI) settings.
• -Force: Forces the restart, bypassing any prompts.

Important Notes:

• This command requires the system’s firmware to support booting into BIOS from within Windows.
• You may need to run the PowerShell script with administrator privileges.
• This feature may not be supported on older hardware or some specific system configurations.

To run this script:

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator.
2. Paste the code and run it directly, or save it as a .ps1 file and execute the script by calling it in PowerShell.

This should reboot your system and take you directly to the BIOS or UEFI setup screen, if supported.
