Reboot a Windows Machine Straight into it's BIOS Menu

Running the following Command Prompt line will force a Windows computer to immediately restart and then go straight into the BIOS menu - bypassing the need to press DEL/ESC/F12 (or whatever the usual key is to do it on that machine) whilst it is booting:

shutdown /r /fw /t 0
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
