Press <strong>Enter</strong>.</li>\n<li>If you are prompted that \u201cFast Startup\u201d settings are unavailable or greyed out, press <strong>Tab</strong> until you reach \u201c<strong>Change settings that are currently unavailable</strong>\u201d (often a link/button near the top). Press <strong>Enter</strong>. This gives you administrative rights for this window. (<a href=\"https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1045548/?utm_source=openai\">asus.com</a>)</li>\n<li>Press <strong>Tab</strong> until you reach the checkbox \u201c<strong>Turn on fast startup (recommended)</strong>.\u201d If it is checked, press <strong>Space</strong> to uncheck it. If unchecked, Fast Startup is already off. (<a href=\"https://www.asus.com/us/support/faq/1045548/?utm_source=openai\">asus.com</a>)</li>\n<li>Press <strong>Tab</strong> to move to the \u201c<strong>Save changes</strong>\u201d button and press <strong>Enter</strong>.  </li>\n<li>You can close Control Panel by pressing <strong>Alt + F4</strong>.</li>\n</ol>\n<hr />\n<h2>Other Ways (Optional, Useful with a Screen Reader)</h2>\n<p>If you prefer or need alternatives:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Command Prompt / PowerShell (Admin)</strong><br />\nPress <strong>Windows + R</strong>, type <code>cmd</code>, then press <strong>Ctrl + Shift + Enter</strong>.
