Spamming F2 doesn't get me into the BIOS on Windows 11

Mashing F2 and Delete as soon as I hit power, and Windows 11 still just loads. Desktop PC with an MSI board. Is there another way in from the recovery menu?

Fast boot skips past the window where it listens for the key, so you'll never hit it. Go in from Windows instead: Settings > System > Recovery > Advanced startup > Restart now, then Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings > Restart. Lands you straight in the BIOS. Quicker version is holding Shift while you click Restart.
