Did you mean: 

Always booting to bios ... need to exit & save from bios to get windows.

is the boot drive a fresh install or a ported install? Do you have is set to boot UEFI and have "Windows Boot Manager" set to the first drive in the boot list?

Morning guys,

To yesterdays questions:

1 - Jpmboy: I'm not sure what you mean by having it set to boot to UEFI. I'm pretty sure my system uses UEFI and not an actual bios, so i'm using the term bios generically. When I restart, it takes me to the UEFI screen with all the associated asus options. From this screen, I then need to exit and save with no changes to move on to Windows. Can you clarify what you were asking me here?

2 - jpmboy: I hopped into windows boot manager ( and entered start-up options ), but I could not see anyplace to identify which drive it would go to first in the boot list ( that said, when in the UEFI/Bios, I have the correct windows drive set as my boot priority #1 ).

3 - Nemesis: I have not tried this yet. Is this easy and a pretty safe option to try? I"ve tried restoring all defaults via the option in the Asus UEFI/Bios, but nothing with the physical CMOS.
