Surface Laptop 3 UEFI Boot
A quick tip for Surface Laptop 3 owners.
This past week, after a Windows update, my Surface Laptop 3 stopped being able to start Windows entirely. I followed all the recommended steps to enter the UEFI setup, but none of them worked.
I needed to change the boot order to start from a flash drive and recover the OS, but I couldn’t figure out how. After a lot of searching and wasted time, I finally found the correct way to enter the Surface UEFI.
Turn off the laptop completely by holding the power button for 5 seconds, or until it shuts off.
Then press and hold Volume Up + Power for 45 seconds.
Done. The Surface UEFI screen should appear, where you can change the boot settings.
