    Hi, the title is a bit confusing because it is difficult to explain in short.

    The problem is that I was touching the UEFI for being able to boot from the USB stick to install other Operating Systems and so on. But once done with that, I want to have the Fast Boot enabled again as it takes a bit too long to boot.

    So I go to UEFI and reset everything to default. Save and Exit. And then... it won't boot anymore. It will take me to UEFI directly again and again and again. In order to boot to Windows (8.1) I have to disable again the Fast Boot and all the other things I do when I want to boot from a USB.

    So, in short, the DEFAULT configuration of UEFI is "damaged" and won't let me boot to WIndows but will keep me stuck in UEFI.

    Does anyone know how could I have the Fast Boot option enabled again in UEFI and why this problem is happening?

    Thanks in advance.

    Did you install Windows 8(.1) with said options disabled/altered previously?
