Hello there,
I'm having the strangest issue across all of my new builds, as with my signature build, my other X299 Deluxe II has the exact same behaviour.
Whenever I try to boot to BIOS (latest BIOS installed v.2417) with a macOS formatted drive attached, it just goes to black screen! I have to either remove all drives and let it boot into BIOS (due to not having any bootable drive off-course) or log into windows, shut down completely and then boot to "F2" to be able to log into BIOS.
I found this article on Asus website, but it just seems preposterous to have to do that to enter BIOS! We have never had such issues with previous BIOS versions and this is just very uncomfortable and inconvenient.
I'm not sure if -as the article says- has something to do with the loading of "Windows8" features with the new set of BIOS installed on new Z3xx and X299 series boards.
This is my personal experience, tried with both Z3xx and X299 boards with new BIOS. Hope anyone anyone else can give this a go and report back, because it would be very troublesome if we couldn't boot to BIOS and make changes quickly, I have some of my build in a rack mount config and removing it is just too much pain.
No matter if I log into windows first as the article says, as far as a mac formatted drive is connected, BIOS won't show..
Hope we can find a solution.
