Crap! I inadvertently disabled by USB ports on my Win10 tablet in the BIOS and now I can't get them back!
I was trying to figure out how to get my Win10 tablet to boot from USB by changing the settings in the BIOS (American Megatrends.) Changing the boot order didn't work. Under the South Bridge Chipset settings, I disabled XHCI to change my USB settings manually and when the computer rebooted, my detachable keyboard was disabled!
I discovered I can get back into BIOS via the Windows Troubleshooter (via Win10 "Settings"), but once there, I can't get past the first menu ("Main"). The touchscreen doesn't work in BIOS.
My tablet has just 3 buttons, Vol -/+ and Power. The Volume buttons only move the selection up/down, so I can't access the other menus.
Does anyone know how to reset the BIOS on a tablet (short of cracking it open) or another way to navigate the menu or to get my keyboard back?
HELP! Thx.
