setup utility

About this tag
The setup utility tag covers discussions about accessing and using BIOS or UEFI setup utilities, often triggered by boot errors or hardware changes. Common scenarios include keyboard not detected prompts on Dell systems, strike F1/F2 messages when booting from USB or after replacing hard drives, and using the setup utility to configure boot order for OS installation on new laptops. The tag also includes references to the Office 365 Desktop Setup Tool and the SharePoint Easy Setup Script, which are software setup utilities for configuring Microsoft applications. Troubleshooting power failure during Windows upgrades and resolving no bootable device errors are recurring themes.
