Subject: H170A-X1/3.1 boots to BIOS sometimes

The Windows driver settings are identical between machines and both have the option to only allow a magic packet to wake up the computer.
I have noticed that maybe 20% of the time, it boots normally from a cold boot. Haven't figured out a pattern yet. Is that roughly the percentage you're seeing?
Like you, I haven't touched the Deep Sleep setting. Wonder if that has something to do with this issue? System in an unknown, undefined state via the default?

Does your board always boots into UEFI after power loss of the PSU or only sometimes? In my case it is often but not always. |
