Okay, so in older versions of Windows, you could boot BIOS from not only starting up the system, but also from exiting hibernation mode. In the new Windows 8.1, I haven't found a way to do that. According to my readings, the new BIOS is only available upon a full hard shut-down, and NOT from hibernation. However, I am in a situation where I wish to go into BIOS without turning the computer off. Is there still some sort of backdoor way to accomplish this?
To be specific, I'm trying to trick a program into believing 24 hours have passed (doing this normally from the Date & Time settings will not work, only going into hibernation and using BIOS to change the time will work, but that option seems to have been removed).
I'd love to hear a 'yes,' but a simple 'no' will suffice if you can only do it via shutting down Windows and terminating all running programs. :|
