2.If the Setup utility does not open with system information displayed, use the arrow keys to select the Main menu. (When the Main menu is selected, ROM and other system information is displayed.)

3.To close the Setup utility without changing any settings, use the arrow keys to select the Exit menu > Exit Discarding Changes, and then press enter. (The notebook restarts in Windows.)
