    Listen I have the same problem but i cannot boot into linux to delete EFi\"yourOS"\grubx64.efi. I have windows 11 on one SSD and POP OS on the other.
    I just installed a new SSD and POP on it. I did NOT enable F12. Now im stuck in windows 11 and cannot go into the BIOS. PLEASE HELP!

    Pop!_OS is designed to take over and not allow users to make many changes. As such it does try to disable entry into the BIOS by setting the timeout to 0 seconds. You should still be able to get there though by pressing and holding the F2 key while turning on the computer. It might take a few tries, but you can usually get in eventually...
