After updated to the latest bios, I cannot enter bios again after setting UEFI with TOSHIBA NVME XG3 256G PCI-E M.2 SSD 2280 NGFF. This SSD was set as GPT format. However I can go into windows 10.  I have to remove the battery and clear the bios settings before I can enter into setup menu in bios.  Anyone knows what's wrong with it?

from OS[Win10]
Settings => Update & Security => Recovery => Advanced startup => Restart now,
At next screen:[after reboot]
Troubleshoot => Advanced options => UEFI Firmware Settings => Restart

The latest is V2.8, and I have sent query to MSI support team,they suspected it may be my VGA card does not support GOP.  So I updated VBIOS (version113-C8800100-107) of R9 Fury X which supposed to enable UEFI GOP.  The problem still exists when I enable above 4G decoding in BIOS, it cannot enter into BIOS after restart.  If disabled it, even in pure UEFI mode, everything is ok.

I did not check it before.  I saw the new bios version has improved compatibility on M.2 SSD so upgrade the bios.  It may be the problem of R9 fury X. I will ask from AMD the latest Vbios that really support UEFI.
