Question Asus motherboard bootup

[Ellen25]

I have a custom built computer (but not by me) with ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG MAXIMUS Z690 HERO EVA (LGA1700) motherboard. I like to use several SSD portable drives. The F8 key will show the drives available to boot from, then waits for me to select. Is there a setting of some kind where I can just turn the power on and the computer boots up to the drives screen where I don't have to press any key to get there? Wondering if Asus might have a hidden setting that users might not know about.

If you have multiple OS to boot from, you have to request for the drive options prompt or the system will boot from the drive at highest priority. If you are running only one OS, you can set that installation drive as highest priority...

The video you posted was very interesting, I learned some thing I may need later on.
The option to set the annoying lights on or off is sort of comparable to the type of boot I would like.
I would think the manufacturer could let users set the boot options screen (but not the bios screen) to enable or disable at bootup. I was hoping Asus already had this, but guess not. Probably no one ever thought of it before, except me

But that's what F8 is for, to let you choose BOOT drive, otherwise it will boot to default drive. If default BOOT drive is not defined BIOS would probably ask for it without pressing F8.

Windows on main built in drive ? I like to use https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ to make Boot menu from which to choose OS to run. It can also be set to start of them automatically after preset time.

Well, I'll never say never, I will take a look at Easy BCD. Thanks, appreciate your help.
