Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.

Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?

    Couple of things - back then, bios was slow to load. Add to that if they had a usb keyboard or mouse, the bios wouldn’t detect it and make you go into bios (even though the keyboard and mouse it just didn’t detect accepted the keypresses to go into bios). There was an option to set in most to skip keyboard and mouse errors. They probably didn’t know how to set it.
