VMware虚拟机进入BIOS及UEFI启动设置

时间：2026-06-16 07:57

在VMware虚拟机中进入BIOS设置，看似简单，但实际启动画面往往一闪而过，即便猛按F2或ESC键也毫无反应，确实令人困扰。根本原因在于VMware默认的启动等待时间过短，键盘指令尚未被识别，系统便已开始加载。下方两张图片展示了典型场景——若不提前配置启动延时参数，几乎无法抓住那短暂的BIOS入口

设置VMware启动进入BIOS以及对UEFI的支持

实际上，控制VMware虚拟机启动行为的选项就隐藏在虚拟机的配置文件（.vmx）中。网络上有两种主流方法，经过实测均能有效解决进入BIOS的问题。

VMware虚拟机进入BIOS的实用方法

第一种方法：直接在.vmx文件中添加一行参数：
bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"
添加该行后，下一次启动虚拟机时将自动进入BIOS设置界面。VMware会在启动完成后自动将该参数修改为FALSE，避免重复进入。若后续再次需要进入BIOS，只需手动将其改回TRUE即可。

第二种方案更为直观：延长启动画面显示时间。例如添加：
bios.bootDelay = "10000"
其中10000代表10秒（单位为毫秒）。通过这种方式，启动时拥有充裕的时间按下键盘按键，从而轻松进入BIOS设置。

在测试环境中，我们找到一台名为GETTESTLX的虚拟机对应的.vmx文件，在末尾添加上述两个参数中的任意一个，均可顺利进入BIOS。以下为该配置文件的完整内容（仅供参考）：
