Can't access BIOS on Samsung Slate XE700T1A
When I turn on the tablet, I always get a screen for "SAMSUNG" but then:
Windows Recovery Environment. Your PC needs to be repaired. A
required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. Error Code
0xc0000185. Your PC doesn't have the Windows Recover Environment
installed. ...
Any attempt to access BIOS (Holding Win Key while turning on or holding Volume Key while turning on) fails to produce any results, although sometimes this does result in a split second screen that says "Windows Devolper Preview. Preparing automatic repair", but then continues to the Error screen.
I'm attempting to get into the BIOS to turn on the boot order to boot to USB first so I can overwrite the OS.
Is this thing a brick now?

Did you run a developer preview version of Windows before the issue started to occur?

After much research I will have to send it in to Samsung for them to reset the bios, thus disabling fast boot. There is apparently nothing I as a user can do unless I want to attempt breaking it open and resetting it myself.
Since this is a hand-me-down and probably out of warranty, I doubt Samsung will touch it and that makes it an expensive brick :(

A note on accessing BIOS, I'm not sure what the key combinations are, but try to press them, then press the power button while holding the key combination.

I had the same BIOS entrance problem so many times.
The problem is Windows has fast startup option to reduce the time it loads OS.
To do this it overwrites legacy Options in BIOS.so you cannot enter BIOS with old key combinations also you have limited time to press hot key.
Default hot keys are Del + F8 , Or Del+F10 or Del + Esc or Del with something
Windows button is not usually used to enter bios, but for the Samsung slate, which has no keyboard, the windows button is used to enter the bios. Immediately after turning the power on, depress the windows button and hold it down until the bios pops up. Then you can navigate in the bios using the volume buttons, the lock button (next to power button) as enter, and the windows button as esc.

Actually peripherals are powered with BIOS. If you can use it in the error screen you get , you must be able to use it before OS loads. The Problem is sth different I Guess. Sorry I couldn't be any part of help.
