    I've tried to disable the quiet boot option. So when the computer check device there are so many beep sounds. But it still can start if I press any key. May be my laptop has some problem in hardware, isn't it?

       I have just the same problem...
      Still looking for the solution...
      Disable fast boot on Windows 10, got a normal boot, but still have to press a key to keep going from Dell logo
      Sometimes a screen move repeatedly  to up and pressing the up arrow it stops,
      Did you try to plug a external keyboard?

        When system comes up if you go into notepad for example do all keys work properly? A hung POST can be a weak CMOS battery and it might not tell you that the battery is borderline. While not a laptop i had a desktop computer act up when battery was borderline, it held the date/time and that why I ignored the CMOS battery, but someone here years ago suggested checking battery and i checked it and it was low and replaced cmos battery and problem was solved.
