not  sure really but this would be  a BIOS only feature.

is BIOS updated?

if yes, then there may be an option to never boot.

in the boot order page, forcing F12 (hoping)

on my 3020

under boot sequence,  I can deselect them all did you try that first>?

what it does next not sure,  F1./F2 /f12 , what it defaults to IDK..  (scared to try on mine, or too lazy , hehehe)

also years ago

I set mine up with GRUB and always booted to GRUB and in the boot menu in grub. has

1: windows X

2: Linux Z.

and programmed GRUB to sit there, no time outs or defaults just parks here each boot.

this can be done in windows to but is more tricky.

Thanks for the reply! BIOS is fully updated. If I deselect everything it doesn't go to boot options, it just says no boot devices found and sits there until I F1 to retry boot or F2 for setup. I could give GRUB a try and see how that works out but I was hoping there was something built-in or sneaky I could do to make it so!

In any case, I appreciate your time very much!

No.  Bios is not a select able Boot manager.
