How do you access the BIOS if your machine boots too fast for you to enter it, but your OS is broken?

This is purely hypothetical and technically OS agnostic, but I usually see issues like this suffered by Windows 10 users who have got truly fast machines and have turned on Fast Boot. The process goes something like this:

• You have a truly fast computer that's been set up for a very fast boot.
• Your boot order options in your BIOS put your OS's storage medium first in your boot order.
• Because it boots so fast, traditional tricks for accessing the BIOS (e.g. spam F2 on boot) are impossible. The internet tells you that if you want to access your BIOS, you have to use your OS to tell your machine to boot to the BIOS on its next shutdown.
• One day, your OS breaks badly. In fact, it's broken so badly that cold boots and turning it on and off again many times change nothing. The case that I typically see is a machine that boots to a black screen after maybe a fraction of a second of showing the manufacture's splash screen.
• You'd love to use a recovery USB or a USB with your OS's ISO on it to fix this problem, but because you can't access the BIOS (to change the boot order) without accessing your unaccessible OS, you can't.
• You are now stuck in an awful position.

What is the normal procedure for fixing cases like this? I'm sure that there's a solution for Windows 10 somewhere, but is there a general fix? Nothing that I've said above is unique to Windows 10, so I'd like to hear an OS-agnostic solution if one exists.
