So the Beijing Borg is trying to patent what is essentially advanced system management as an 'invention'. One hears about them filing a lot of patents; probably most of them are badly-written trash like this.

 

We should revoke whatever patent licenses allow them to use the Internet. And electricity. And everything else we invented. We may have to give up gunpowder and fireworks.

 

By diffing an original vars.txt and a modded one I have lying around,, and then grepping,,I figured out that the bits I need to flip aren't in Setup, but ASSN (or something like that.

 

Has anyone perchance produced a list of what these bits are? One hears about unlocking advanced menus and such. I'm doing this on an obsolete laptop with a dead battery (went from fine to suddenly not taking a charge: one suspects an embedded 555 chip counted down to zero and decided it had 'worn out', which sounds like something a company would do which disabled an integral part of modern cpu functionality so they could sell a more expensive uncrippled product: surprised they didn't disable floating point).

 

I'm going to try exporting that section out of efivars as text, patching it with the diff if there's a perfect match, and then importing the result, and seeing what happens. Hold my beer.

HI Klem,

 

I don't know if you still replying to this thread but i have a problem. A while back, i have managed to enable virtualization on Windows 10 with H2OUVE. But recently i upgraded to Windows 11, tried to do the same method and  it returns :

Now parsing Variable Information.
LoadDeviceDriver fail, GetLastError = 0x800b010c
Failed to get bios data!
Fail to get Variable Information.

My laptop is Acer Aspire E5-553G-F79R and usually i have both vars and modded vars BIOS data from successful attempt from a while back, but i kinda messed them up after recent error. Can you help me? Thanks.

PS. Here's the last modded vars, it's corrupted after H2OUVE messed it up and a big chunk lines of code got deleted

Hi!

In your case, I recommend you to prepare bootable USB flash drive with Windows 8.1PE or with Windows 10PE, then boot your laptop from created bootable USB flash drive into Windows 8.1PE or with Windows 10PE, then use H2OUVE again.
