Ready BIOS for 
Device Guard 
Use 
Action 
Ready BIOS for Device Guard Use includes a drop-down box that 
automatically configures the BIOS settings that Windows requires to 
enable Device Guard, or to change the configuration back to the 
configuration before Device Guard was enabled. Device Guard is a 
Windows feature that enables higher security around drivers and 
BIOS behavior. 
The following settings are possible: 
•  Configure on Next Boot 
•  Clear Configuration on Next Boot 
When set to Configure on Next Boot, the BIOS changes the following 
settings to the states required by Device Guard after saving changes 
and exit. 
•  Virtualization features are enabled. 
•  Removable and network boot devices are disabled (for 
example, USB boot, CD-ROM boot, Thunderbolt™ boot, 
etc.). 
•  MS UEFI CA Key is disabled. 
When set to Clear Configuration on Next Boot, the BIOS sets the 
listed features to their Custom Default state if custom defaults have 
been saved. If custom defaults have not been saved, the BIOS 
restores the listed features to their factory default states. 
4.6 Secure Platform Management (SPM) 
This submenu controls settings for Secure Platform Management that are used for secure enablement and management of 
the HP Sure Run, Sure Recover, and Sure Admin (Enhanced BIOS Authentication Mode) capabilities.  
You cannot provision SPM and activate HP Sure Run directly from the BIOS Setup interface. You can provision SPM using HP 
Client Security Manager Software or the HP Manageability Integration Kit. When provisioned, the controls in this menu can 
be used to deprovision the system or deactivate HP Sure Run.
