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 Guar, 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.
