No. I just took the time to find it. It is Intel VMD (Volume Management Device), which is directly related to VROC on servers but Intel has been including this feature in their mobile chipsets where it really doesn't serve a purpose. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000101179/memory-and-storage/datacenter-storage-solutions.html

Older boards default to IDE/Standard mode for the storage controller, but best practice since at least XP era has been to set that to AHCI before installation. So yes, it is common for a system to not boot when BIOS is reset and this is always the first thing to check. Similarly on modern systems using a supported RAID (JBOD) option if an NVMe is installed instead of AHCI,. More modern boards from ODMs within the past 2 years have been shipping with a secondary option relating to the storage controller... which name escapes me right now. Basically it is a feature that only has a benefit for RAID but has been found to be enabled by default where AHCI is the default and also on systems that don't even have a RAID option at all... such as notebooks. This feature was annoying at its launch because Windows required a driver to use it (and boot) in addition to the storage driver and Windows versions at the time didn't have a default driver and there wasn't one initially available for WinPE either. I think current Windows 11 has support for this option now but there certainly is an in-between set of Windows builds that have problems. I hate that I can't remember the name of that option but I had primarily seen it on notebooks from Asus and Clevo.

This specific error means that the key entered does not match the installed SKU of the OS. For example, trying to use a System Builder key on a Retail installation can show this type of error. Good to know it works for you know.

Use slmgr with /ipk and put your product key in that way. If it gives you an error, post that message.

This is already the right place. You need to contribute to this site before posting a link to your own.

Installed what? If I were to guess, StartAll/IsBack related, but if you can confirm we can move this thread to that section or for a different one if this is the wrong place.

I don't think that option is available. It doesn't appear for me and I see more options that a regular user. You can still save a page as webpage complete in browsers, which will save the pictures.

If using Diskpart, you just make the FAT32 efi partition on a GPT disk. You don't set anything, so I'm guessing Windows (or bcdboot) just works with it as is. I think Diskpart will actually show an error message if you try to make a partition active on a GPT disk

AMD has something that mimmicks a TPM. When I was building out configuration requirements for Windows 11, I initially left AMD out because those boards didn't have a TPM. But they have something else that Win11 recognizes as a TPM. It just has a different name on the spec sheets and probably does the same thing. I actually have no experience with either those or IME and I never had to field any questions about them, even from USG/Mil clients. The only motherboard feature like that I've had to deal with was Secure Boot. So to my knowledge, I never have known anyone who ever used a TPM for anything.

You only use the /s or /f option on GPT disk partition layout. You cannot make a partition active on a GPT disk.

Refresh still exists but it only works in specific circumstances. In my previous testing, refresh only can work if the WinRE components are the same exact build as the installed OS, but the installed OS build changes with updates. So Refresh can work in a system that doesn't update but that is not typical in a modern system. I also prefer that option as well, as it reminds me of the repair install you could do with XP. I don't understand the TPM requirement either, especially in regards to the retail market. Probably it was just easier to include an Enterprise feature in all editions and be done with it.

Working where? I don't know where that registration question comes from, whether it is a default in IPS or if Xper wrote it.

I'm not necessarily sure about the error code that you had received, but there have been some instances where I have encountered a seemingly unsolveable boot error on Windows 10/11 like this without being able to fix it. My last resort solution is to image the OS partition and redeploy the entire system. It is time consuming but so far that ends up working.

Color is spelled correctly, at least in US English it is that way. The sentence has a grammar error but that's probably even better to deter bots, idk. Something is supposed to appear next to Security Check and it doesn't, not even for me. I suppose it could appear if you modify your browser settings to allow such content to appear but that shouldn't be a requirement, the forum's registration should work on stock (and "secure") browser settings.

The captcha provider on the site/forum's registration form is showing a certificate error for some users. The result is that the captcha does not appear on the form so the registration process cannot complete.
