Can someone help me unlock bios version 1.12 to show hidden menus ?
This is the latest bios for this model from alienware(dell) website.(april 2021)

Hi friend,
Dell Alienware have the Intel Boot Guard on PCH so you have to check the ME to verify the FPF , as this protection by the Fuse will burn them into PCH and then you would to change it !!!
Look here :

This is the same for M series and more ...

I saw into the UEFITool , but you can check it by ME info :

[Tip] Use of the Intel MEInfo Tool under Win8.1 RTM

You have to find your ME version and find the meinfowin64.exe for you firmware and read the test ...

Here are the download links to the latest Intel MEInfo Tools:

for Intel 7-Series Chipsets: >MEInfo Tool v8.1.10.1286< (>MIRROR<)

im confused , i dont know where to start , downloaded the UEFITool_NE_A58_win32 and then started the exe file but dont know what file to load

Hi friend,
here there is the bios file extracted , but you have to do different thing , use the meinfowin64.exe and get the infos about ME and FPF from the log file.
Then post it here and we will check the Boot Guard into this bios.
I used UEFITool to read the bios and see all about , there is Boot Guard advice there, but you have to check by different tool ME Info !!!
