Changes to defaults don't take because they seem to get pulled from NVRAM #8

My issue is similar to this in that the changes made by UEFI-Editor do not take effect when I load the "Optimized Defaults".

What I do, is this:

  • I follow the guide and extract the files.
  • I load the files into UEFI Editor.
  • I change the value of a setting in the "Optimal" column.
  • I download the files. I get Section_Freeform_subtype_GUID_setupdata_setupdata_AMITSESetupData_body.bin only (and the changelog)
  • I re-instert the files, flash, reboot, load optimized defaults
  • The setting is not changed

Changelog is
`========== Section_Freeform_subtype_GUID_setupdata_setupdata_AMITSESetupData_body.bin ==========

Low Power S0 Idle Capability | QuestionId 0x225: Optimal 00 -> 01`

So, I looked into this and it seems in my BIOS (Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite DDR4, version F23), a copy of the default settings is stored in NVRAM. If I edit the setting in NVRAM, it takes. The optimized default value is changed and the current value is changed accordingly when I load optimized defaults. If UEFI Editor makes changes to AMITSESetupData_body.bin, the settings don't take.

It seems editing AMITSESetupData_body.bin does nothing.

Location of Optimized Defaults

Also, I'd like to say: Thank you for this great tool! Even if it doesn't currently work for me, I can see all the settings in their proper category, which is very useful!
