System and Method for Dynamically Changing System Behavior by Modifying Boot Configuration Data and Registry Entries

摘要

A method includes booting an information handling system, starting a BIOS on the information handling system, storing configuration information for the information handling system, retrieving, by an operating system (OS) loader, the configuration information, determining, by the OS boot manager, that a configuration of the information handling system indicated by the configuration information is incompatible with an OS loaded on the information handling system by the OS boot manager, determining, by the OS boot manager, that the incompatibility can be mitigated by changing a setting of the information handling system, changing, by the OS boot manager, the setting in response to determining that the incompatibility can be mitigated, and launching, by the OS boot manager, the OS in response to changing the setting.

1. A method comprising:
booting an information handling system; starting a basic input/output system (BIOS) in response to booting the information handling system; storing, by the BIOS, configuration information for the information handling system; retrieving, by an operating system (OS) boot manager, the configuration information; determining, by the OS boot manager, that a first configuration of the information handling system indicated by the configuration information is incompatible with an OS loaded on the information handling system by the OS boot manager; determining, by the OS boot manager, that the incompatibility can be mitigated by changing a first setting of the information handling system; changing, by the OS boot manager, the first setting in response to determining that the incompatibility can be mitigated; and launching, by the OS boot manager, the OS in response to changing the first setting.
