I suspect that Fast Startup and/or dirty bits on partitions are causing the EFI to disable those modes, and/or secure boot and/or Windows 8/10/11 "optimized settings" checkboxes causing the mode to not display or otherwise not be available, as I allude to in another thread on this post. Dell is not the only offender in this, as I've seen even more locked-down EFIs than Dell's that won't even allow you to disable secure boot.

- aspenmayer 2y agoYes, I would agree! I also agree with you that OP didn’t seem to be troubleshooting as much as venting, but from the Reddit thread that someone else posted, OP seems sympathetic and responsive to helpful commenters, so I hope that they see this HN post if they still need it, which was unclear from the Reddit thread. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42543714 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42543714
