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

An information handling system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory including code for implementing:
• a basic input/output system (BIOS) operable to:
• initialize the information handling system;
• and
• store a configuration database including configuration information for the information handling system;
• and
• an operating system (OS) boot manager operable to:
• retrieve, by an operating system (OS) loader, the configuration information;
• determine 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;
• determine that the incompatibility can be mitigated by changing a first setting of the information handling system;
• change the first setting in response to determining that the incompatibility can be mitigated;
• and
• launch the OS in response to changing the first setting.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including code for performing a method, the 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 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 that the incompatibility can be mitigated by changing a first setting of the information handling system;
• changing the first setting in response to determining that the incompatibility can be mitigated;
• and
• launching the OS in response to changing the first setting.
