An electronic device, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the processor is configured to:
• following power up of the electronic device, determine, within a basic input/output system (BIOS) process, that initialization of an operating system (OS) on the electronic device has not been performed;
• prior to exiting the BIOS process, generate a prompt to provide a user input indicating that a user is ready to initialize the OS;
• and
• based at least in part on receiving the user input, proceed with initializing the OS.

One or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions, that when executed, are configured to cause a processor to:

• following power up of an electronic device, begin a basic input/output system (BIOS) process;
• determine, as part of the BIOS process, that initialization of an operating system (OS) on the electronic device has not been performed;
• prior to exiting the BIOS process, generate a prompt to provide a user input indicating that a user is ready to initialize the OS;
