UEFI Boot Editting about efibooteditor HOT 3 OPEN

Do you see anything, is the timeout registered correctly?
Can you share the raw dump (Help -> Dump raw EFI data) if it has anything?

What's the motherboard model? BIOS version?

Only thing that comes to mind is that while you have EFI support maybe you're actually booting in compatibility mode and EFI is actually unused (though I think that disables the EFI access in Windows altogether 🤔 ) or maybe there are some protections in your BIOS to lock read access to boot variables.

You can also try bcdedit /enum firmware in Terminal as Administrator to see what it shows.

No, upon opening the program, every tab is empty (see below);

Also, what's strange is my Windows 10 msconfig boot screen shows nothing as well?

Yet, I have (2) boot options available. 1 boots a VHDX file (also Windows 10), while the other boots to the C: drive partition (Windows 10 Pro x64 21H2);

I'm running an Azuz mother board, see below;

I have a similar setup on one of my laptops (2 boot options, VHDX and regular C: drive Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2). I see the same thing happening when running EFI Boot Editor.

The raw EFI data is empty as well, see attached.

Do you have any other ideas on something I can check on my end?

Yeah, completely nothing 😞 Interesting, if there are no errors showing up, not sure what could that be, maybe some option in the BIOS to limit the OS access as I mentioned (though I would expect error message, not silently returning nothing). But looking through BIOS images in google I don't see anything like that. Are you using Secure Boot?

And can you try the bcdedit /enum firmware in Terminal/cmd.exe as Administrator? This should show what the system tools are seeing (if they don't see anything as well then I'd say its driver/bios issue, but if they do I must have missed some permission or something).

Also your BIOS seems to be pretty old? maybe there is a bug in it. I see newer ones I think: https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b550-a-gaming-model/helpdesk_bios/ if you can its probably worth upgrading.
