Thank you for the feedback! I managed to solve it by downgrading to an initial version of bios 1.15.0, it just doesn't have this function in this version.

Thank you for the feedback! I managed to solve it by downgrading to an initial version of bios 1.15.0, it just doesn't have this function in this version.

After some googling i found it can be turned on /off provisioned/unprovisioned with dell command configure and PowerShell Provider.

Dell Command | Configure Version 4.x Command Line Interface Reference Guide

To enable and provision ABI (Advanced BIOS Interface) on Dell systems, you typically use the Dell Command suite of utilities, such as Dell Command | Configure or Dell Command | PowerShell Provider, or configure the setting directly in the BIOS Setup.
The exact steps and interface options may vary depending on your specific Dell model and the version of the management tools or BIOS

Method 1: Using Dell Command | PowerShell Provider
The Dell Command | PowerShell Provider (DCPP) is a module that allows you to manage BIOS settings from within PowerShell.

Install the DCPP module from the Dell support site.
Open PowerShell as an administrator.
Navigate to the DellSmbios provider namespace:

#powershell command# cd DellSmbios

View the current state of ABI and provisioning

#powershell command# Get-Item -Path DellSmbios:\Security\ABIState
#powershell command# Get-Item -Path DellSmbios:\Security\ABIProvState

Enable ABI state (if not already enabled)

#powershell command# Set-Item -Path DellSmbios:\Security\ABIState -Value Enabled

Provision ABI by setting ABIProvState to a desired value (e.g., Enabled for full access, ReadOnly, or DisabledLegacyInterface)

#powershell command# Set-Item -Path DellSmbios:\Security\ABIProvState -Value Enabled

Note: If a BIOS password is set, you must provide it using the -Password parameter with the Set-Item command.

Method 2: Using Dell Command | Configure (CLI)
Dell Command | Configure is another utility that allows command-line interface (CLI) management of BIOS settings.

Install Dell Command | Configure from the Dell support site.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
Use the cctk command to enable and provision ABI. The specific option name is --ABIState and --ABIProvState.

#bash command# cctk --ABIState=Enabled
#bash command# cctk --ABIProvState=Enabled

Note: You might need to navigate to the installation directory, typically C:\Program Files\Dell\Command Configure\X86_64 (or X86).

Method 3: Via BIOS Setup Utility (F2 Menu)
You can also enable this setting manually in the BIOS setup interface on individual machines.

Restart your Dell computer.
When the Dell logo appears, press the F2 key immediately to enter the BIOS setup program.
Navigate to the Security section (or a similar location, path may vary by model).
Look for options like "ABI State" and "ABI Provisioning State" (or similar terminology).
Enable the settings as required.
Save your changes and exit the BIOS setup. The computer will restart.
