    Hi guys, I will suggest you a method. With this method, you will be able to change bios settings in Administrator mode on MSI laptops. For example, Intel Speed Shift technology is not active in laptops with Skylake processors. You can activate this setting while in administrator mode. Also Intel Bios Guard,You will have access to Intel Software Guard Extensions, overclocking and many more settings. Press the Delete key while the laptop is starting up. Access Bios mode. All you have to do is press "Left Alt + Right Ctrl + Right Shift + F2" Keys simultaneously. You will access the administrator mode.

    Dude that combo would of been best in a DM rather then the public.

    For one MSI could change that combo at anytime and second messing with some of them settings that get unlocked can brick your system without recovery.

    Haha appreciate it op but this has been all over the internet for awhile now.It's one the main reasons I went with a msi laptop..They really came through leaving access to all these settings while majority of the big brands are locking down there machines....Haha I know I would of barbecued any other 10th gen intel machine by now if I didn't have access to the advanced settings.

    Does the combo unlock the menu "forever" or only when you use it?

    Only when you use it. Pressing the combo again hides everything again as well.

    admin mode is good
    it should be accessible to all ,,but is it RISK
    PCI-E setting --get BLACK SCREEN for all time for some notebooks models
    ,.same think disable ME FW on MSI

    not test all from this MENU or carefully :)
