H2OUVE.exe (Insyde H2O UEFI Variable Editor) is a powerful command-line utility used to edit BIOS/UEFI variables directly from within Windows. It is most commonly used by enthusiasts to unlock hidden BIOS settings, such as undervolting or advanced overclocking menus, without flashing a modified BIOS image. 🛠️ Core Commands
To "prepare a complete text" file of your BIOS variables, use these specific commands in an Administrator Command Prompt: Export Variables: H2OUVE-W-CONSOLEx64.exe -gv vars.txt h2ouve.exe
This "gets variables" and saves them into a readable text file named vars.txt.
Export Setup Settings: H2OUVE-W-CONSOLEx64.exe -gs setup.txt This extracts current runtime setup settings. Import Changes: H2OUVE-W-CONSOLEx64.exe -sv vars.txt Prevention is always easier than removal
This "sets variables" by writing your modified text file back into the BIOS. 📝 Step-by-Step Guide
If you are trying to unlock settings (like "CpuSetup"), follow this typical workflow: H2OUVE
Preparation: Disable Secure Boot in your BIOS settings first, or the tool may fail to write changes. Dump: Run the -gv command to create your vars.txt.
Edit: Open the text file in Notepad. Search for the variable you want to change (e.g., changing a 01 to 00 to disable a lock).
Flash: Save the file and run the -sv command to apply the new values.
Reboot: Restart your computer for the changes to take effect. ⚠️ Important Warnings en:x86:tqmxe39s:bios:bios_tools | TQ Support Wiki
