with Automatic DriveLock enabled where the system unexpectedly displays the
message, Enter current DriveLock Password.

after the BIOS Administrator Password is removed.
- Fixes an issue where the original boot entry is deleted when a third-party
encryption software creates a boot entry.

instead of the EFI partition.

BIOS Administrator password where hard drive continues to prompt for the
DriveLock password.
- Fixes an issue that occurs on a hard drive that has the Automatic DriveLock
option enabled where Automatic DriveLock cannot be enabled after the hard drive
has been put into another system and the Automatic DriveLock option is disabled
by the other system.
- Fixes an issue on a system with an NVMe SSD where the Automatic DriveLock
option cannot be enabled after a BIOS Administrator password is set in the in
F10 menu.

with BIOS Administrator and POST Power-On Password options when a scheduled
update check fails.
- Fixes an intermittent issue which causes the system to shutdown unexpectedly
when the battery is in the shipping mode state and the power button is pressed
too soon (within 5 seconds) after the system is connected to an AC adapter.
