    Aren’t AMI, Insyde and Phoenix providers for 98% of PC (be it board or OEM) vendors though?

    And AFAIR, TianoCore is basically used everywhere by everyone as a base except maybe Apple.

      You may be right, I didn’t think those three were that much of the market, but maybe I’m wrong.

      I thought Tiano was a reference UEFI developed by Intel? So I’m not entirely sure its used by AMD, but maybe it is?

      EDK and EDK II are open source projects that spun off of that reference developed by Intel.

      I suppose the main thing I was trying to get across is that OP seemed to be blaming motherboard manufacturers for bad code… but this is the base open source code that is causing the issues, prior to implementation by motherboard manufacturers. Hence why it impacts so many.

        I am pretty sure TianoCore is also used by AMD systems as a reference as well.

        Here’s a similar situation that happened in 2019 at Lenovo’s site

        https://support.lenovo.com/cl/es/solutions/LEN-22660

        AMD systems are listed as well.

        As for most board vendors nowadays, I think they barely do anything with the code itself and just create the setup utility and boot logos. It is highly likely that they’re affected too.
