You mean clearing the BIOS/UEFI settings stored in NVRAM?Maverick wrote: Mon Mar 10, 2025 5:01 am Anyone knows which Windows command is used for non-volatile RAM? I just want to reset or clear any stored settings in non-volatile memory.is there no built-in Windows command for it?
Yes like resetting the boot configuration and stuff.Kai wrote: Wed Mar 12, 2025 6:18 amYou mean clearing the BIOS/UEFI settings stored in NVRAM?Maverick wrote: Mon Mar 10, 2025 5:01 am Anyone knows which Windows command is used for non-volatile RAM?

You can use bcdedit /delete {current} or bcdedit /reset for boot configuration, but if you want to fully clear NVRAM, you usually need to reset it from the BIOS itself.Maverick wrote: Wed Mar 12, 2025 6:19 amYes like resetting the boot configuration and stuff.Kai wrote: Wed Mar 12, 2025 6:18 amYou mean clearing the BIOS/UEFI settings stored in NVRAM?Maverick wrote: Mon Mar 10, 2025 5:01 am Anyone knows which Windows command is used for non-volatile RAM?

Not exactly. But you can try clear nvram in some UEFI firmware interfaces. Otherwise, shutting down the PC, unplugging it, and removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes should reset it.
Got it. What about wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity—does that show NVRAM details?Kai wrote: Wed Mar 12, 2025 6:22 amNot exactly. But you can try clear nvram in some UEFI firmware interfaces.

No, that just shows your RAM capacity. If you want to check TPM NVRAM, you can use tpm.msc or PowerShell commands like Clear-Tpm.Maverick wrote: Wed Mar 12, 2025 6:24 amGot it.
