Modifications are not saved on my ASUS B460 Trident A MS-B926

[T0mu]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description

Even if the modifications are apparently saved, on next reboot nothing is modified.
I have the same issue using efibootmgr, the solution in this case is adding "-e 3" .i.e forcing the system to pass --edd 3.0 info.
Is it possible for you to set a switch in the GUI to pass this option?

Environment

Can you share the dump before and after the change (Help -> Dump raw EFI data)? and maybe after the same change is introduced with efibootmgr.

As far as I can tell the --edd switch in efibootmgr just changes how the file path is auto-detected (see below).

Since there is no auto-detection in EFIBootEditor and you have to specify the full file path manually I don't think that's the issue 🤔 (unless you're changing the file path to "invalid" one according to the firmware but I don't think there is a way to test/validate that at runtime so I can't even show an error or warning 😞 )

Reference to where --edd is used in efibootmgr:

• reading argument
• using it for path_options
• using the options with efi_generate_file_device_path_from_esp
