"Beginning with Windows 8, a PC manufacturer can embed a program -- a Windows .exe file, essentially -- in the PC's UEFI firmware. This is stored in the "Windows Platform Binary Table" (WPBT) section of the UEFI firmware. Whenever Windows boots, it looks at the UEFI firmware for this program, copies it from the firmware to the operating system drive, and runs it. "
" Lenovo shipped a variety of PCs with something called the "Lenovo Service Engine" (LSE) enabled. "
“Obfuscated” is another word, that is used to describe a thing that, while requiring no password, intentionally made complicated to achieve similar effect.
Hollywood style “the system is encrypted” is not real. That’s total technobabble, I’d say like “soft boiling a dinner plate”, nobody knows what it even amounts to.
