Tower Plus EBT2250, VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled, false

Hello, I'm encountering an issue with virtualization firmware on my XPS Tower Plus EBT2250 Core Ultra 9 285K.


Using the following PowerShell command:

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor | Select-Object Name, VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled, SecondLevelAddressTranslationExtensions

The output is:

Name                                      VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled    SecondLevelAddressTranslationExtensions  
----                                      -----------------------------    ---------------------------------------  
Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 285K            False                            False  


This seems unexpected given that virtualization should be supported on this CPU.

System Info:

  • Device: XPS Tower Plus EBT2250

  • OS: Windows 11 Pro

  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K

  • Result: VirtualizationFirmwareEnabled = False

I've already tried checking UEFI settings (VT-x, VT-d, etc.) and updated BIOS to the latest version. Intel and Dell support responses haven't provided a resolution so far. Is anyone else seeing this on similar models (e.g. XPS 8960)? Any confirmation or guidance from Dell engineers or fellow users would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, usui

I've moved this to the Dell Pro Desktop forum. The EBT2250 is not an XPS but a Dell Pro Desktop.

Hopefully someone with a i9 can give you some details and help.
