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.
