    I use MBR native vhds, stored in a single EFI partitions and I can disable the signature enforcement as usual, using bootice or the command line

    I can tell that for sure because I have to mod an Intel .inf that blocks the installation of a network driver on server OS

    Do you have to do it every time, or its permanant?

    Obviously it's permanent.

    Where was the news if I had to do that each time? (which is the stock behavior, since xp64)

    Thats a start but that's not patchguard. I know efiguard can do it, but I want to know if it's possible to pull the patched files from memory to disk.

    Isn't version agnostic in-memory patching vastly superior than statically mod the actual system files? That's the USP of EfiGuard, so why going backward?

    Because its annoying to use efiguard every time.
