New entry. EFI now supports NVRAM settings being persistent across reboots. This is where the settings are stored. Binary, tough to decode.

No clue about the "UuidLe" new entry at a first glance, but it might be related to the following entry in the 6.1.0 RC1 Changelog:
For the background story on this, see "Windows 10 loses activation". I haven't seen any way to modify this.
- SMBIOS: Store system UUID in little endian format which is the default for new VMs, while existing VMs stick to the old VirtualBox behavior of storing them in big endian format for backwards compatibility to avoid breaking the activation status of Windows VMs

Gone is the recompiler mode for Linux/Win Hosts, OSX had that "privilege" for the longest time.

- Virtualization core: Drop recompiler, i.e. running VMs now needs a CPU supporting hardware virtualization
Used to be 2.0, no clue what the improvements are...[color=#0000BF]6.1.0rc1[/color] wrote:00:00:09.536768 HM: Using VT-x implementation 3.0
If I find some time, I'll do a log comparison between a BIOS booting VM...
Done, nothing different. And that's to be expected, just the EFI part got updated...
