compatibility steps:

Minimal — The system boots quickly, unless the BIOS has

been updated, memory changed, or the previous POST did

not complete.

Thorough — The system does not skip any steps in the

boot process.

Auto — This allows the operating system to control this

setting (this works only when the operating system

supports Simple Boot Flag).

This option is set to Thorough by default.
