Probably, although this problem is avoidable as long as you get rid of
Windows.

I just had the funny thought, in case I really can't, to install VirtualBox
with a bridged network adapter and an internal switch connecting Windows
and VirtualBox.

Finally I make VirtualBox (internal) the gateway for Windows and block all
traffic there (and probably have a proxy if you need selected access from
Windows).

Next time I will try that..

I find it quite frustrating to be back in the 90ies where it was hard to
find a PC manufacturer who would care for anything but Windows,
installations again are hit and miss. And the fiddling with monitor mode
lines is replaced by figuring out what this UEFI "standard" implementation
is doing wrong this time..

It is actually worse this time because MS has these days the right to bully
manufacturers to block open software, it seems.

Peter
