find "CFG Lock" or "DVMT Pre-Allocated" inside setup.txt
- Find variables by their name in the .txt file via Ctrl + F (e.g. DVMT or CFG)
The line should be something like this for "DVMT Pre-Allocated":

One Of Option: 60M, Value (8 bit): 0xFE {09 07 A8 12 00 00 FE}
Important data (you may have different values):
- VarStore: 0x2 - ID of VarStore name
- VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0xF5 - Offset in VarStore
- Size: 1 - variable size ???
- One Of Option: 64M, Value (8 bit): 0x2 {09 07 99 12 00 00 02} - value for 64Mb (default = 32M)
For some BIOS versions (including mine) it is needed to find correct VarStore name by ID taken from above important data. In my case search line is "VarStoreId: 0x2":
VarStoreEFI: VarStoreId: 0x2 [72C5E28C-7783-43A1-8767-FAD73FCCAFA4], Attrubutes: 7, Size: 30F, Name: SaSetup {26 22 02 00 8C E2 C5 72 83 77 A1 43 87 67 FA D7 3F CC AF A4 07 00 00 00 0F 03 53 61 53 65 74 75 70 00}
SaSetup - name of 0xF5 variable found by "VarStoreId: 0x2" search line
- Run the Modified GRUB Shell and write the following command (setup_var_cv): setup_var_cv SaSetup 0xF5 0x01 0x2
setup_var_cv nameOfVarStore offsetInVarStore [optional variable size] [optional value to write]
Reboot your computer and check.
The line should be something like this for "CFG Lock":
One Of: CFG Lock, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x3E, VarStore: 0x3, QuestionId: 0x166, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0x1, Step: 0x0 {05 91 AD 03 AE 03 66 01 03 00 3E 00 10 10 00 01 00}

One Of Option: Enabled, Value (8 bit): 0x1 (default) {09 07 03 00 30 00 01}
End One Of {29 02}
Important data (you may have different values):
- VarStore: 0x3 - ID of VarStore name
