Hi JÃrgen,

There is one thing that you may be able to try. If you can enter the
BIOS menu, then you should be able to disable an option called
"UCMCx". Unfortunately I don't know the full path to that option in
the BIOS menu of the NUC, or is entering the BIOS menu possible in the
first place. It is also possible that there is no option "UCMCx" at
all.

Unfortunately I don't have access to NUC10 at the moment, but I'll try
get one.

Br,
