No that's not what I mean, I mean technologically, UEFI is flashed in your motherboard and there isn't any way for an OS to mess with that. You need to boot from a specially prepared USB with compatible firmware in order to change it. Your problem must have been above UEFI, or an error in your OS that mentioned UEFI.

There have been buggy implementations where UEFI is in fact NOT flashed to the motherboard and can get removed.

If he has one of those crappy computers it could be, but when I read about it happening it was entirely due to users MANUALLY deleting the UEFI files, did not happen upgrading.

So, the story seems still wrong to me.
