For example, you use Windows 10 devices in a secure environment, and want to disable the camera. You can disable the camera at the firmware-layer, so it doesn't matter what the end user does. Reinstalling the OS or wiping the computer won't turn the camera back on. In another example, lock down the boot options to prevent users from booting up another OS, or an older version of Windows that doesn't have the same security features.

When you reinstall an older Windows version, install a separate OS, or format the hard drive, you can't override DFCI management. This feature can prevent malware from communicating with OS processes, including elevated OS processes. DFCI's trust chain uses public key cryptography, and doesn't depend on local UEFI (BIOS) password security. This layer of security blocks local users from accessing managed settings from the device's UEFI (BIOS) menus.
