Aurora R15, BIOS, no Virtualization setting

I seem to have a strange issue. I am working on a project that requires me to turn off Virtualization - based security, AKA VBS. When I first purchased my Alienware Aurora R15 there was a setting in the BIOS to turn off Virtualization, I had used it a while back for a game that had anti cheat software and itwould only run with it off and I am sure I wentin the bios of this machine and turned it off. Unforunately now we are several BIOS versions later and it seems this setting is gone.  It seems impossible to disable it in Windows also, only way Ihave come to disable most of it is to change the boot to non UEFI

Can anyone make any suggestions tobring it back or simply disable VBS?

Thank you
