[SOLVED] CSM enable or disable?

[turbokid7817]

I've recently installed Windows 10 on my NVMe SSD. While installing, I disabled my CSM. Do I need to enable it after installation or can I leave it?

What advantage or disadvantage does an enabled CSM have over a disabled one?

The Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is a component of the UEFI firmware that provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS environment, allowing legacy operating systems and some option ROMs that do not support UEFI to still be used.

CSM also provides required legacy System Management Mode (SMM) functionality, called CompatibilitySmm, as an addition to features provided by the UEFI SMM. This is optional, and highly chipset and platform specific. An example of such a legacy SMM functionality is providing USB legacy support for keyboard and mouse, by emulating their classic PS/2 counterparts.

Yes, you can always enable it if you find need for it
