 Dell systems change Boot sequence in BIOS after deployment

When we image our systems we leave the Windows boot manager at the top of the list and just choose F12 for a one time boot to IPV4 to PXE, been doing it that way for years. We recently went from 8.1 to 8.6. We did not do an upgrade we built in parallel but did migrate packages, filters, jobs, etc. The weird thing is after we run the Deploy job on Dell systems and reboots to production the boot sequence order changes by itself putting the Windows boot manager below IPV4 & 6. This happens on all Dell systems from brand new to over 5 years old, but it does not occur on HP systems. I've also posted this on Dell Community over 2 weeks ago but have not received any replies. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution? It's a pain to have to go back into the BIOS before giving to the end user.

Thanks, Greg
