Damien,

Great work!
I don't know with which version of the Dell Provider module you created this module.
But I had to make some changes to make it work.

First my enviornment:
DellBIOSProvider version - 2.2.0.330
Windows 10 Pro 1903 build 18362.295
Windows PowerShell 5.1.18362.145

What I've changed:
Inside the "Get_Dell_BIOS_Settings" function, I have added this line before the "get-command -module dellbiosprovider | out-null":
Import-Module DellBIOSProvider -Force

I also changed the last line to better display the results:
$Get_BIOS_Settings | Format-Table -HideTableHeaders
