Windows provides three different versions of the boot manager:
Booting off a physical DVD requires a different type of boot code than booting off a disk device. CD's & DVD's are written in the specialized ISO 9660 ("El Torito") volume format.
When you convert an ISO image to a bootable USB drive, the process copies the boot file from the ADK's source folders, or \Windows\Boot\EFI and EFI_EX.
The SVN number that's used to prevent Secure Boot from using an outdated boot file is provided as a separate version number for the Windows Boot Manager, DVD boot, and WDS network boot. The Windows Boot Manager SVN is up to 9.0, and both the DVD boot and WDS network boot are 3.0 (meaning it hasn't changed in a long time).

- DVD boot manager for physical DVD's
- WDS boot manager for network boot (PXE)
