    Acer Aspire TC-885 won't boot after enabling secure boot


    I was interested in enabling secure boot for windows 11, so i did. I shut down the pc, entered bios setup, and switched secure boot from off to on. That was it.Now the pc does not boot to windows regardless of bios settings, and i have tried:- Disabling secure boot- Changing boot order- Loading Default Settings- Changing Secure boot settingsNothing has worked. What happened and how do i fix this?

    :)

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

    • Linux

    • Oh and OSX
    Here is a statement from a Kernal Developer at Red Hat:

    I'm not sure this exploits the legacy BIOS but rather it exploits the legacy boot method on MBR drives, injecting a signed key before the OS boots, which you are correct in that it has nothing to do with Windows 8. And the simplest fix would just be to require boot drives use GPT when Secure Boot is enabled in UEFI.
