    BIOS, Secure boot status being off, while UEFI settings show that Secure boot is enabled


    Hi, I am struggling to enable Secure boot status, even though that the UEFI setting is enabled. I have already tried to set to BIOS defaults and then trying again, but it did not work.My storage device is set for GPT formatting.I found that restoring factory keys might be the solution but I do not know whether, that could do any harm to my personal data on my computer. Should I try restoring factory keys, or there is an other solution for my problem?Thank you for your answer!

    :)

    Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

    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.
