    Cannot turn on secure boot


    I just got a new hard drive, with windows 11 and, skipping all the tedious information, I found out that I need to have secure boot enabled. But, for some reason when I go to enable it in the BIOS, I switched it on with the option, but when my laptop booted after that, it still stayed off. I really have no clue of what to do or why any of this is happening so I would be thankful to anyone able to help

    :)

    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.

    in AntiVirus, Firewalls and System Security
    Gosh... Turn on Secure Boot?: I installed Win 10 64 bit (Home, retail version) without enabling "secure boot" in the BIOS. Of course, Win 10 reports that secure boot is off. Is there a way to enable "secure boot" or should I reinstall Win 10? 40690
