Windows 10: Change bitlocker secure boot policy

Hi,I currently have Windows 11 Pro with BitLocker enabled and requiring a key/passcode on boot.Now I frequently want to boot my laptop from PXE over the network and to do this I need to keep turning off secure boot. If I turn off secure boot I can't then re-boot back into Windows without turning it back on.So I don't have to switch between secure boot and non-secure boot is there a way I can adjust the BitLocker policy to allow me to boot up Windows without secure boot enabled?Also, yes I understand non-secure boot is not as secure but I have my reasons and good hourly timeline backups in plac

Secure Boot and Bitlocker

You don't need secure boot. You can have it on or off as you wish.

If you change the secure boot setting (on to off or vv) though by fiddling with the BIOS settings it will trigger a change that requires your whole 48 digit bitlocker key to be entered so if you want to change it suspend bitlocker and then restart (so you can make your BIOS change).

You need to do the same "suspend bitlocker/reboot" cycle for any other BIOS change that impacts on boot.
