  2. Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

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

  3. SECURITY HELP

    Hi , ......help.

    I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

    I understand, your concern should be pop-up notifications are activated in browsers and thus suggesting on the computer to deactivate you.

    Step 1. Open Chrome and click on the three dots icon in the upper right corner of the screen. Then go to "Settings";

    Step 2. In "Privacy and security", access the option "Site settings",

    Step 3. Then click on "Notifications" in the list of options;

    Step 4. If you want to prevent new notifications from sites, deactivate the switch next to "Sites may ask to send you notifications";

    Step 5. The "Allow" list displays the websites that are allowed to send notifications. To deactivate one of them, click on the three dots icon next to their URL's;

    Step 6. You can block the notifications and keep the site in the list or remove them forever by clicking "Remove".

    In the list you remove all the norms of the sites that you don't know or that are malicious ADs sites.

    Another thing is to do an analysis with Microsoft's malwarebytes and MSRT program to check if you don't have any malware on your computer or malicious software.

  4. Having to deactivate windows 11 Security key

    Secure boot isn't turning on in HP laptop (windows 11)

    Hello Mohd_357,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.



    I understand the frustration you’re facing with Secure Boot on your HP laptop. Let’s troubleshoot this issue step by step:

    1. Load HP Factory Default Keys:
      • Go into the BIOS settings.
      • Navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options.
      • Look for an option to Load HP Factory Default Keys. If available, select it.
      • Check if Secure Boot becomes available after doing this.
    2. Disable Fast Startup:
      • Boot into your operating system (Windows 11).
      • Open Settings.
      • Go to Updates & Security > Recovery.
      • Click Restart Now under “Advanced startup.”
      • Wait for your PC to boot into the system recovery menu.
      • Select Troubleshoot and then choose Advanced options.
      • Finally, select UEFI Firmware Settings.
    3. Check BIOS Mode:
      • Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is in UEFI mode, not legacy mode.
      • If your notebook’s BIOS mode is set to legacy, you won’t be able to enable Secure Boot. You may need to reinstall Windows 11 from an EFI boot source.
    4. Reset BIOS settings to Default:
      • Reset BIOS settings may restore secure boot settings to normal factory state.

    Regarding TPM 2.0:

    • Your PC may not have TPM (Trusted Platform Module) support, which is required for Windows 11.
    • Additionally, Windows 11 requires an Intel 8th gen core processor or newer.

    I hope it can solve your problem.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation.



    Best Regards,
