  1. PC doesn't boot when I enable secure boot


    I'm trying to play a game but it says I need to have secure boot enabled, so I restart my pc, go to the UEFI settings, enable secure boot, save and exit, and it says "your pc did not start correctly" and only boots when I disable secure boot

  2. 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.

    How to Enable Secure Boot on asus prime x470-pro

    Hi, I'm Elise, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    There is a very detailed guide here which provided step by steps instructions on how to enable this:

    I would suggest ensuring you have a backup of any important data before you start this process.

    If you are still not able to enable this, there is also a method to install Windows 11 on ‘unsupported hardware’, this would allow you to bypass the requirement for secure boot:

    Kind Regards,
