    Secure boot Windows 11


    Is it safe to disable secure boot, I use R-drive image backup software and their restore dvd needs secure boot off. After a restore I turned it back on, but can I leave it off?Also is secure boot only to protect from other software booting like a Linux Distro you don't know about, etc?And if left off does it interfere with Windows update?Any software I boot, I trust like a Windows repair USB, the r-drive recovery DVD. I wouldn't just boot any iso image written to DVD without knowing what it is and where it came from. Please advise.If I do need it enabled, does turning it off and on for a r

    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.

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