Secure Boot Enabled in BIOS, but not Windows 11

Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

It's possible that there may be a few reasons why Windows is reporting that Secure Boot is off, even though you've enabled it in your BIOS settings. Here are a few things you can try:

Verify that your computer's UEFI firmware is up-to-date. Check your motherboard manufacturer's website for any available BIOS updates.

Check that your operating system is configured to use Secure Boot. In Windows 11, you can check this by going to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Advanced Startup > Restart now. Once your computer restarts, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings. This will take you to your computer's BIOS settings. Make sure that Secure Boot is enabled here.

Verify that your boot configuration is set up to use Secure Boot. You can do this by going to the System Configuration settings in Windows 11. Press the Windows key + R and type "msconfig" in the Run dialog box. In the System Configuration window, click on the "Boot" tab, and make sure that the "Safe boot" and "No GUI boot" options are unchecked.

Check for any third-party software that may be interfering with Secure Boot. Antivirus software, system optimization utilities, and some other programs may interfere with Secure Boot. Try temporarily disabling any such software to see if that resolves the issue.

Finally, it's possible that your computer's hardware does not fully support Secure Boot, even if your BIOS settings are configured correctly. You may want to check with your computer's manufacturer to see if your particular model supports Secure Boot.

I hope this helps you get Secure Boot working on your machine.

Regards.

 

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
• Linux
• Linux
• 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.
