Windows 10: When I try to enable secure boot, it only allows me to change secure boot control settings...

I tried to get a screenshot but I can't. I have BIOS on UEFI mode and should be able to change it but the setting is grey and clicking it doesn't do anything. I tried contacting Microsoft but that was a pain in the butt and after 10 calls, multiple searches and multiple YouTube videos and sites I can tell that this problems answer is out of my area of interest. I did this on BIOS settings.

Windows 8 Secure Boot: Designed to Lock Out Linux?

from the article:

translation:

so if an oem manufacturer wants their firmware to enable secure boot with windows, it will be controlled and mandated by microsoft.

in order to allow secured boot, they will need to follow msofts rules. since the signed os bit is part of UEFI anyway, i'm not sure what rules microsoft will impose, but this is fancy speak trying to hide the fact that they WILL mandate and control firmwares that enable secured boot for windows.

not saying that does or doesn't make sense, they just deliberately tried to hide that point.

 

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.
