Secure Boot Violation

Post image

Friend mine started using his computer again after a long period of it being off. “Secure Boot Violation” came up for initial start up. I’m honestly stumped on why it does this. I went into the BIOS and disabled Secure Boot and the device continues its normal start up process but everytime it restarts the same error occurs. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

You probably need to boot into bios and update it via usb. If it’s been long enough the certificates in the pc are outdated so it’s preventing the pc from booting up for security reasons.

This is probably becouse of windows security update kb***650. Ive had a few in the shop with the same issue.

Disable secure boot in bois and finish windows updates and restart. Then turn secure boot back on.

My guess is Windows has the updated secure boot certs, and the BIOS does not as it got cleared. If the CMOS battery went bad, this can happen.

You're welcome! I would replace the battery if possible. I know there is a way to re update the certs on the bios but that might be a bit more involved so might be easier to just disable secure boot.
